Hi all,

Hope you guys can help answer my question. If I have 2 applications which are
A) a J2ME game
and
B) a Symbian application.

Would it be possible to open B whenever A gets started by the user or vice versa?
Then would it be possible for A to communicate to B and vice versa?

The only solution I could think of is for A to send the message to an external server and then for B to receive it. But I think for Symbian OS, you can only run 1 application at any one time and you need to switch between applications in order to run the application you want, right?

You can run multiple apps on Symbian OS simultaneously just fine. It is a multitasking OS unlike the OS on some other phones.

A J2ME app can communicate on a local Symbian app on the same device directly, if they use TCP/IP sockets. Search for "midpjni" for such an example.
