J2ME Canvas List Example will explain you, how to create list of items. In this example we are going to create a simple list of text, that will show the selected item on the same screen. In the example you can see that we have created a class and then a constructor of the same class. In the constructor we defined the list and added some items into it..

Syntax for creating a list

  public CanvasListExample() {
  canvas = new CanvasList();
  list = new List("Employee List", Choice.IMPLICIT);
  show = new Command("Show", Command.OK, 1);
  list.append("Miss. Anusmita"null);
  list.append("Miss. Neelam"null);
  list.append("Mr. Sandeep"null);
  list.append("Mr. Suman"null);
  list.append("Mr. Saurabh"null);
  list.addCommand(show);
  display = Display.getDisplay(this);
  }

You can add any number of elements into it using list.append ()

The simple list application will look like as follow..
