j2me touch gui looking like android

i would like to remake a program i made for android in android it looks pretty nice and is very touch friendly

now i need to make it for symbian what would be the best approach to achieve similar graphics and functionality

i tried searching in j2me but the graphics look so very outdated :(

here are some screens of the android interface http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j74/bertyhell/krist/datacheck.png http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j74/bertyhell/krist/datacheck1.png

i just need to make sure the buttons are big enough and that scrolling can be done with hand gestures

any suggestions?

LWUIT is very themeable, so you can make things look pretty much anything you want. Adding padding/margins is simple.

Have a look through this blog http://lwuit.blogspot.com/ by one of the LWUIT developers.

There is not a good way.

  • You can solve buttons by CustomItem as BlaXpirit mentioned.
  • You can use Canvas and implement it or your own, but text editing will not be comfortable: if you want inline text editing, it can't support builtin T9, copy&paste and so on unless you are using MIDP 3.0. I don't know any device that supports MIDP 3.0.
  • You can look for a GUI framework instead of implementing it on your own.

There is no simple way to do it.
I think you have to implement the "look" by yourself. And this is very, very, very difficult.

Suggestions? Learn J2ME programming, particularly Canvas. Or, what is best, don't try to achieve this. Just use J2ME's Forms
