LAUNCHING AN MIDP-BASED TARGET APPLICATION FROM A LAUNCHER APPLICATION

摘要

A method for launching a target application from a launcher application, said target application being an MIDP-based application, and both the target application and the launcher application being installed within a device having a Symbian operating system. The method comprises: the target application registering the launcher application in a Push Registry of the MIDP as an application allowed to have incoming connection, said registration including at least a port number for the incoming connection; the launcher application sending a request to the target application to open a TCP connection via the port defined in said registration; checking from the Push Registry that the launcher application is allowed to open the TCP connection to the target application; and if allowed by the Push Registry, opening a TCP connection between the target application and the launcher application.
