Process ...

[Vassili Vladimir]

Hi,

In J2SE there is a way to fire up processes using the Runtime and Process classes.

Is there an equivalent technique to use in J2ME ?

I have this form of web-page names shown using ChoiceGroup, the thing i want to is that when i click on a choice, it automatically opens that page for me.

I was wondering if i can do that without using the embedded explorer of my cell-phone (using a process that fires up the explorer passing the address of my web-page).

Thanks in advance ...

Technically you can achieve your goal but not by firing "processes":

1-You can use MIDlet.platformRequest(URL) so that the URL is loaded by the phone's brower.
The MIDlet may also have to exit for this to happen (see the Javadoc).

2-If you don't want it done by the phone's browser, you can think of firing a MIDlet in the same MIDlet suit by using Push Registry alarms and some form of indicating the URL to the other MIDlet (eg using RMS will work on any device). See the PushRegistry javadoc and MIDP specs.

Marques /Vladimir,

I dint get what you meant by the second option..

Please explain if possible

[Eduardo Marques]

What I meant was that one can schedule the launch of another MIDlet by using PushRegistry.registerAlarm().
