This class extends the UiApplication class, providing a graphical user interface. |
 |
UiApplication
Base class for all device applications that provide a user interface.
As it pushes screens onto the stack, it draws them on top of any other screens already on the stack. When the application pops a screen off the stack, it redraws the underlying screens as necessary. Only the screen on the top of the stack receives input events.
The application throws a runtime exception if you attempt to push a single screen onto the stack more than once. Note that a UI application must follow rules similar to those of traditional Swing applications. |
