Set(...) / ExecAndSet(...) / Timer (...) commands

This command used to control and customize GUI of Java client. It is possible to change:
  • caption of screen
  • title and status fields
  • arrange icons from predefined icon set,
  • change background and foreground color,
  • change font size
  • change icon layouts (skins)
  • use internal vibrator of the phone
  • set fullscreen mode
  • set debug mode
This command also could be used to:
  • show text on the screen of cell phone
  • show list on the screen of cell phone
  • run external commands and use results
    of it execution to set GUI of Java client
  • run external commands periodically

Set(...) command is used to set various parameters of GUI of Java client with exact comands specification.

ExecAndSet(..) do the same thing, but it uses the results of executed command as as part of command which will be sent to Java client.

Timer(...) do the same thing as ExecAndSet(...), but it could beexecuted periodically.

For details see examples below.

There are a lot of ways to use this command:

Set(icons, ...)

Format: SetI(icons,caption,1,name1,2,name2...,*,name11,#,name12)

where nameX specifies desired action. This command sets the caption of Java client window and reports to Java client to dynamically change shown icons.

if You do not want to change the caption of Java client window then it is possible to write:

Set(title, ...)

Format: Set(title, new_title)

This command sets the title field of Java client

It is possible to add line break characters to the text. It could be done with "\n".

Set(status, ...)

Format: Set(status, new_status) This command sets the status field of Java client

Set(bg ...)

Format: Set(bg,R,G,B)

Where R, G, B values should be beetween 0 and 255. This command sets the background color of Java client. For example to set background to blue:

The simples way to determine appropriare RGB value is to run KolourPaint program and then open Select Color dialog.

Set(fg ...)

Format: Set(fg,R,G,B)

Where R, G, B values should be beetween 0 and 255. This command sets the foreground color of Java client. For example to set foreground to blue:

Set(font ...)

Format: Set(font,small|medium|large)

This command sets the font size for title and status fields of Java client. Java realization in the phone could not support some of font sizes. On SE phones medium font looks the same as large one. For example to set small font size:

Set(volume ...)

Format: Set(volume,X)

Whare X should be between 0 and 100. This command sets value of volume bar of Java client (it needs to issue Set(skin,....volume) command before to make volume bar visible):

Set(vibrate)

Format: Set(vibrate)

This command switches on internal vibrator of the phone (if exists) for 1/2 sec.

Set(text, ...)

Format: Set(text,add|replace|show|clear|close|fg|bg|font, _data_)

This command shows help test on the screen of cell phone. See detailed description here.

Set(list ...) and Set(iconlist ...)

Format: Set(list,add|replace|clear|show|close|fg|bg|font, _data_) or

Set(iconlist,add|replace|clear|show|close|menu|fg|bg|font, _data_)

This command used to create and manage lists. It could be useful to manage player playlists or to browse directory structure. See detailed description here. The iconlist can contain icons in front of each list item.

Set(menu ...)

Format: Set(menu,add|replace|clear[,_data_])

This command used to manage menues. Custom made menu could be added to each screen of Java Client. See detailed description here.

Set(skin ...)

Format: Set(skin,default|bottomline[,keypad_only|joystick_only][,ticker|noticker],[volume],[size16|size32],[choose,_button_],[up,_button_],[down,_button_])

This command used to choose icon layout ("skin") to show. There are 3 icon layouts defined: default and bottomline.

If keypad_only parameter specified, then it will be possible to send commands only by pressing numeric keys.

If joystick_only parameter is specified, then it will be possible to send commands only by pressing joystick central button.

If ticker parameter is specified then ticker (running text) will be used to show title field instead of static text.

If choose,_button_ parameter is specified then initial selection will be set to button with appropriate number. (0-9, *, # are the valid values for the button).

If noticker parameter is specified then title field will be shown as static text.

If volume parameter is specified then volume bar will be shown.

In bottomline icon layout if there will be not enough space on phone screen to show all icons, then some of them will be omitted.

If the screen heigth is less than 250pt. then 16x16 icons will be used by default, overwise 32x32 icons will be used by default. It is possible to force using 16x16 or 32x32 icons by specifying size16 or size32 parameter. of them will be omitted.

In bottomline icon layout it is possible to specify action to JoystickUp and JoystickDown with help of "up,_button_up_" and "down,_button_down_". If user pushes JoystickUp/JoystickDown then _button_up_/_button_down_ events will be sent.

Wi

Set(filemanager ...)

Format: Set(filemanager, add|replace|select, left|right, [_data_])

This command used to show file manager window. It looks like MC and allows to do basic file operations. See detailed description here.

Set(fullscreen ...)

Format: Set(fullscreen,on|off)

Set fullscreen mode on or off.

Set(editfield ...)

Format: Set(editfield,caption_value,label_value,init_value)

Shows edit field on phones screen. When used press OK, then message label_value(0,_entered_value_) will be sent to server.

For example, if user enters, say - new_line - and press OK, then message Parametes(0,new_line) will be sent.

Set(disconnect)

Format: Set(disconnect)

Force java client to disconnect from PC.

Set(parameter, ...)

Format: Set(parameter,_parameter_name_,_parameter_value_)

Where _parameter_name_ can be: debug, lazy_repaint, fix_siemens. It is useful to add Set(parameter, ...) command to (Connect) event handler to set parametes automatically upon connection to the phone.

Set(parameter,debug,on|off)

Switch on/off debug information printing in Java Client. Useful for debugging. Default value is "off".

Set(parameter,lazy_repaint,on|off)

Useful to avoid flickering screen of java client. Default value is "off". If You use long commands like Set(title,a1);Set(status,a2);Set(icons,SAME,...);... then if this parameter is set to "off" then screen of java client will be repainted after each command. If this parameter set to "on" then screen of java client will be repainted only if Set(repaint) command will be issued.

Set(parameter,full_repaint,on|off)

Useful to fix some mismatches in Java realization in phones. Default value is "off". Try to set this option to "on" if something goes wrong with repainting of java client.

Set(parameter,fix_se,on|off|auto)

Useful to fix mismatches in SE-K750's Java realization. Default value is "auto". If You use other SonyEricsson phone try to set this option to "on" if something goes wrong with repainting of java client.

Set(parameter,fix_siemens,on|off|auto)

Useful to fix mismatches in Siemens-S65's Java realization. Default value is "auto". If You use Siemens/BenqSiemens phone try to set this option to "on" if something goes wrong with java client.

Set(parameter,fix_joystick,auto|off)

Useful if java client handle joystick buttons incorrectly. In general should be used in conjunction with Set(parameter,joystick_*,_keycode_).

Set(parameter,joystick_up,_keycode_)

Set(parameter,joystick_down,_keycode_)

Set(parameter,joystick_left,_keycode_)

Set(parameter,joystick_right,_keycode_)

Set(parameter,joystick_push,_keycode_)

Useful if java client handle joystick buttons incorrectly. Allows to set keycodes which will be interpreted as joystick keycodes. No default values. To determine real keycodes of joystick keys add Set(parameter,debug,on) command to (Connect) line of cfg. file and then inspect log file.

Set(parameter,fix_nokia_push,on|off|auto)

Useful on some Nokia phones if push joystick do not works. Adds "Push" menu item which should be mapped to push joystick. Default value is "auto" (set to "on" for all Nokia phones, except Exx and Nxx).
