Mobile Information Device Profile - Limitations of MIDP 1.0

Limitations of MIDP 1.0

  • MIDP 1.0 has no active rendering APIs
  • MIDP 1.0 has no support for direct access to image pixels (RGB data)
  • MIDP 1.0 has no support for full screen mode
  • MIDP 1.0 has no support for audio.
  • MIDP 1.0 requires only HTTP support.
  • MIDP 1.0 cannot query key status (although key events are supported)
  • The specifications are not always clear, leading to differences in implementations.

Some limitations may be avoided by using a vendor-specific API or MIDP 2.0, which obviously reduces the portability of the application.
