30 Motorola Secondary Display API

This chapter details the capability for J2ME applications to render content to Motorola devices that feature a secondary display.

Motorola P2K Java ME ™ enabled devices currently support the standard low-level and high-level APIs for UI development for the primary display only. When the focus is removed from the kJava environment by closing the flip (or exiting the environ- ment) the Java ME ™ application cannot display any text or graphical information to the secondary display.

Motorola devices that feature a secondary display will provide the capability to ex- tend application UI to the secondary display.

30.1 Primary Requirements

The first implementation of the Secondary Display API is targeted for the Triplets re- fresh. Supporting Displayable items such as Forms, TextBox, List is not required, al- though design considerations will be made to support these UI features in future re- leases.

The Secondary Display API will provide functionality to access the secondary display:

∙The secondary display API must not support the Displayable sub-class of Screen or Screen’s sub-classes (Form, TextBox, etc.). Screen and its subclasses support high-level layout and input support which is not needed in this version of Secondary Display API.
