What is the getAppProperty() method?

The getAppProperty() method is a method of the MIDlet class. It is used to retrieve the value of the attributes specified in the JAD or the manifest file. The general syntax of this method is as follows:

public final String getAppProperty(String key)

Here, the key parameter takes the name of the attribute whose value is to be retrieved.

In case of a trusted MIDlet suite the value of the attribute is retrieved from the manifest file, but in case of an untrusted MIDlet suite the value will be retrieved from the JAD file.

This method cannot be overridden, as it is declared as final.

The return type is String.
