Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) is a specification published for the use of Java on embedded devices such as mobile phones and PDAs. MIDP is part of the Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) framework and sits on top of Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC), a set of lower level

Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) 2.0 MIDP, combined with the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC), is the Java runtime environment for today's mobile information devices (MIDs) such as mobile phones and entry level PDAs.

MIDP enables truly networked applications on mobile information devices. To download an MIDP application, the user browses a list of applications stored on a Web server. After an application is selected, the device checks to make sure it can run the application.

The MIDP defines an application model to allow the limited resources of the device to be shared by multiple MIDP applications, or MIDlets. It defines what a MIDlet is, how it is packaged, what runtime environment is available to the MIDlet, and how it should be behave so that the device can manage its resources.

The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is one way, and another is to use Sun Microsystems's Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP). This article is part of a series on wireless applications programming using the MID Profile APIs.

Provides classes that are fundamental to the Java programming language. Contains the collection classes, and the date and time facilities. JSR 118 specification.

The MIDP 2.0 reference implementation (RI) and technology compatibility kit (TCK) can be licensed today for commercial use through Java Partner Engineering. The TCK will be available to Qualified Not-for-Profits and Qualified Individuals for no charge as per Section F.III of the JSPA 2.

In this chapter, we discuss the basic concepts of the MIDP application model, its component pieces and how they fit together to create a fully functional mobile application.

The Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) is a key element of the Java Platform, Mobile Edition (Java ME, formerly called J2ME. When combined with the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC), MIDP provides a standard Java runtime environment for today's most popular mobile information devices, such as cell phones and mainstream ...
