Example
We'll develop a very simple 3D application that rotates a polygon. The polygon is a cube and its texture is a photo of an old car. Listing 1 shows the midlet's main class—the central class of the application. It creates the application and sets the timer to run MyCanvas.
Listing 1. MIDletMain class
import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
import java.util.*;
public class MIDletMain extends MIDlet {
static MIDletMain midlet;
MyCanvas d = new MyCanvas();
Timer iTimer = new Timer();
public MIDletMain() {
this.midlet = this;
}
public void startApp() {
Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(d);
iTimer.schedule( new MyTimerTask(), 0, 40 );
}
public void pauseApp() {
}
public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) {
}
public static void quitApp() {
midlet.destroyApp(true);
midlet.notifyDestroyed();
midlet = null;
}
class MyTimerTask extends TimerTask {
public void run() {
if( d != null ) {
d.repaint();
}
}
}
}
Listing 2 shows the MyCanvas class, which contains all the graphical logic of the application. In init() method the vertices are created, the texture file is loaded, and the texture is set. The appearance and the background are also set. The paint() method paints and rotates the cube. The Figure 1 shows the actual application running in an emulator.
