[Developing] Samsung Native Text Input

The Samsung Mobile Innovator Knowledge Base has been established to provide you with technical support, expert knowledge, and a range of useful information on how you can develop your applications and services using Samsung specific features and APIs.

The Knowledge Base lets you find the information you need by searching in categories organized by topic. If you want to look around, use the descriptions below (the descriptions of menu tabs) to help you find your starting point.

The latest Samsung phones are loaded with the latest JSRs to serve wide range of Samsung handsets. Most of the Samsung phones have a distinctive look and feel for Java to match native look and feel.

While creating your own applications, ensure the compatibility by following simple device specifications. This describes various JSRs available in Samsung handhelds.

You can also access selected Samsung phones remotely using Lab.dev, Samsung's virtual device lab where you can conduct your own applications testing on production hardware.

You can also enhance your applications while running on Samsung phones by taking advantage of JSRs and Samsung custom APIs that enable the access to unique phone features and with maximum portability.

Every resource in Samsung Mobile Innovator aims to help you develop efficient mobile applications for Samsung phones.

The resource you will find in Samsung Mobile Innovator are for everyone from novice to expert developers, and also for those developers who are new to Samsung phones mobile development.

Getting Started

Getting Started contains everything you need to get started developing games and applications on the Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) using the Samsung SDK. You will learn:

the features of the Samsung SDK
how to set up the Java ME environment
how to install Samsung SDK
how to run sample applications using the Samsung SDK, and
how to integrate the Samsung SDK with IDE.

The Samsung SDK is aimed at everyone, from novice to expert mobile Java developers.

The latest Samsung SDK 1.1 for the Java ME platform provides developers with a range of new features to build powerful Java ME applications. The Samsung SDK is the perfect place to begin your mobile application development. So download the latest Samsung SDK 1.1 for the Java ME platform and start developing your mobile applications.

Developing

Developing provides you with other resources and development tools needed for mobile application development in addition to the Samsung SDK.

This section will help you understand Java ME; its basics and architecture. It also covers the development tools (with built-in Java ME support) required to create, build, debug, and test your mobile applications.

Developer Essentials

For a novice Java ME developer, Developer Essentials is the best place to get started. You will discover the development tools required for developing efficient mobile applications for Samsung devices.
