web browser
Hello,
I would like to know if there is some kind of J2ME web browser that we could use within a midlet to display data?
Via GOOGLE i found this mini-opera but i am not sure if we can access it via our own midlet , is there an API for mini-opera available?
What i was thinking to do is to have a server sending HTML data as byte through a socket, the mobile device display the data according to the HTML code.
Mini-opera is not using directly HTML i guess but some proprietary language. How hard would it be to parse HTML on midlet side and draw in a Canvas accordingly ? Is there someone who did some work on this area?
thanks
seb

Hi sebven.
I don't understand very well what you want to do, but I'm creating a similar project where I need to call the browser on the mobile device.
In your midlet you can use the service platformRequest to call the browser in the mobile device.
See this: http://developers.sun.com/techtopics/mobility/midp/ttips/platformRequest/index.html
Hope I helped.

hi thanks for your reply,
What i want to do is something like this.
My midlet send a tag (for example a string) to my server. The server returns the web page corresponding for that tag. Now instead of parsing the received code and display that in forms/canvas i was wondering of i could display the code via a browser ?
thanks

yes thanks. i thought of doing that.
But I read that it might shutdown my midlet on some platforms.
When the browser is started , does it put my midlet in pause state otherwise?
Or is it possible to have the midlet running in background? I want to be able to interact with the midlet even if the browser is running
cheers
seb
