Cell Phone App - Video Player - Media Demo.	posted: 8/10/10
Simple unfinished demo of a J2ME video app. Need some feed back. Please download and try it out.
Download by setting your cell phone browser to:
	ProgramsPlus.us/code/Java/J2ME/v/video/VPlayer.html or the try the wml version (I don't have a cell phone with Java. Let me know which one works.) http://www.ProgramsPlus.us/code/Java/J2ME/v/video/VPlayer.wml
If your cell phone is Java enabled it will download the app automatically (asking your permission). The file is approximately 22k. Let me know how it works.
Again the challenge here was timing and threads. There's something wrong at Sun. Brilliant minds yet vindictive. Java could have been so great except what appears to be their arrogance and it comes across in their communication and API's. Everybody's an expert I guess. What are you gonna do? They are brilliant though. I would say it takes three or four times longer to program in J2ME than in other programming languages because of misleading concepts in the Java language.


Error checking is the key to Java media apps. Video types may be supported on one device but not another. It's a chore to catch all the errors that may occur or that may be encountered in the future. Here in this app the fun was throwing everything to it's own function. Depending on bandwidth, ideally someone could create colorful images to guide the user through different scenarios and application. Send me a line if you'd like the code to this app.
