lcdui v/s lwuit


I want to create j2me screens for an application. I am new to j2me and wnat to know if i should opt for lcdui or lwuit. I read that lwuit will be supported only in CLDC 1.1 mobiles. I would like to know the list of CLDC 1.0 mobiles. From what I have done with lcdui coding, I think there are many limitations. One of the limitation is that a textbox and a list together cannot be put inside a form. I will need screens where a textbox may be put with a list.

Any j2me professionals, please five suggestions on whether i should choose lcdui or lwuit. And the practical difficulties you faced with each approach.

Thanks


Solution

  • I suggest you to use LWUIT. Because you can create an application with good UI by using LWUIT. you significantly reduce the JAR file size by using the .RES theme for the application design.

    As far as i understood, you want to put a Textbox and List inside a form rite? it is very well possible in LWUIT.
