Please help new to Java
I am trying to use either Netbeans or Wireless Toolkit WITH a Motorola SDK for my i415 Motorola Cell phone. I have Netbeans installed, WTK 2.5.1 installed, and the SDK from Motorola. I have gotten WTK working and downloaded simple Helloworld java to my phone successfully.
I want to use a class in the Motorola SDK called "StatusManager.class" It will get me the battery level, signal streght, and some other system things. I need to know how to use this with a simple midlet. IE; where to put the StatusManager.class file or call it? I am lost here. At least if someone would be nice enough to point me in the right direction, maybe I can figure it out...
Thanks

it depends if this class needs other class from the MOTOW sdk...best way is to add the MOTOW package in your MIDlet suite...

Ok, I see this in Netbeans (properties / libraries & resources / add jar/zip). But I can't find too many .JAR files in the MOTO iden SDK directories. There are LOTS of .CLASS files tho. I am still lost. I see in device/i730/Emulator.jar & DebugAgent.jar.... And in bin/ Cofig.jar, default.jar, projectManager.jar Should I be finding StatusManager.jar somewhere instead of StausManager.class?

sorry i don't use Netbeans with MOTO sdk (in fact i'm using eclipse with eclipseme...)
i think that status class is in the midp or cldc jar from MOTO so you have to import it (or them)
and compile these jar (and without sun midp or cldc jar)
if you are always blocked, try this:

Hi
Ok, I think I might be getting closer.
I gave up on Netbeans & WTK and just using MOTO iden SDK to build the Midlet.
I found that things like "Alert" and Textbox" "Form" are in directorys and are CLASS files. That make sense? So, I found that the StatusManager class is in
"import com.mot.iden.device.*;"
I get one error when I try to build the Midlet. I just don't think my syntax is correct, or the way I am writing the code. I am sure this is simple, but I am new to all this.
Here's my simple JAVA:
/*
/*
* Battery.java
*
* Created on June 18, 2007, 10:37 AM
*/
import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
import com.mot.iden.device.*;
/**
*
* @author gko
* @version
*/
public class Battery extends MIDlet {
public void startApp() {
Object batt;
batt = getStatus(int BATTERY_LEVEL);
}
public void pauseApp() {
}
public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) {
}
}
And the error when I build is:
C:\0-idenjdk-0\rsc\Battery.java:19: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable BATTERY_LEVEL
location: class Battery
batt = getStatus(BATTERY_LEVEL);
^
1 error
Building over
Can you see the problem here?
Do I need to setup a variable?

This is the value passed to the status manager to retrive the battery levels
The return value is in the range of [0 - 3] with 0 being no charge and 3 being a full battery.
BATTERY_LEVEL has a value of 0

Hi k711
I'm also new, but can I try to help?
Try changing your code to
===================
int batt;
batt = StatusManager.getStatus(0);
===================
OR
===================
int batt;
batt = StatusManager.getStatus(StatusManager.BATTERY_LEVEL);
===================
Do let me know if this works, I also have a Motorola and am downloading the SDK right now.
