Re: [xmlvm-users] xmlvm-users Digest, Vol 8, Issue 1

Sorry, that was a mistake from my side. Now I know that the java
code gives the interface and the objectiveC directory gives the
actual code to be run on the device. I did adapt the java classes
when additional methods were needed (such as UIAlertView.show() and
dismiss()), but only did the implementation in the objectiveC code -
hope that's ok.

Best,
  Alex

One of the problems I ran across was that when a unicode character was added as part of a Java string ("\uxxxx"), it was being emitted in the Objective C code as "\xxxxx", with the characters as octal characters.
