Hello Every1,

I want to code a program for my Symbian OS mobile phone.
I do not know Java but C#. I heard Java and C# are pretty similar and the program I want to code is pretty easy one so I think I can handle that.

But the trouble is that I have no idea how to run the program I code by Java language in my mobile phone.

What do my steps should be from the beginning to end?

Hello, I'm not sure how others do it, but i use NetBeans for java development. You might need to get the mobile sdk from Sun. Then it is quite easy, start the ide and create a new mobile project. Netbeans has a flow designer, where you simply drag&drop items and relations. And as for the similarity, if you know C# that'll do. They are similar enough to understand, if not, the intellisense is still there to help you out. You can check videos on youtube.

About the running them on your phone part, when you build the project, you get a "dist" folder, which contains a jar file. You just install that jar on the phone and thats all. However, there are some settings, java may be universal, but not all the phones are the same.

I can't give you more than this, i highly suggest watching some tutorials.
