Midlet-browser interaction

Question

Is there anyway to interact between a phone's browser and a midlet? As far as I understand it they both run in different sand box and except if using platform specific api communication between midlet and native apps is not possible.

Answer 1

You are right, there is no cross-platform API for interacting with the browser on the device. On Nokia Symbian devices you can use the eSWT Browser widget to embed the platform's browser inside the midlet and have some limited interaction with it through the eSWT Browser APIs.
