The PlayingScreen uses a state machine similar to what we created in the last chapter for the RecordingScreen. Many of the same components are present in both screens, although as we will soon see they are used very differently.

Historically, Sun has see-sawed between two extremes when it comes to Java. Their initial release of Java included an enormous set of libraries with a bewildering array of packages, classes, and methods. Each individual component had a very well-defined role, but that meant learning many new components. With Java ME, the pendulum swung the other way with the introduction of the Generic Connection Framework (GCF). Now you had a single component, like a Connector, that was responsible for a wide variety of tasks such as accessing the network or writing a file. The MMAPI is very similar to the GCF in that there are only a few classes to learn, but a great deal of nuance in their use. Sun broadly defines media to include all audio operations and all visual operations except for the display of still images. In the same way that you access Connection subtypes by making requests to the Connector class, you access Player instances by making requests to the Manager class. Unlike the GCF, though, there are no subclasses of Player; instead, each Player can support an arbitrary number of Control objects. Each Control allows you to manipulate some aspect of the recording/playback operation. For example, playing back a video may provide access to a VideoControl, FramePositioningControl, and VolumeControl, while playing back an audio file will offer only the VolumeControl. Figure 2-1 illustrates two possible configurations of Player objects. This sort of separation allows RIM and other manufacturers to add additional functionality based on new features, and not the specific media type.

Executes the asynchronous computation expr, and binds its result to pat when it completes. If expr has type Async<'T>, then pat has type 'T. Equivalent to async.Bind(expr,(fun pat -> ...)). Executes an expression synchronously, and binds its result to pat immediately. If expr has type 'T, then pat has type 'T. Equivalent to let! () = expr. Equivalent to let () = expr. Evaluates the expression, and returns its value as the result of the containing asynchronous workflow. Equivalent to async.Return(expr). Executes the expression as an asynchronous computation, and returns its result as the overall result of the containing asynchronous workflow. Equivalent to expr. Executes the expression immediately, and binds its result immediately. Calls the Dispose method on each variable bound in the pattern when the subsequent asynchronous workflow terminates, regardless of whether it terminates normally or by an exception. Equivalent to async.Using(expr,(fun pat -> ...)).

be at the mercy of the hardware manufacturer s own development and release schedule. If the driver has a serious bug, you ll either have to work around it or put up with troubling issues until the manufacturer offers an update. A few years ago, a proprietary driver for a 3D graphics card stopped any computer it was installed on from going into hibernation mode (that is, suspending to disk). Those using the drivers had to wait months until the fix was released. Despite this and although the folks behind Ubuntu strongly support open-source software, they realize proprietary drivers need to be used in certain situations. For example, it s impossible to use the 3D graphics elements of some graphics cards unless you have a proprietary driver, and this means that desktop visual effects will be unavailable to users who happen to have hardware that isn t currently fully supported by open-source drivers. Because of this, Ubuntu automatically installs Wi-Fi proprietary drivers by default if no open-source alternative exists (or if the open-source version is not yet good enough). It also offers the opportunity to easily install some proprietary graphics card drivers if they provide more functionality than the open-source versions.

Checking for prerequisites can be as simple as running a piece of code that uses the prerequisites within a try/catch block. If you get an exception, you can direct the user to the launch page, discussed in the Option 1 scenario, and have them run the bootstrapper package. Again, all of the options have pros and cons and thus require considerable attention to ensure that users receive a seamless update experience (if possible).
