Hi, I'm making a midlet, and I want to create a gui. i think the best way for making this is using canvas, but I can't find any tutorial/example. The gui would be something like this:

ah, and I cannot use j2mepolish.
Thanks for your help.
Please start with the link mentioned above. After discovering the APIs you need you can find numerous examples of custom UIs.
A couple of years ago there was a great example of creating a a custom UI framework on the web. I cant seem to find it now. The closest thing I could find now is http://www2.sys-con.com/itsg/virtualcd/Java/archives/0606/cordrey/index.html
Visit the Nokia and SE developer site. SE, especially, always has good examples.
I use the low level API for all my J2ME work. As an aside, you can look at some of my "weekend" projects. Here are some screenshots.

Grab the source if you like, but learn the basics first. I would not want you to inadvertently pick up any of my "bad habits." If you have time to waste, and dont mind lax production:), you can watch video demo an custom ui here:
