Emulator Options
The emulator has Application, View, and Help menus.
The Application menu is only populated for CLDC and JavaFX platforms. The Application
options are as follows:
|
|
|
AMS Home |
F4 |
Exit the current application and return to the Application
Management Software home. |
Change Locale |
|
This option only works with localized MIDlets. Enter a locale identifier.
The format is similar to Java SE 6, as follows: 2-letter-lang-code separator 2‐letter-country-code For example,
en-US, cs-CZ, zh-CN, ja-JP. The separator can be a dash or an underscore. |
Resume |
F6 |
Resume
a suspended application. |
Suspend |
F5 |
Pause a running application. |
Switch Running MIDlet |
F7 |
When you have multiple MIDlets
running, toggle between them. You see a list of running MIDlets and you
can chose the one you want to view. |
Exit |
|
Close the emulator process and stop
the build process (or processes). |
|
The View menu is available in full to CLDC and JavaFX platforms.
|
|
Always
On Top |
Keeps the emulator in the foreground. This is especially useful when you
are running multiple emulator instances and you want to see them all and
send messages between devices. |
External Events Generator |
The external events generator is a utility for simulating
external file systems or applications communicating with the application running on the emulator.
Inputs can come from a script file on your PC or they can
be injected based on your interaction with a user interface. The external events
generator provides a tab to support JSR implementations that require external event emulation:
File Connection (75), Location (179), Payment (229), and Sensors (256). See FileConnection API, Running the CityGuide Sample Project,
Running JBricks , Using a Mobile Sensor Project. |
Orientation |
Choose a degree of rotation (0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees clockwise
from the 0 position) or, rotate clockwise by 90 degrees from the last
position (F8) or counterclockwise by 90 degrees (F9). On Mac OS, the F9
key is is used to show all applications. To reliably rotate counter-clockwise you
should remap the counterclockwise rotation to a different key. See the topic
Create a Keymap Profile. |
