Yes, here is itMyWorld.zip.

[liuto]

Here is my src

[hawhill]

ah, well, the MyWorld.class ended up in the root directory again. Whereas in the Manifest, it is declared to be "Hello.MyWorld", so the kindle would search for "Hello/MyWorld.class". I'm just guessing here, but you might just have issued "jar cvfm [...] Hello/MyWorld.class", but it should have been "jar cvfm [...] Hello".

You can check the contents of the .azw2 with a ZIP reader to make sure that the layout within matches the data in the Manifest.
Edit: or just use the jar tool's "t" command...

Thank you very much.

Sorry, I'd love to, but I managed to break some permission files on my K3 and won't get to fix them before weekend (which starts in about 20 hours here:-)).
Edit: That means I'll do it if noone beats me to it before!

Sorry for bothering you... :-)

And Thank you for your kindly help.

OK!!!

Finally, by comparing the project configurations with others, I found that we have to compile the source code with '-target 1.4 -source 1.4' options if JDK version is 1.6.x

That will work!

Thanks all.

Hi, great that the problem is solved! And good to make this point in this thread.

[liuto]

just test

Have anyone managed to bypass the "This title is not authorized to use the current network connection in this location. Please try connecting to a Wi-Fi network" exception ?

I played around /opt/amazon/ebook/security/external.policy, but it won't allow me to connect via 3G anyway.

Any ideas ?

Hello Adrian!

Any chance to port KindleChess to Touch?

Hi there. I'm trying to get the HelloWorld to work. So far I've copied the jars and have the following directory structure:

- lib/ - lotsa jars, including Kindlet-2.1.jar
- sdk/
---- lib/ - more jars
- HelloWorld/
---- Main.java
---- Main.manifest

Now if I do:

cd HelloWorld
javac -classpath ../lib/Kindlet-2.1.jar Main.java

I get:

Main.java:5: cannot find symbol
symbol : class KTextArea
location: package com.amazon.kindle.kindlet.ui
import com.amazon.kindle.kindlet.ui.KTextArea;
-----------------------------------------^
Main.java:17: cannot find symbol
symbol : class KTextArea
location: class test.Main
ctx.getRootContainer().add(new KTextArea("Hello World!"));
---------------------------------------^
I tried including ../lib/kafui.jar in the classpath also (because it has ui in the name), and others:

javac -classpath ../lib/Kindlet-2.1.jar:../lib/kafui.jar:../lib/utilities.jar:../KindletImplementation.jar Main.java

but to no avail. Apparently the class KTextArea is gone in 2.1???

EDIT: Added dashes--- because this editor does not preserve the formatting.
