This webinar will show you how to incorporate camera and imaging capabilities of the Series 40 platform in your Java™ apps. Michael Samarin of Futurice will begin with an overview of the Advanced Multimedia Supplements API (JSR-234). This API provides interfaces to controls for image capture. In live coding demonstrations, Michael will explain step-by-step processes for including image-capture and video-recording capabilities in the apps. He’ll also demonstrate techniques for post-processing of captured images.

2. Capturing Images on Series 40
• Following JSRs allow developers incorporating and controlling
camera on Series 40:
• Mobile Media API (MM API) (JSR-135)
• Advanced Multimedia Supplements API for J2ME (AMMS API) (JSR-
234)
• Both JSRs are available on all Series 40 devices, but with different
capabilities
• Check Nokia Device Matrix to find out supported features:

3. Documentation and Guides
• Nokia Java Developer’s Library:

5. Camera functionality
• On most of Series 40 only still image capturing is
supported
• AMMS functionality varies a lot
• There is significant differences between emulator and
devices
• Use RDA if you don’t have access to devices

6. Image processing
• Use javax.microedition.lcdui.Image for processing
images obtained from camera
• Most useful methods for accessing pixel data are:
• getRGB(….) and createRGBImage(….)
• Obtaining image data, processing and re-creating new
image
