Samsung Omnia & Windows 6.5

[Earl]

Hi, not sure if I'm in the right section. I built a small application that I'd like to put on my Samsung Omnia PDA.
I've copied the file across with a few different extensions, but none seem to work. It's between 300-400kb in size and I have plenty of room on the Samsung. I've tried the .exe ;
.jar ( stand alone ) .jad, .jar (for mobiles) but still no success. I'm doing something wrong but not sure what? Any help appreciated.

"Samsung Omnia PDA" --> Is this Samsung SGH-i900 mobile phone or some other device?

As this has Windows Mobile as OS, you may need a separate java emulator to run J2ME files. So first make a simple bouncing ball program or whatever that doesn't use any extensions, then build it to java for mobile --> you'll get a jar and jad file, try to install through jad file or try to run the jar directly from the phone memory card, and if no luck, then I guess it requires some emulator to be installed first.

Hi MJK. Its a Samsung GT 18000t, mobile phone. I've built the small application as you said.It installed Ok.But a text box that I had in was only partially displayed, and when I closed the game the .jar and .jad files dissappeared?
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

Hmm.. maybe check your application resolution / window size from MMF and make sure it's 480x800 to match the phone's resolution. If you're using the string object, make sure it has a bit more room around the text because the text size displayed on the phone might differ from what you see in MMF.

I did have the screen resolution set correctly, but had to change the size of the text box as you suggested. Still not displaying properly and the files seem to disappear after I close the application. I've googled it, and it may have something to do with "Midlets" I'll investigate along those lines.
Thanks for your help.
