Can typical j2me API(LCDUI) and LWUIT combined together

Question

My doubt is I building an J2ME location based application as a my final year project which is totally built using J2ME API like high level UI (Form) and low level UI (Canvas). Now i want to use the LWUIT API's to make few changes in high level UI and implement autocomplete functionality to textfield to select desired place name by user according he/she type which am not able to do it.

"To Places autocomplete I am using Google Place API - Places Autocomplete feature"

I am already created my whole design in LCDUI; because of autocomplete functionality now I can't re-create my entire design in LWUIT

Is it possible to combine both LCDUI and LWUIT components together? i.e. use both LWUIT and Canvas together in an application?

Answer 1

LWUIT components are drawn to Canvas and LWUIT draws the whole Canvas area. You can not mix LWUIT components with LCDUI ones.

Answer 2

It is possible somehow to mix LCDUI and LWUIT but its not straight forward. I know there is access to some LCDUI components through some wrappers in LWUIT. You can check this post : How to launch a LWUIT form from a LCDUI form?

It seems he has an LCDUI project and is able to start a LWUIT form from inside it by initializing LWUIT display. It may be the way to go.
