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).

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.
