Mobile Applications Learning Trail
What is a Mobile Application?
Mobile Applications use the Java Micro Edition
(Java ME) platform, which was developed
for small devices like pagers, mobile phones, and set-top boxes. Java ME uses
scaled down subsets of Java SE components, virtual machines
and APIs. It also defines APIs that are specifically targeted
at consumer mobile and embedded devices. NetBeans Mobility supports the two base
configurations of
the Java ME platform, CLDC and CDC.
- Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) is for devices
with less memory and processing power than CDC-based devices. The Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) is based on CLDC and more than a billion MIDP devices are in use worldwide.
- Connected Device Configuration (CDC) is for devices with much greater memory, processing power and
network connectivity such as smart phones, set-top boxes, and embedded devices and servers.
