Send SMS using Java Midlet/J2ME and Clickatell
I have had some time to experiment with J2ME which is something I’ve always wanted the time to do. So during the course of this week (maybe a few hours total) I have put together my first Midlet. It’s a simple piece of software which allows you to send an SMS via the Clickatell SMS gateway.
You’ll need a Clickatell HTTP API Account to do so, if you don’t already have one click here to get one.
I have posted the source code here or you can point your mobile device directly at:
Alternatively, download the jar file directly (I had to do this to get it working on my Windows Mobile 6.1 phone) at http://www.ddj.co.za/s.jar
I wrote it using a Mac with Eclipse (with ME add-on’s) using mpowerplayer as the emulator. It is *just* a prototype and by no means uses best practice programming so don’t judge me on this quick hack
Enjoy! If you like this app and you want me to modify it for you please get in touch via midlet@ddj.co.za

Thanks Donald,
Goes to show how easy the Clickatell gateway is to code against.
Keep in touch.
