Java Mobile Orbiter

Introduction

The JavaMO is a lightweight Mobile Orbiter client. It receives rendered pictures from the Bluetooth dongle Orbiter and sends keystrokes back. The protocol used over Bluetooth is BD.

JavaMO is under active development. An alpha version can be found on the charonmedia svn tree.

Installation

For most phones you need the jad and the jar file. Copy both to the phone and select the jad from the file or application manager.

Classes

The JavaMO consists of multiple java classes:

• BDCommand
• BDCommandProcessor
• JavaMO
• SerializeClass
• BTServer

Compilation

Preparations

Checkout

Checkout the source from the charonmedia.org svn tree:

svn co http://svn.charonmedia.org/home/hari/javamo
cd javamo

Installing Java

First we install the Java SDK. I used version 6 update 6. Download it from the sun download center. Also get the wireless toolkit version 2.5.2.

chmod +x ./jdk-6u6-linux-i586.bin
./jdk-6u6-linux-i586.bin

That gives us the directory "jdk1.6.0_06". Now install the wireless toolkit:

./sun_java_wireless_toolkit-2_5_2-linux.bin

Specify the _full_ path to the "jdk1.6.0_06/bin" directory (this example assumes javamo was checked out to "/home/hari/src/javamo"):

Enter a path to the Java 2 SDK: /home/hari/src/javamo/jdk1.6.0_06/bin

After the installation you should have the following subdirectories in the javamo directory:

• jdk1.6.0_06
• WTK2.5.2

Building the application

just run make:

./make
