J2me Error

You have a mistake on line 17.

(Post code and maybe someone can help you. Include your .jad file.)

how did you know it was line 17 with the error above? i never figured it out.

Where is the .jad file located? I have the .jar but cant find the .jad.
Here is the code:

import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;import javax.microedition.midlet.*;  class HelloMIDlet    extends MIDlet     implements CommandListener {  private Form mMainForm;  public TextField textb;    public HelloMIDlet() { 	textb = new TextField("HelloMIDlet:","Isiah",10,TextField.ANY);    mMainForm = new Form("HelloMIDlet");    mMainForm.append(new StringItem(null, "Hello, MIDP!"));    mMainForm.append(textb);    mMainForm.addCommand(new Command("Exit", Command.EXIT, 0));    mMainForm.setCommandListener(this);  }    public void startApp() {    Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(mMainForm);  }    public void pauseApp() {}    public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) {}    public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable s) {    notifyDestroyed();  }}

I didn't, I was attempting to point out that there was no way anyone could solve the OP's problem without more code/details. My post is what I attempt to pass off as humour :-)

Back on topic, I dont see anything wrong with your code. Are you using some IDE to build your code? If not I suggest you try something like NetBeans as it will make your life a lot simpler.

The JAD file is a simple text file that contains meta-data about the JAR. Things like the name of the JAR, the size, the icon for the application and some other stuff. Its not essential while you are testing on an emulator. A google search for "lj2me JAD" should turn up a ton of information.

This is just a guess, but it looks like the emulator is having some troubles starting up. I'd try to investigate things like not running with administrator privileges, trying to access files in directories you don't have permissions for, etc. It might also help trying to remove and reinstall the emulator.

When I ran it in the NetBean compilier it said these imports dont exist. How do I get the compilier to recongize the imports?

import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;

import javax.microedition.midlet.*;

My apologies, I should have pointed out that to write J2ME apps in NetBeans you have to get the Mobility add on pack. Its available from the same page you downloaded NetBeans the first time. For what its worth, it really is worth getting something like NetBeans working, it will save you a ton of time and effort later on.

Alan

I did download the mobility pack. When I open a template its seems to reconize the libraries, but when i go to file and open my file it says it the libraries don't exist.
