Prerequisites
You need the following to develop and test this MIDlet:
Series 40 5th Edition Feature Pack 1 SDK or newer
Series 40 5th Edition Feature Pack 1 device or newer
You also need to set up the resources on an Internet server from where the MIDlet can download them. When you test the MIDlet in an emulator, you may need to configure your firewall or Internet settings to allow access to the server. Another option is to use your local workstation as a web server, for example by using Apache HTTP Server, and load the resources from there.
