Tools - Resource Handler


Resource Handler

Supplied with Bedrock is a Resource Handler which can be used to package resources at build time. Implemented in standard desktop J2SE, the developer can extend this, utilising any combination of Bedrock-supplied and custom handset knowledge to define which resources are included for any build.

Features

  • Package, load, and reference all your application resources in a standard manner
  • Extendable image compression and multi-palette definitions
  • Bitmap font and multi-celled animation definitions
  • Support for anti-aliased bitmap and system fonts
  • Extendable menu definitions
  • Text compression (including text-splitting and line-break information)
  • Automatic generation of a run-time useable interface, containing constants referencing every resource
  • Ability to pack resources in a custom manner for each handset without any change needed in your run-time code
  • Midlet-Icon handling (including automated creation of native icon formats where required, such as ".ico" and ".bmp")
  • Any propietary resource manipulations for any native platform that needs it
  • Debug output (txt or xml) listing every resource included, its origin, as well as every line of text for all languages
