Summary
Well done! You have mastered the most complex part of J2ME Polish—the user interface. You have now learned how you can program, control, and design the GUI for creating truly professional applications. Just to repeat the main lessons: you program the GUI just like the normal javax.microedition.lcdui API, but you need to ensure that you use proper import statements. For controlling the GUI, you can set various preprocessing variables in your project’s build.xml file. Last but not least, you can design the user interface outside the application code with the resources/polish.css file.
In the next chapter, you will finish the J2ME Polish part of this book by learning how you can extend this framework. J2ME Polish contains various hooks so that you can extend it quite easily, whether you want to add your own preprocessor or your own GUI background.
