I am new to this type of programming and am trying to figure out how to move and expand pdf files on a touch screen phone. I believe that the libraries are in the JSR 184, but not sure. I am using the J2ME SDK and the help info isn't working. If someone can point me in the right direction it would be great.

What platform are you using... usually the touch screen control is built into the API of the phone. Example Android uses touch screen but only with certain phones so the API will be built around the hardware. Look into the specific API of the platform that you're building for.

Do you mean a multitouch to stretch it? Similar to the iPhone and a few android apps?

Generally, touch screen is the same as any other GUI design, it's pretty much all handled by the OS. You just use onclick / onTouch / onWhateverReallyItJustDependsOnThePlatform

I haven't understood what you mean by "expanding" pdf files. Is that a zoom feature or something of that nature?

As far as the implementation is concerned, gabehabe is right. The OS takes care of all the lower level details. All we have to do is use a higher level API.

For J2ME, the touch handling events are present in the javax.microedition.lcdui.Canvas package. They are:

• hasPointerEvents()
  Returns: boolean
  Description: Returns true if device supports touch-screen input.
  
• hasPointerMotionEvents()
  Returns: boolean
  Description: Returns true if device supports detection of press, release and drag events.
  
• pointerPressed(int x, int y)
  Returns: void
  Description: Invoked when a press event is triggered. The x and y variables will contain the coordinates of the location which was pressed.
  
• pointerReleased(int x, int y)
  Returns: void
  Description: Similar to pointerPressed() except that it is invoked when the stylus/finger is released from the screen.
  
• PointerDragged()
  Returns: void
  Description: Invoked in response to a drag event.

Hope this helps.

Is it mean there is no multi-point support in javax.microedition.lcdui.Canvas package?

I don't think so but I believe an API supporting multi-touch will be available in the near future.
