LWUIT RLinks v1.1

XML description:

This Java ME example application demonstrates how to build a network-accessing reader app using LWUIT for Series 40. The application connects to Reddit, a social news service where registered users submit content, typically in the form of a link. Other users then rate the submissions, which affects the ranking and position of the post on the site's pages and front page.

This application demonstrates:

• Custom theming with LWUIT using Resource Editor.
• Building custom lists containing items with various heights.
• Optimising scrolling performance with simple buffering.
• LWUIT lead components.
• Handling network connections and updating the UI from another thread.
• Retrieving and storing data using a JSON REST API.

Network layer was directly adopted from the LCDUI version of RLinks, so LWUIT's networking abilities are not used.
