I wrote a Calculator app for the Storm

[ylexot]

Very cool calculator. I feel so much better now that I can use RPN. The "Realistic Screen" is pretty fun to use for that retro feel. Now I'm just hoping that someone will make a 48GX emulator...

thanks for posting the source code. I'm looking to tinker in the development area and it's always good to get some sample code to leverage as a starting point.

I want to thank you for feeding my need for an RPN calculator.. Great Job!

If you do a landscape mode, could you maybe do a layout similar to a 11C?

Also, is there a way to turn off the buzz for every key input (just seems like a waste of battery to me)

Once again, for a version 1.0, this is fantastic!

I still gotta calculate how much I'm loosing!

Thanks for the suggestion of using the HP-11 as a basis for the landscape layout.
The only reason it doesn't already do landscape is because I was too lazy to design
a good layout.

Of course, it is trivial to add an option to turn off the vibrate. (It's also trivial to do
the vibrate in the first place; I wonder why more applications or the OS itself do
not have that option.)

Great app or emulator or whatever it is. I'm stoked to have an RPN calculator on my Storm.

Unrelated dev question (since you were nice enough to post the source code, hoping you'll point me in the right direction with this)

I've generated the HelloWorld app and have a .cod file. I need an .alx file to load via the desktop manager. How do I go about generating one in order to copy it over to my BB for testing (I can view via the simulator, but want to deploy on my actual phone)?

I like it... I always find it hard to go back to a 'forward texan' calculator. RPN will always be easiest for me! Thanks, Dougbert

PS - Any interest in doing an HP-48SX???

There is a command in the JDE "Build' menu to generate an ALX file. But I have never needed one.
During development, I simply load the .cod file into the phone with JavaLoader.exe.
Setting up the app for OTA download is a bit confusing- you have to unpack the .cod (which is really a .zip) into several "sibling" .cods, and
you have to edit the .jad file a bit. Search the developer message boards for more info. I am surprised that the JDE does not do
these things automatically.

Find an existing Java implementation and your work is 90% done...

Perfect...thanks!

Nice App! I really needed an RPN calc on the app. This is really helpful and it looks nice too. Good job.

Is there a reason I can't get it to work? I pound in OP's website and click on the download link, and I get a screen full of code that doesn't look long enough to be a calc app. Then, I navigate here on the phone and try to click the link, and I'm asked for a login.
