Tickets

This demonstrates how an online ticket auction application might behave. The home screen displays a ticket ticker across the top. The Choose a Band field displays Alanis Morrisette by default.

To select a band, highlight the band name and press Select. Use the down arrow to highlight a different band, moby, for example, then press Select. The available auction appears.

To make a bid, select the Menu soft key and choose 2. Use the arrow keys to move from field to field. Fill out each field. Select the Next soft key. The application asks you to confirm your bid. Use the arrow keys to highlight Submit then press Select. You receive a Confirmation number. Click Bands to return to the welcome page.

To set an alert, select the Menu soft key and choose 3. Use the navigation arrows to move to the field and type in a value higher than the current bid. Select the Save soft key. You are returned to the welcome page. You can trigger the alert by making a bid that exceeds your alert value. Your settings determine how often the application checks for changes, so the alert may not sound for a few minutes.

To add a band, select the Menu soft key and choose 4. Type in a band name or a comma‐separated list of names. Choose the Save soft key. After confirmation you are returned to the welcome page. The added band(s) are displayed in the Choose a Band drop‐down menu.

Note - This is only a demonstration. To fully describe the band you must edit the file workdir/apps/Demos/src/example/auction/NewTicketAuction.java.

To remove a band, select the Menu soft key and choose 5. Navigate to a band then choose Select to mark the check box. You can select multiple bands. Choose the Save soft key.

To display the current settings for ticker display, updates, alert volume, and date, select the Menu soft key and choose 6. If desired, use the arrow keys and the select key to change these values. Choose the Save soft key.
