Hi,

I'm new to J2ME. I'm thinking about the factibility to make a program for
phones using J2ME. The problem is that I'll need a lot of memory for saving
data (several megabytes) so it should use memory card to store the data.
I've been googling but I can not find any way to access memory card from
J2ME.
Is it any way to access data on a memory card from J2ME application? Any
third party solution...?

Thanks in advance
Sammy

The only standard way is RecordStore - anything else isn't likely to
really be 'J2ME'. You are probably better off searching for something
for your target device model rather than searchin for a J2ME API.

The other JSR is the File System API. Only a few model have it. This is
the JSR-75.

On a device with memory expansion slots the URL might look like this:
