Java client on K700i?

Hi,
I've successfully select my SE K700i in Salling clicker for Windows.
I have copied the client jar to my programs folder on the phone.
When I start the client MIDP app and select 'Connect' I get an error message saying:
[b]Cannot connect[/b]
Device inquire failed

What does that mean? Is it a Bluetooth message or application level message?

P.S. What does work fine though, is accessing the clicker trough "Accessories"
but this only gives me text based (=ugly) interface. And only allows me to play/pause D.S.

Thanks for a (when I get it working) great product

Hi!

Your phone does not (and cannot) support the MIDP app. Glad to hear that the supported method is working as it should, though! :-)

Best.

Uh?
If I don't use the MIDP client what should I use?
Are you saying that all I get for 250:- SEK, is a
text based display of currently playing song.
plus the ability to pause/play and skip track??

I get the impression from both the http://www.salling.com/Clicker/windows/
page and the help package that I'll get a iTunes/Mac look-and-feel
with functionality like viewing cover art, browsing playlists etc.

I really hope I'm wrong...

Oh! sorry, just saw that you actually don't support graphics for my phone in the "supported devices" list.
Well too bad. looks like I just threw my money away.

Will you ever support graphics for the K700 ?
What do you mean by that it cannot use the MIDP?

Sorry for not being specific in about the MIDP statment.

The K700 lacks the Bluetooth "APIs" in Java. Hence, a Java app cannot use Bluetooth. So we have to use the Sony Ericsson accessory UI features instead.

I suggest you give the app a chance. Try pressing the right softkey, while in the iTunes controller, for instance.

Best.
