What is the getAppProperty() method?

The getAppProperty() method is used to retrieve named properties of a MIDlet from the application management software. The properties of the MIDlet are retrieved from the combination of the application descriptor file and the manifest. It may be possible that an attribute in the descriptor has the same name as an attribute in the manifest. In such a situation, the value from the descriptor is used and the value from the manifest is ignored. The general form of the getAppProperty() method is as follows:

public final String getAppProperty(String key)

where key is the name of the property and null is returned if no value is available for the key. A NullPointerException is thrown if the key is null.
