Tutorial on developing location based services (LBS) using J2ME (java microedition) suitable for portable mobile devices, includes JSR 179 API used in j2me for LBS applications and general user interface (UI) development in j2me. It gets started with general programming structure of j2me codes, develops the foundation for user-interface design in java micro edition and proceeds to describe features in JSR-179, a particular API which is designed to aid LBS programming in java. Examples are provided throughout the tutorial to illustrate the coding techniques... Location Based Services or LBS has attained a special interest in recent years. Although having an obvious need, LBS was limited by technical inefficiencies. With increasing memory, speed and data transfer rates over networks, now it is all set to grab your life sooner or later... Java, the platform-independent ubiquitous medium of rendering computer applications, is a natural choice for developing LBS, as they are likely to run..
