LED on option as suggestion

Hi

I'm Richard Peter, from India.

I downloaded GO BIBLE software for my java phone. 

It  is really great.I just have one suggestion - please include LED ON option 
also in the next version. I sometimes want to concentrate in a single verse, 
and most phones automatically go lights off, if you don't press any key for 
30seconds or so, except if the application itself has that option (most phones 
dont have that option in the phone's setting).

Other than that, I really love it. Thanks for your work!

I am beginning to understand why Java ME's days are numbered.

Java ME does not support Reflection. Vendor-specific APIs (such as Nokia's 
backlight functions) cannot be accessed without distributing multiple versions 
of an application. This makes a developer's work very, very frustrating.

In short, unless we distribute multiple versions of GoBible for individual 
devices, this feature cannot be implemented.

I believe there is a complex, technical way to work around this without 
crashing Blackberry, but it requires the distribution of stubs that must be 
removed when the actual implementation is available.

e.g. implement a class:
package com.nokia.mid.ui;
public DeviceControl { /* STUB */
public void setLights(int a, int b){}
}

Now, because the class is available on ALL devices (since we "implemented" it), 
no phone should crash. However, because this will conflict with native classes 
on Nokia devices, this .class file must then be removed for Nokia devices.

Therefore we won't fix this.

Go Bible is not targeted primarily at Blackberry phones anyway.

Blackberry owners can use Scott Bouma's application.
