Design

The MIDlet allows you to view all the demonstrations of different UI elements and element properties that eSWT offers. The following figure shows the main view of the MIDlet and examples of specific UI element demo views.

Figure: MIDlet main view and two demo views

The main view of the MIDlet consists of a menu that lists all the available elements. When the user selects an element from the menu, the MIDlet calls the class showcasing that element and a demo of the element is displayed.

The MIDlet consists of the following main classes:

• eSWTShowcase—MIDlet main class, which creates and runs a new MainMenuScreen object.

• MainMenuScreen—Handles the main menu, and its init method creates the list of elements to showcase.

• DemoModuleListBoxItem—Extends ListBoxItem and is used to hold the element demo modules. The class constructor takes the demo module as a parameter, and the runDemo method calls the module's runDemo method.

• DemoModule and DemoModuleGroup—The DemoModule interface is implemented by all the classes that display element demos. The DemoModuleGroup class is used to group together individual element demos.

• SWTMIDlet and UIThreadSupportWrapper—Helper classes used in conjunction with eSWT. For more information, see section Example: Creating a simple eSWT MIDlet.
