Mobile Media Development API

Java ME Mobile Media API [MMAPI]; JSR 135

This Mobile Media API extends the functionality of the J2ME platform by providing audio, video, and other time-based multimedia support to resource-constrained devices.

Itis a simple, lightweight package, giving Java developers access to native multimedia services available on a given device. [MMAPI is an optional package within the J2ME platform].

MMAPI Device Support

MMAPI supports devices that implement:

• Profiles based on the Connected Limited Device Configuration [CLDC]
• The Connected Device Configuration [CDC]
• Profiles based on CDC

The MMAPI reference implementations [RIs] include support for simple tone generation, tone sequencing, audio/video file playback and streaming, interactive MIDI, and audio/video capture.

Benefits

Scalability - only current generic sound or multimedia support in J2ME suitable to resource-constrained devices targeting CLDC and CDC.

Small footprint - API allows easy and simple access and control of basic audio and multimedia resources on devices with limited memory and processing capabilities.
