KXML Parse Example

In this section, we will develop a J2ME application to parses the RSS document and then display the data on the mobile screen.

KXML Parse Example

J2ME Kxml Connection Example

     

This is the XML connection example. In this section, we'll develop a J2ME application that a user can connect to the xml file from localhost and print it on the console.

To develop this type of application we have the following steps:

  • create a AddressBook.xml file in root folder of your server with name and address tags.
  • run the server by startup.bat
  • create the MIDlet (AddressDB.java).
  • build the midlet and then run.
  • approve to send and receive the data using network.
  • output display on console.  

AddressBook is a simple XML format that summarizes name and address tags. when the program will executed,AddressBook displays the name and address from the addressbook data on the console.

 

The Entire Application is as follows:
