Tuesday March 10, 2009 JavaFX Mobile, boldly go where no one has gone before

Click on arrow to PLAY. Click on picture to PAUSE/RESUME. Note: If video
playback is blank or slow, reload the page and make sure QuickTime 7.6
is installed on your system.
The cool part of JavaFX is the simple way to add video to your app. And, because it's JavaFX, you program it the same way on your mobile device as you would for your desktop. Write once, and run wherever Captain Kirk says to run it. Try playing the video above and see what I mean... |
Code snippet:
var player = MediaPlayer {
autoPlay: false
media : Media {
source : "{__DIR__}star-trek.flv";
}
}
var view:MediaView = MediaView {
visible: true
mediaPlayer: bind player
}

Thanks, Thom. It was fun creating it. BTW, try using Alt+LeftMouseClick on the video window and drag it around your Desktop (requires Firefox 3.0 or equivalent browser). Then click in the separated window to pause and resume the video. That part is really cool about JavaFX...

You think everyone has Mac or windows?

I don't. I <3 Solaris and Linux. With not enough engineers to work on other ports though, there is only so much you can do. Are you offering to help us port JavaFX to Solaris and Linux? :-) We can't pay you anything if you do help us, of course. :-)

I have some questions about JavaFx mobile as I have heard people calling it vapour ware so...
>> can I test it on an actual phone?
>> have all mobile device makers signed up to distribute it?
Thanks

Hi Arthur,
Yes, JavaFX does run on actual phones. I'll post of videos of some of the various cell phones I currently run on. It's not vaporware.
To answer your question about mobile device makers, Sun has engaged with Sony Ericsson and LG Electronics to develop proof
of concept implementations of JavaFX Mobile running on a number of
handsets. These proof of concepts are for demonstration purposes only for now
and are not available to the public.
But, of course you might see me upload some videos of them from time to time. ;-)
