Changes between platform releases

The following tables provide information about the Nokia UI API version implementations in the Series 40 and Symbian platforms. The Java Developer's Library includes the specification for the latest Nokia UI API version supported by either platform. For older versions of the Nokia UI API specification, see Java API Specifications on Nokia Developer.

To determine the supported Nokia UI API version on a device, use the com.nokia.mid.ui.version system property.

Note: The com.nokia.mid.ui.version system property is not supported by Series 40 devices with Java Runtime 1.0.0 for Series 40 or earlier, so you cannot programmatically determine the Nokia UI API version on these devices. Moreover, unlike the Symbian platform, the Series 40 platform does not fully follow the Nokia UI API specification until Java Runtime 2.0.0 for Series 40 and Nokia UI API 1.6.

To find out which Nokia UI API version is supported on a specific device model, see Nokia Developer device specifications.
