Hi,

I writing a financial midlet and I'd like to graph some expenses. I tried the MicroGraph application but I'd prefer to do the graphs without connecting to the internet. Do you know of any other tools or tutorials that would help me out here?

Also I want to display the applications logo for a few seconds before going to the menu screen, is it possible to do this without having the user click "Ok" as they would if I use an Alert to display it. Should I use a timed thread or something?

Thanks for your help!

1. graph:
I don't know any MIDP compatible chart tool, but it isn't mean that there is no such a thing. If you don't find try to write it yourself.

2. splash:
Of course you can show a splash screen like this:

public void startApp() {
  if (display == null) {display = Display.getDisplay(this);}
  if (first) {
    showSplash();
    long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
    initApplication();
    long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
    if ( (endTime - startTime) < 3000 ) {
      try {
        synchronized (this) {wait(endTime - startTime);}
      } catch (Throwable t) {
      } // end try
    } // end if
  } // end if
  first = false;
  display.setCurrent(myMenu);
} // end startApp()

private void showSplash() {
  // isn't described
}

private void initApplication() {
  // isn't described
}
