Example: Creating a blogging MIDlet 2

This example MIDlet shows you how to create and use a Canvas-based UI with text input capabilities. (The MIDlet uses the TextEditor class and TextEditorListener interface of the Nokia UI API.) The MIDlet also demonstrates how to implement XML server communication using HTTP. However, the focus is on the text input capabilities.

The MIDlet is optimized for QWERTY devices with a five-way navigation keypad, such as Nokia C3-00.

The MIDlet is a demo of a WordPress blog administration client, modeled after the WordPress for Nokia application.
