Alert类继承自Screen，它的作用是通知用户发生异常信息。在高级用户界面API中有三个类是不能有父容器的，他们必须要占据屏幕，其中一个就是Alert,另外两个是List和TextBox。在MIDP1.0中,Alert的灵活性比较差，表示的信息比较死板。在MIDP2.0中添加了一个重要的特性就是能够在Alert上添加指示器，因此可以和Guage结合起来使用。
和Alert结合使用的Guage有以下要求1.必须是非交互性的，2.不能同时在其他的容器内，3.Guage的label必须为null，4.Guage不能和Command和CommandListener关联。比如按照如下方式创建一个Guage实例
int max = ... // maximum value
int initial = ... // initial value
Gauge gauge = new Gauge( null, false, max, initial );
通过调用方法setIndicator()可以把Alert和Guage结合起来
Alert a = new Alert( "My alert" );
a.setIndicator( gauge );
由于MIDP的用户界面类都是线程安全的，因此你可以在其他的线程内改变guage的值，Alert会自动的重新绘制屏幕来更新guage的当前值。
在MIDP2.0中，我们可以显式的对Alert添加Command，当然如果你还要实现CommandListener的commandAction()方法来告诉系统当Command被按下的时候该做什么。在MIDP1.0中，有个默认的Command和Alert关联在一起的，如果我们在Alert中显式的添加了Command的话，那么这个默认的Command就被取代，如果添加的Command被删除，默认的Command会自动恢复和Alert的关联。如果我们在Alert上添加了两个以上的Command，那么它的Timeout会自动设置为FOREVER。
下面的应用程序很好的说明了如何使用不同的Alert表示不同的信息
