hp Jornada 920 series wireless digital assistant user’s guide
installing a MIDlet suite
MIDP applications are packaged and distributed in MIDlet suites, which
come in a standard format of a .jar file and a .jad file. Using hp
MicroChaiVM, you can install a MIDlet suite from a file system or directly
from the Web using HTTP.
Installing a MIDlet suite is a two-step process. You first install the .jad file, which
will automatically directs hp MicroChaiVM to the .jar file. You must install both
the .jad and .jar files for the MIDlet to work.
To install a MIDlet suite from a file system
1.
Transfer the .jad and .jar files for the desired MIDlet suite onto
your hp Jornada. For example, use ActiveSync to place the files
My Documents
. For more information, see “connecting to your
desktop pc” earlier in this chapter.
If you install a MIDlet from a Compact Flash card, you must place the .jar and
.jad files in the
My Documents
folder on the card. If necessary, create a
My
Documents
folder on the Compact Flash card and place the .jar and .jad files
in this folder or any of its subfolders.
2.
On the menu bar of the Application Manager screen, tap
Install
.
3.
On the Install Source screen, tap
Select JAD file
.
4.
Browse to select the .jad file for the MIDlet suite.
5.
If the Application Descriptor screen shows the MIDlet that you
want to install, tap
Yes
. After a successful installation, a Success
screen will be displayed.
6.
On the menu bar of the Success screen, tap
Finish.
The MIDlet
will appear on the Application Manager screen.
If you are using the File Explorer on your hp Jornada and find a JAD file with
the hp MicroChaiVM icon, you can tap on the .jad file with the
icon to
invoke hp MicroChaiVM and install the MIDlet suite.
