  1. The ProjectCapuchin Energizing User Experience

  2. Background - rich UIs need • Consumers are increasingly demanding richer user experiences • Personalization • Customization • Operator requirements • Usability

  3. Flash Lite - tech overview from SEMC perspective Pros - Adobe Flash CS3 IDE – easy to learn and use, fast prototyping and emulation - Community – big and active, constantly growing - Education material – books, forums, tutorials - Flash Lite Player – optimized and configured for each platform Cons - Limited system services access - No proper security solution - Lack of distribution channels - Performance and memory consumption

  4. JAVA ME - tech overview from SEMC perspective Pros - Wide platform access – Java Specification Requests (JSRs) - Security model – protection domains offered by MIDP - Distribution infrastructure, using Java ARchive packaging - Wide adoption of language Cons - Lack of efficient, designer oriented tools - No rich UI framework - Difficult to keep separation between presentation and service layer - Designers dependent on programmers in UI development

  5. Capuchin – overview and high-level architecture • What is Capuchin? • a way of creating compelling UI and energizing UX • a way to improve cooperation between UI designers and programmers • a way to simplify and speed up mobile applications development • a way to design UI in Flash while JAVA provides services • an API that defines a bridge between Flash and Java +

  9. Benefits for Flash/Java developers • For Flash developers: • Extend current limited set of APIs with the use of Java JSRs • Secure Flash applications through existing Java security mechanisms • Deploy Flash in same manner as Java games and applications • Distribute Flash content using existing Java distribution infrastructure • For Java developers: • New ways of building application UI using proved technology • Clear separation of the presentation and service layer • Efficient designer oriented tools; let designers define the UI • Quick test and prototyping

  10. How to use Capuchin? 1. Packaging pure Flash Lite content - full Flash UI, no Java service access Flash games and apps encapsulated in a MIDlet suite (*.jar), using Java ME distribution infrastructure and security mechanisms. 2. Java MIDlet using Flash Lite for the UI layer - full Flash UI, Java services Flash Lite handles the entire presentation layer while Java ME is used as a service provider, feeding the presentation layer with necessary data. 3. Java MIDlet using Flash Lite for parts of the UI - Java UI and Flash UI, Java services In cases where it is not feasible to use Flash Lite as a full presentation layer, Flash Lite could be used for presentation of some UI components, for example menus in 3D games.

  12. Hello World import com.sonyericsson.capuchin.FlashImage; import com.sonyericsson.capuchin.FlashPlayer; public class MyApplication extends MIDlet { public FlashPlayer flashPlayer = null; public FlashImage flashImage = null; public MyApplication() { InputStream in = getClass().getResourceAsStream("HelloWorld.SWF"); flashImage = FlashImage.createImage(in); flashPlayer = FlashPlayer.createFlashPlayer(flashImage); flashPlayer.setFullScreenMode(true); } protected void startApp() { Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(flashPlayer.getDisplayable()); } …

  13. SWF2JAR • SWF2JAR is a tool for packaging a flash file (.swf) into a MIDlet Suite (.jar) • Enables distribution of flash games and apps through Java infrastructure

  14. mxp – development and accessibility • Capuchin service API generator • - Eclipse plug-in • GUI for generating API files • Action Script functions as input • Test data for IDE simulation
