Hi! I need help for a school project. The idea of the project is that users can upload a map (an image), supply the necessary information (to be stored in a database), so that other users can download the map and view it on their mobile phones. Example, the users can select which map to download and run on their phones.
I was wondering if you have any ideas/suggestions on how best to do this project.
Many thanks in advance...
The desktop should only allow map editors to upload a map and supply map information. I was wondering if it's possible for the desktop application (made from regular java) to generate a midlet (made from Java ME?) so that the generated jar/jad file could be run on mobile phones.
What I'm trying to do is like this project: http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/pubs/ug/2005/co600/mobimap/Technical%20Report.pdf
except that users can choose which map to run on their phones from maps that other users uploaded on the desktop.
I think you are complicating things a little. I don't know why you say that a server should generate your client application which could be then downloaded by your clients. You should build the client and server side application separately, make the client send the image to the server using maybe http, and then other clients can download the image from the server.
You can find tutorials and articles regarding http communication between j2me application and server.
