Deploying applications to mobile devices

To deploy the application to a mobile device, we recommend that you first test it in MTJ's emulator for the particular project. Then you should sign the application. Most mobile devices will return an error message if you try to deployed unsigned applications to them. Also, make sure that you have edited the JAD file and the manifest file to contain the correct information about the JAR file.

To deploy an application

Confirm that the mobile device is connected to your computer before deployment.

Note: At the moment, MTJ supports Nokia PC suite 6.8 as the deployment tool. You do not have to configure it for MTJ, but naturally you need to have it installed on your computer.

1. In the menu bar, select MTJ -> Deploy.
   The Deploy resource window opens.
   
   
   
   
   Tip: You can also use the toolbar's shortcut (the mobile device button) to open the Deploy resource window.
    

2. To select the resource to deploy, in the Resource field, select Browse and browse to the resource to be deployed in the Select a resource to be deployed window. Click Open.
3. In the Devices field, select the deployment tool.
4. In the Description field:
5. In the Devices filter field:
• If you want to deploy the application to all devices, select All devices.

OR

• if you want to deploy the application only to compatible devices, select Compatible devices.

6. In the Status filter field:
• If you want to deploy the application to all devices, select All devices.

OR

• If you want to deploy the application only to connected devices, select Only connected devices.

7. If you want to change the project that contains the resource for application, in the Project field click Change and select the project you want.

Note: You can only select projects that are located in your workspace.

8. Click Deploy.
