Ski News

I wrote an application for the companies BlueConcept and Unlimited Distribution . This application is distributed over SMS in Argentinian Ski Center. With the application you can download weather information, maps and general information of the Ski Center. On the site Movilsur (Spanish content) there is some comercial information about the project.


A technical challenge in this project was to adapt the graphics of the application to the different screen sizes, I used some algorithms described on this blog to do that.


On this video you can see the application running on 4 different cell phones: Sony Ericsson z310, Motorola L7, BlackBerry and Nokia n95.

How to Fit an Image to the Screen Size

If we want to use an image as background in a J2ME application, we have the problem that we must to have one image for each different size screen. Another approach is to have only one image and fit it to all screen sizes.

In this article I will describe an algorithm to do that.

Forum Nokia Wiki

The Forum Nokia Wiki is a very powerful site with a lot of good examples. I found some ones very interesting:

How to – Fade Algorithms (2)

This is the second article about fade algorithms. In the first article I described the basic algorithm, now I will to introduce you to some advance effects we can do with this basic algorithm.

How to – Fade Algorithms (1)

I have to developed some fade algorithms to get more user friendly applications.
I used this algorithms to create nice backgrounds and menus.
I will post some articles that describe how to use it, this is the first one.

How To – Send SMS Messages

On this post I will explain how to send a short message text (SMS) in only 4 steps.

Bluetooth Proximity Marketing Demo 2

This another demostration of the project I am working rigth now.

I developed a Bluetooth Proximity Marketing Software that send content to Bluetooth device on the coverage area, this is a J2SE application and runs over Ubuntu.

On the video you can watch the sofware running on a Eee PC Asus and sending an image to a mobile device.

 

Bluetooth Proximity Marketing Demo

This a little demostration of the project I am working rigth now.

I developed a Bluetooth Proximity Marketing Software that send content to Bluetooth device on the coverage area, this is a J2SE application and runs over Ubuntu. I developed a J2ME application too that interact with this server, in this application you can select what content download to the mobile device. You can get any kind of content (mp3, video, J2ME applications, JPG, GIF, etc).

On the video you can watch an example of how the mobile application interacts with the server requesting different contents.

Bluetooth APIs

This is a list of bluetooth APIs that I was testing for my bluetooth content sender application
