LWUIT is the easy way to make sure your application has the Series 40 platform look and feel, no matter if you are designing for full touch, touch and type or non-touch. In most cases, creating a single application source and compiling it once is sufficient – your application runs on all Series 40 UI styles.
Faster and more efficient development; more complete UI library.
Support for cross-platform development; application logic is separated from the UI layer, so changing only the UI layer is often enough to hit a variety of platforms.
Support for customization – better support for different UI layouts, components, and transitions.
LWUIT provides a counterpart for all Series 40 LCDUI elements, some with improved user experience. In addition, there is a wide range of other components you can use. All LWUIT components are also easy to customize. The full touch theme supports both portrait and landscape orientations.
Note: LWUIT applications are drawn on Canvas. Therefore it is not possible to mix LWUIT and LCDUI components in a view. An exception is the Category bar for full touch; it’s possible to use Category bar also on Canvas-based screens.
