hi,
I Want to use http connection to download an image from server for this i dont want to show any GUI to the user.
i am invoking the application using pushregistry while it is not active.
so my dought here is whether we can use the network operations internally with out showing any GUI to the user.

Regards,
basu.

IMHO you can do it without any problems, since the J2ME application must only extend the MIDlet class, and implement its methods startApp(), pauseApp() and destroyApp(). The only thing to do is just to put networking code into a thread.

hi,

i did it and texted in emulator it shows a white screen and not getting exit from the application.
means when i run it through OTA.
does the same behaviour occurs in mobile also.
Is there anything more i have to do.

I guess the only way to test it is try running on a real device. Some mobile phones are really showing an empty white screen, and also adding the Exit command (like Sony Ericsson), but a midlet without GUI is a tricky thing.

If also the networking code takes place in application, it would be a more polite way to explain the user what's going on through a minimalistic GUI, because downloading take time, especially in real-world networks.
