Getting Java apps On A phone
This little “how to” assumes you are among the millions who who use a windows PC to download the desired java programs and then transfer them to your phone (unless your phone has internal memory the Java apps need to be copied onto a micro SD card (or whatever other memory card your phone uses), which is afterwards placed within into your phone). Also, this article is intended to be a basic overview for all cell phones with java, but will most likely be very handy to folks who ever gotten an unbranded phone manufactured in China.
Step 1. Find out if your phone is enabled to run Java applications. For well known branded phones, such as the iPhone, you should see a Java icon or take some to to do a google search. For non brands, make sure to ask your supplier that the purchased device will be able to use java apps. Step 2. Connect your cell phone to your computer via USB. Following that, you should see a removable drive appear in your “My Computer”, just as if you plugged in a USB stick or DMP (digital media player). If your mobile phone comes with both a memory card and internal memory (often a microSD) you will see two removable drives. Make a new folder inside one of the drives with a little bit of extra memory, and call it “java” (this is just to make sure things nice and clean so you won’t have problems finding your programs later, but it really doesn’t matter what you call it).

Step 1.
Find out if your phone is enabled to run Java applications. For well known branded phones, such as the iPhone, you should see a Java icon or take some to to do a google search. For non brands, make sure to ask your supplier that the purchased device will be able to use java apps.
Step 2.
Connect your cell phone to your computer via USB. Following that, you should see a removable drive appear in your “My Computer”, just as if you plugged in a USB stick or DMP (digital media player). If your mobile phone comes with both a memory card and internal memory (often a microSD) you will see two removable drives.
Make a new folder inside one of the drives with a little bit of extra memory, and call it “java” (this is just to make sure things nice and clean so you won’t have problems finding your programs later, but it really doesn’t matter what you call it).
Step 3.
Find a java app you like. I advice this site.
http://getjar.com/
They have a nice selection of apps, and you are able to narrow your desired choice by phone platform or manufacturer for fast choices. I would recommend Java Generic, because it commonly should work on almost any mobile.
After you have chosen the java app you like, download it, being careful however, that what you download is a .jar extenstion
Step 4.
After you have finished downloading the app, you should find a file that is zipped. No need to unzip this file. All that is needed is to click and drag zipped app from your PC to your mobile using a USB cable (remember step 2? Handy to have made a folder already called java, not true?)
Step 5.
Unplug your phone from the pc, go to your phones file manager and look around for your folder named java. Open it, and you will see your java app. Choose it, and add the program. Following this, the phone will install automatically and inform you when and if the installation had no problems.
Step 6.
Navigate to the program on your cell that runs Java apps, browse to your downloaded application, and enjoy.
That’s really it. Be forewarned that not each program will work with each phone model, or might just not work as desired. I suggest you try no pay programs, or for payed java programs, looking around for a free trial version if possible. If there are problems, then you really haven’t lost anything. Also take care that java apps can do so things more than only play time wasting games. Some of the best ones can give everything from better and fancier media players, to office tools.

Java Developersâ?? guide for application development with Linux
As know in the Java Developers community, Java is a platform independent object oriented language which runs on every platform. That is why it is said for Java that “Compile once, run anywhere” language.
But when the term “anywhere” had been used, they must have some specific platforms described. If we are running Java Application on Linux then something arise in mind that which context and environment I’m into?
A Java developer new to Linux plat form may wonder about whether or not and if yes then how Java can find the environment on Linux platform? In particular four things to get on Linux platform:
The answer to all these factors varies on different cases like of which kind your Java application would be and how portable you want Java application to be.
The basic external information is supplied by program invocation. It may be simple parameters or arguments. This information can direct a program to flexibility and execution.
Command-Line Arguments
When a program is run from the command line, more than just the program name can be supplied. Here are some examples:
$ javac example.java
$ mv Acct.java core/Account.java
$ ls –l
In the ?rst example, we invoked a program called Javac and gave it the parameter example.java, the name of the ?le containing the Java program that we want Javac to compile to Java byte code The mv got two commandline arguments, Acct.java and core/Account.java, which look a lot like pathnames. The ls command has one argument, -l, which in Linux usually indicates, by its leading minus sign, that it is an option for altering the behavior of the command.
Information for Java Developers on how to execute a Java program on Linux OS platform with the usability of byte codes. Java application development with Linux platform shows the flexibility of a program written in Java language.
