Run Java Applications on Nokia mobile phone by Mike Morgan
The easiest way to install a Java application is to download it via the Internet. This is called Over The Air (OTA) installation. To do this, you need to use your phone's native WAP browser. You can point the browser to a web site that lists mobile Java applications, and then click the download link for the application you want to install. The browser downloads the JAD file and starts the Java Application Management Software (AMS) to process it. The phone prompts you to confirm a series of choices, automatically downloads the JAR file, and takes care of the rest of the installation process. You can purchase or download Java applications from many web sites. Your WAP browser's bookmark section probably already has links to Nokia and your wireless operator's Java application catalog web pages.
In some cases, you might want to install a Java application directly from your PC to the phone. You might have gotten the JAD and JAR files via email, downloaded them manually from a web site, or written them yourself. In those cases, you can use the Nokia PC Suite to install a pair of matching JAD and JAR files directly from your Windows PC to the phone. The Nokia Application Installer program in the PC Suite allows you to choose a JAR file from the local hard drive. Once you click the green arrow to install the JAR file to the phone, the PC Suite searches the directory the JAR file resides in for a matching JAD file of the same name. If such a JAD file is found, the JAD and JAR pair will be installed automatically. If the JAD file is not found, you can install the JAR file by itself (the JAR-only installation).
On Series 60 devices released after 2003 the AMS installs MIDlets as top-level icons in the Main menu. You can move them to other folders as you wish. On older Series 60 devices, Java MIDlets are accessible only via the Games or Apps. icon in the Main menu. For Series 40 devices, you can find installed Java applications under the Applications Collection or Applications Games menu. To start a Java application, simply open it (select it and press the center button on the navigation pad, or press the Options soft key and select Open from the menu that appears).
On newer Series 60 devices, the native Application Manager lists all the user-installed applications. You can navigate to any application and select the Options soft key to bring up the management menu for it. Through this menu, you can delete the application, access its update history, and automatically update the application to a newer version if its download web address is known. Via the Settings menu, you can alter how the application asks for user permissions before performing sensitive actions. For example, you can configure the application to prompt you for confirmation every time it accesses the Internet or sends messages.
