read datas on serial port of palm

Hi,

The read methods of a DataInputStream (stream on serial port) in the cldc are blocking meanning, I think, that the method wait a byte before returns it (can wait a very long time if no byte is received !!!).

How can I know that a byte as been received before reading it ?

The available method give the numbers of bytes available without blocking.

Thanks

[jlwnet],

Since no one has answered your posting for over 1 month, I will give this posting of yours a try.

One quick question for you - are you using the MIDP for Palm 1.0 reference implementation on your Palm device?

I am just trying to gather some information on your development environment before I analyse the problem that you are getting with the DataInputStream class of the java.io.* package.

HTH.
