If we want to learn a new language, the first program is always the classical "Hello World!"

This program creates a new form with a string item and an exit button.

package com.example.helloworld;
 
import javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
 
public class HelloWorldMidlet extends MIDlet implements CommandListener {
    
    public HelloWorldMidlet() {
    }
    // Display
    private Display display;
    // Main form
    private Form form;
    // For the message
    private StringItem stringItem;
    // For the exit command
    private Command exitCommand;
 
    public void commandAction(Command command, Displayable displayable) {
        if (displayable == form) {
            if (command == exitCommand) {
                exitMIDlet();
            }
        }
    }
        
    public void startApp() {
        // Create form
        stringItem = new StringItem("Hello", "Hello World!");
        form = new Form(null, new Item[] {stringItem});
        exitCommand = new Command("Exit", Command.EXIT, 1);
        form.addCommand(exitCommand);
        form.setCommandListener(this);
