If your requirement is to install the binaries from within your midlet, there is a solution available in MIDP 2.0 which is platformRequest(). This enables your midlet to invoke the services related to downloading and installing binaries.

For more information checkout the following link;

Hi Vassili,
Well, i thought any one who is acquainted with JME, would know what AMS means.

Hi Anuradha,
Am using the platformRequest currently, but the problem is that in few devices it exits the application and takes me out of the app.
I want to handle that exit app from the app, while the binaries are being installed.

That is because those platform does not support concurrent programming. Therefore the program needs to exit before the service request is addressed.

I could not find a solution for this yet. Will keep you updated if I do. Please put a post if you find a solution for this beforehand.

Hi Prerit,

please try the following,
After calling the platformRequest() method, put a sleep() of 500 or 1000 milliseconds. So the binaries can be installed, And then you call destroyApp() from there.

i have faced the above issue once, and this approach worked for me..
