Creating a great user interface for mobile devices Make your application stand out with stunning graphics that look and behave similarly different mobile devicesLog information on application runtime behavior of your programWrite with attractive visual effects such as transitions and localization animationsUse order for your application can adapt to different languages and Local In Detail Writing interesting cross-device applications today in the Java ME implementation is challenging as the differences in fonts, layouts, and menus to make your application look and behave very differently on different devices. So far, the only way out has been low-level programming associated with complexity. The Lightweight UI Toolkit (LWUIT), open-source Java library, offers Java ME developers an easy to use API to create an impressive user interface with device-independent look and feel. LWUIT library contains many components and tools to bring consistency and visual gloss to your application user interface, and this book will take you through all this, to help you get a user interface that you want. Java ME allows us to write applications that, in general, small portable devices that support various platforms. This addition enables application developers to design UIs that can come very close to their desktop counterparts in terms of visual sophistication and LWUIT is not just about a new component well. API supports a variety of new functions (such as Theming and Transitional) as well. This book takes developers through the Java ME libraries, with examples showing how to use key components and functionality. What you will learn from this book? Customize the way of common components appear on the screen to see the unique and feelAdd user interface elements to your application and learn how to use the advanced interface themAssemble style containers, labels, and listsEnhance organization of your interface using layout animations and transitions into applicationCreate managersAdd you a visual theme to ensure coherence in your applicationUse painter and painter chain to draw the background and the pattern of layering with the resources componentsCreate with LWUIT DesignerBuild custom components by extending the Component class Debug applications using Log class Approach This book presents the LWUIT through an optimal mix between theory and practice. The book also presents the underlying structural features of LWUIT is important to use the API skilled Who is this book written for? This book is for Java ME developers who wanted to create an attractive user interface for the Java ME application, and want to use LWUIT to make this happen
