CrowdScapes Code
My thesis, tentatively named CrowdScapes, is moving along and i’m learning a lot in the process. At first I was using MPowerPlayer to test out my code but although it ran fine in the emulator, it didn’t really do anything on an actual phone. Didn’t work on the N80 or the SLVR. So I finally tried the same code on the Sun Wireless Toolkit Emulator and guess what, it didn’t run. There were a number of errors with thread blocking and an odd situation where a string was getting padded with a bunch of spaces. After fixing those so my code ran in the WTK2.5 Beta 2, my code still didn’t run on my N80 so I downloaded the Nokia 3rd Edition emulator (see left, click for larger image) and my code looks to work ok on that. Maybe it’s just late, i’ll try it on the phone again tomorrow. The emulators are pretty funny. Although you’re on a pc with a full keyboard, you’re still required to SMS in your content. I guess it’s good to eat your own dog food. Let’s hear it for improved interfaces.
Update: It kind of works on the 6680 but not the N80. Huzzah.
