MIDP 2.0 version issues: $method is undefined for $type

I've written a MIDlet that does several "advanced" things: fetching images from the web, resizing them, saving them on the phone, displaying them.

This all works perfectly in the Nokia S60 3rd Edition FP1 emulator. This device has MIDP 2.0 and CLDC 1.1 support (also JSR75, which I need in order to save files). It also works as it should on the Nokia E71 (physical device).

I then tried to run the MIDlet on several other emulators. One of them, the DefaultCldcJtwiPhone2 from the Java ME SDK 3.0, also claims MIDP 2.0 and CLDC 1.1 support. It doesn't have JSR75, which explains why "FileConnection can not be resolved to a type".

This does not, however, explain why List.deleteAll(), String.equalsIgnoreCase(String) and a few others are undefined.

The actual errors that I get:

The method ceil(double) is undefined for the type Math
The method deleteAll() is undefined for the type List
The method equalsIgnoreCase(String) is undefined for the type String
The method getWidth() is undefined for the type Displayable

When I look at the MIDP 2.0 (i.e. JSR118) API (http://java.sun.com/javame/reference/apis/jsr118/), I can clearly see all of these methods being present, with the "since" tag being either MIDP 2.0 or CLDC 1.1.

My question: why doesn't an emulator with MIDP 2.0 support have access to all MIDP 2.0 methods? Or alternatively, what am I doing wrong?

Solution

Sounds like you're using methods defined in CLDC 1.1; the emulator you are using must only support CLDC 1.0 (this would certainly explain the lack of equalsIgnoreCase() and anything involving double and float primitives). See the full API here. And see here for a list of differences between 1.0 and 1.1.

EDIT: Some ways to check the CLDC version of your device:

1) Check the microedition.configuration system property as described here.

System.out.println("The CLDC version is:  " + System.getProperty("microedition.configuration"));

2) Check the existence of a class supported only in 1.1.

try {
    Class.forName("java.lang.ref.WeakReference");
    System.out.println("It's CLDC 1.1");
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
    System.out.println("It's CLDC 1.0");
}
