In mobile application development, modern platforms such as Android,iPhone, Blackberry etc, provide capability to easily use a Menu Bar but if we were to take a more traditional programming approach, such as J2ME, it becomes difficult as there are no inbuilt Menu Bars.
However, we can use a dialog box and give the look and feel as well as functionalities of a Menu Bar and since we are using J2ME, the application would run fine on all Java-enabled devices.
Hope this helps J2ME guys :

/**
*
* @param title dialog title 
* @param menuList List contains options to show as Menu options .
*/
public MenuDialog(String title,List menuList)
{
try {
setTitle(title);
Image bg = Image.createImage("/com/ira/images/background.jpg");
getDialogStyle().setBgImage(bg);
addComponent(menuList);
addCommand(new Command("Cancel"));
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}

}
