Java expert Michael Samarin walks you through LWUIT features including transitions, animations, comprehensive UI components, layout management and Series 40 Themes support. In coding demons he shows you how to use the LWUIT Resource Editor and steps you through development tasks associated with making LWUIT-based Java apps for Series 40 phones.
