Running a J2SE Canvas as a J2ME Midlet - Java

Question

I have created a Space Invaders Game using an example game + source. Using the existing source I have spent 3 days coding the game and spent 4 days trying to get it to run on a mobile phone.

The runnable jar file works on my PC but not on a mobile phone.

• Is there any way I can convert my canvas application to a J2ME Mobile application without recoding everything?
• Any way i can just alter the manifest file to make it work?
• Add a "j2me container for the j2se application" to make it work?
• OR any other solutions?

Answer 1

You can't run J2SE applications on mobile phones that only support J2ME. It is also not easy to port such an application to J2ME because Canvas in MIDP is different and very limited.
