  | | TopAbstractThe introduction to Palm OS programming given in the previous chapter provided an overview of its structure and basic concepts. This chapter examines an advanced aspect of Palm OS programming, focusing on one major subject that is particularly relevant for handheld devices: forms. User interfaces such as check boxes and radio buttons can be contained in a form, allowing users to enter data that is, typically, then sent to a server for processing. It is important to note that this topic was selected to allow the reader to become familiar with how Palm OS operates; for other Palm OS topics such as databases and menus, readers may check the section later in this chapter on Palm OS References for further information. • In Palm OS, every file is a database, which is similar to the persistent storage of J2ME. A Palm database does not correspond to a “relational database” but is actually closer to a structured, flexible, and mobile binary data file. • A menu bar is displayed whenever the user taps a menu icon. The menu bar is also displayed when the user taps in a form’s titlebar. The menu bar, a horizontal list of menu titles, appears at the top of the screen in its own window, above all the application windows. TopComplete Chapter List
