overlay an image over another

[mudit.agar]

hi..

i am trying overlay an image over another using JSR 234.But when i am using that library i am getting javax.microedition.media.MediaException. here is code that i am using...

                        MediaProcessor mediaProc = GlobalManager.createMediaProcessor("image/jpeg");
                        OverlayControl overlay = (OverlayControl) mediaProc.getControl(
                                "javax.microedition.amms.control.imageeffect.OverlayControl");

                        overlay.insertImage(image1, 0, 0, 0);
                        overlay.insertImage(image2, 0, 0, 1);

                        Image mimI = (Image) overlay.getImage(1);
                        fileList.set(0, "test", mimI);

SDK -- nokia N97 sdk v1.0
OS -- windows vista
app testing on nokia N-series devices

thanks in advance..

code should use try () catch (MediaException me) {}

hey..

i think i got my answer..it may be happening because i am testing my application on nokia n97 which does not support javax.microedition.amms.control.imageeffect package. check here

please suggest either i am wrong or other workaround if i am right..

Sure. If you check the JavaDocs, you'll see...

createMediaProcessor: throws javax.microedition.media.MediaException - if a MediaProcessor could not be created for the given content type

The exception was telling you that there is no MediaProcessor for image/jpeg.

What do you want to achieve?

basically i need to show an image overlayed by another image in a List field.I have only seen list that can have only one image..thats why i need an image overlayed with another.so that i can place it in the List.

Does this help?

// create new image, the right size to use on the List
Image imgTemp = Image.createImage(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
Graphics gTemp = imgTemp.getGraphics();

// draw background onto new image
gTemp.drawImage(imgBackground, 0, 0, Graphics.TOP | Graphics.LEFT);
// draw foreground, centred on new image (on top of background)
gTemp.drawImage(imgForeground, WIDTH / 2, HEIGHT / 2, Graphics.HCENTER | Graphics.VCENTER);

// convert to an immutable image
Image imgForList = Image.createImage(imgTemp);

// use image on List
myList.append("text", imgForList);
