Slideshow Midlet
astrient • Apr 30, 2007 • 1700

Changing images every few seconds, the Slideshow application displays random images that match a given keyword. Images are not permanently stored on the device. Rather, they are cached and removed as new images are downloaded. The result is an endless slideshow of images that match the user's interest.

How it works

1) The user selects a keyword.
2) Application connects to image server and asks for an image that matches the keyword.
3) The server searches for image matches and returns 1 jpeg encoded image.
4) The application saves the image in the record store. This process repeats every 30 seconds.
5) The application displays the new image from the record store. New images are displayed every 3-5 seconds.

Device Compatibility

Tested on Siemens S66 device and Nokia Series 60 SDK but should work on all MIDP 2.0 devices. The signed version may not install on devices without a Verisign Root Cert.
