how to run kdk-emulator?

[CapitainDerya]

I downloaded this emulator but cant run on windows 7? May you give full instruction or how to because, i am newbie at java. I have problem with compiling source code, may you compile at your pc and attach it here?

Spoiler:

kdk-emulator-read-only/vavi-apps-kdkemulator/src/main/java/vavi/apps/kindlet

Appears to contain a viewer class and a set of the KDK (ish?) code

and then in

kdk-emulator-read-only/vavi-apps-kdkemulator/src/main/resources there appears to be a Kindle2 picture that is probably called to house the underlying code.

It runs like:

java vavi.apps.kindlet.KindletViewer your_Kindlet_class


The demo available is tetris, which would run like:

java vavi.apps.kindlet.KindletViewer vavi.games.tetris.TetrisApp

I am guessing you would run the command from the kdk-emulator-read-only/vavi-apps-kdkemulator/src/main/java directory but I am no expert.

https://code.google.com/p/umjammer/source/browse/trunk/ contains a raft of stuff to sort through.

The tetris KDK thing is in there

You could check out the lot like:
svn checkout http://umjammer.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ umjammer-read-only (It's about 70mb)

Hope that helps.

It's junk don't use it

It's pretty simple to build a jar from it (quick and dirty way):

svn checkout http://kdk-emulator.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ kdk-emulator-read-only
cd kdk-emulator-read-only/vavi-apps-kdkemulator/src/main/java/
find . -name .svn -type d | xargs rm -rf
find . -name "*.java" | xargs javac -source 1.4 -target 1.4
cp ../resources/kindle2.png .
zip -9 -r vavi-kdemu.jar *

Then, to have the emulator run yourpackage.YourKindlet:

java vavi.apps.kindlet.KindletViewer yourpackage.YourKindlet

with the jar in the classpath.

I haven't tried it though. I much prefer running apps on the real device, if only to find possible quirks right away. But yeah, your choice.

UPDATE: Attachment removed. It's crap anyway.

Please, help! I am not able to solve this problem. May you give a HelloWorld example?
Example Issue;
I have got a helloworld app like this...

Spoiler:

package test;


import com.amazon.kindle.kindlet.AbstractKindlet;
import com.amazon.kindle.kindlet.KindletContext;
import com.amazon.kindle.kindlet.ui.KTextArea;

public class Main extends AbstractKindlet {

private KindletContext ctx;

public void create(KindletContext context) {
this.ctx = context;
}

public void start() {
try {
ctx.getRootContainer().add(new KTextArea("Hello World!"));
} catch (Throwable t) {
t.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

Using kindlet howtos of this forum, i compiled and converted it to azw2.
I am using this command in windows cmd:
java vavi-kdkemu.jar test.azw2
But no result...

The .azw2 is the complete packaged artifact that is meant to be deployed on a Kindle.

The emulator above works at the source code (well, "compiled source code" level).

You're running it in the completely wrong way. Java takes a class as the first argument to run, not a .jar file. And the "emulator app" takes another class as an argument, not an .azw2 file.

The following might work (on Windows):
java -cp "vavi-kdkemu.jar;test.azw2" vavi.apps.kindlet.KindletViewer test.Main

On Linux, use java -cp "vavi-kdkemu.jar:test.azw2" ...

OK, forget it. I just tried it - this emulator doesn't work. Throws exceptions all over the place even for your simple hello world app. Use the real device instead.

Thanks, dude
