J2ME - Java Micro Edition
May 2008, by Crovy

In this section we present a few simple programs for the Java Platform Micro Edition, also called J2ME.

These programs are also called "MIDLET".

The J2ME platform to run Java programs on their mobile phone or handheld devices labeled "CLDC"Connected Limited Device Configuration.

For this programs is not currently a manual.

Unless differently indicated, all programs are presented in accordance with the configuration "MicroEdition-Configuration: CLDC-1.0" and the profile "MicroEdition-Profile: MIDP-1.0"

To install the programs on your phone, there are two possibilities:

  • Download program with your computer, unpack from zip, and then transfer on mobile via data cable, bluetooth or IRDA.

    Files from trensfer are two, with an extension "jar" is the program itself, others with extension "jad" which is the file headers (software version, etc. name manufacturer.), which will then selected on the phone to make the correct installation;
  • Using the data connection mobile (GSM, GPRS or UMTS) to download the program, obviously paid in this way data traffic needed to download the application.

    You have to start the browser of your mobile phone and type the address http://www.javahouse.altervista.org/j2me, you will see a simple web page with the list of applications that you can download, select the one you want and then confirm what we proposed.

    If not properly displayed web page, typed directly address that you will find information in each program;

If your phone does not support Java Micro Edition, or if you just do not want to use your phone to make tests, you can download the free program MicroEmulator, that lets you try on your PC all programs for the Java Platform Micro Edition.

All screens example of presenting programs that are made using this product.

Currently version 2.0.1 work needs to be installed on the PC Java version 1.4 or higher.

Once unpacked file downloaded double click on the file "microemulator.jar" to start the simulator.

Now you can also try these programs in our demonstration page directly from the browser!

JcMeTelevideo Version 1.0
April 2011, by Crovy

This program allows you to see the Italian RAI teletext pages very quickly and with a limited exchange of data. Obviously requires a data connection.

The program is available only in Italian language.

Operation is very simple. Just start the program displays a warning about the data connection, we must continue to accept the stipulation that the undersigned disclaims any liability relating to the cost of the connection.

Once you accept the clause is the main screen from which you can access the following features and options:

  • Edizione (Edition) - to choose whether to display the national or regional teletext edition (national edition is proposed);
  • Pagina (Page) - to indicate a page to view (page 100 is proposed, which is the teletext index);
  • Sottopagina (Subpage) - to indicate which subpage (subpage 1 is proposed);
  • Menu keys - through the key, or keys, menus can be accessed (Depending on the type of mobile phone):
    • Visualizza (View) - to see the page previously indicated;
    • Informazioni (Information) - to see a small help page;
    • Esci (Exit) - to abandon the program;


Keep in mind that the connection starts (you are asked permission) when you are prompted to view the first page and ends when you exit the program.

So if for example you have a contract in time with sessions of 15 minutes you can stay connected for 15 minutes (and display many pages) the cost of a single connection.

Before using this program evaluated the kind of contract applied to your telephone number in order to avoid unpleasant surprises!



The operation is very simple:

  • set the edition to view;
  • set the page to view;
  • set the subpage to view;
  • press the button associated with the command Visualizza (View) or select the menu item Visualizza (View) (this depends on the type of phone);
  • If there isn't errors (unstable data connection and/or invalid page) the page that you have chosen is displayed. From here you can do the following:
    • with keys ARROWS move the page to be able to see the whole (if the screen is smaller than the teletext page). For phones with touch screen works the moving fingers (drag);
    • holding a key ARROW moves the image at the beginning or the end (both vertically and horizontally) without intermediate steps.
    • Press any other key to return to the INPUT screen where select the page to display. For phones with touch screen just do a touch anywhere on the screen (without the drag);

JcMeTrisBT Version 1.0
September 2009, by Crovy

This program is the classic Trig game, also called Tic-Tac-Toe.

Is played on a square grid of 3×3 boxes. In turn, players choose an empty cell and will draw its own symbol (usually a player has the symbol "X" and the other a circle). The first player to get three pieces in a row (vertically, horizontally, or diagonally) is the winner. If the grid is filled without any of the players managed to complete a straight line of three symbols, the game ends in a draw.

The main feature is that you can play in two, everyone on your phone, using BlueTooth to communicate the moves!

Operation is very simple. Once started the program displays a menu with the following items:

  • Start Local Game - to start the game, without Bluetooth connection, by this way two players can play alternately on the some phone;
  • Start BT Server - to start the game, with Bluetooth connection, in Server mode (first player);
  • Start BT Client - to start the game, with Bluetooth connection, in Client mode (second player);
  • BT Search - to search the BlueTooth enabled devices.;


Warning! To play using Bluetooth, a player must start the game in SERVER mode and the other player in the CLIENT mode.



This sequence of images shows how to start the game using Bluetooth and some phases of play.

JcMeChrono Version 1.1
September 2009, by Crovy

This program allows you to turn your phone into a stopwatch that can save well 99 times for 9 competitors!

The main features are:

  • timing of 99 times for 9 competitors;

  • reading from files of previous timing sessions;
  • simultaneous departure of all nine competitors;
  • distinct departure for each competitor;
  • setting the distance from timing in order to calculate the speed;
  • timing mode for a single competitor to display more information;

  • analysis of all times stored when the iming session is closed;


The use is very simple. When you start the program displays a menu with the following items:

  • RUN - to start a new session of timing, but first we must set some parameters:
    • the measure of distance in meters by timing, as default is proposed 1000 metres;
    • many competitors (default) or single competitor to display more information during the session timing;

      And if you end the session the last time saved is the reference for the total time STOP;
    • the information displayed are as follows (if not see all nine competitors can scroll through the list pressing "up/down arrow" of phone, this depends on the resolution of the screen of your phone):
      • total time from the start of the timing session;
      • absolute best time with the following data:
        • number of competitor (from one to nine);
        • time;
        • at which lap;
        • average speed in km/h;
      • absolute worst time with the same data viewed for the best time;
      • for each competitor:
        • number of competitor. It is also designed a little red and/or green square when the competitor in question holds the best and/or worst absolute time;

    • just start viewing mode change and for each lap you have to press zero, or the "fire/confirmation" in order to record the time of competitor SPLIT;

      And if you end the session the last time saved is the reference for the total time STOP;
    • the information displayed are as follows:
      • time of last lap;
      • total time from the starting of the timing session;
      • best time with the following data:
