UI and graphics

This section describes how to design user interfaces with the MIDP 2.1 (JSR-118) API and its extensions. The guide also provides links to several step-by-step guides to help you to build example MIDlets that demonstrate different aspects and capabilities of the various APIs you can use to design user interfaces and graphics/animation for applications.

• User interfaces in Java ME
• LCDUI
• eSWT
• Touch UI
• Nokia UI API
• MIDP 2.0 games
  This developer's guide introduces MIDP 2.0 Game API features and presents a step-by-step tutorial for building an example using the API.
• Mobile 3D graphics
  This developer's guide describes the using 3D graphics in mobile applications. It also provides a step-by-step tutorial for an example 3-D game built using the Mobile 3-D Graphics API (M3G) as defined in JSR-184.
• Scalable 2D vector graphics
  This API concerns scalable 2D vector graphics. It's goal is to define an optional package for rendering scalable 2D vector images, including external images and animation in SVG format. It is targeted for mobile devices with constraints in memory, screen size, and computational power. This developer's guide describes the concept of Scalable 2D Vector Graphics (SVG) as used by the Scalable 2D Vector Graphics (JSR-226), or M2G for short, API. The developer's guide also provides a step-by-step tutorial to help you to build three MIDlets that demonstrate the graphic and animation capabilities of the M2G API.
