Image

How can I get Image object from url, like Picture pic = getPicture(url) ?
I tried to do this:

Picture pic = getPicture(url);
Image im = pic.getImage(); 

but the image is still not loaded into pic.

PHP Code? Shouldn't it be Helium/Widget/Script code?)

Anyways problem with your code is that by the time you call pic.getImage() the image has not been loaded yet, and only placeholder image (loading bar) is returned.

I remember that I added ITEM_CHANGED/ITEM_CANCEL event support for getPicture(). I am not sure if it has been released yet (cannot access source code right now), but if it is released it can be used like this

Picture pic = getPicture(url); 

void actionPerformed(Shell shell, Component source, int action)
{
  if (action == ITEM_CHANGED && source == pic) {
    Image img = pic.getImage();
  }
}

If it hasn't been released, need to hack a bit:

Picture pic = getPicture(url); 
Image placeHolder = pic.getImage();

schedule(1000);

void timerEvent(Timer timer)
{
  Image img = pic.getImage();
  if (image != placeHolder) {
    //img is the loaded image, or error placeholder ;(
  } else {
    //not loaded yet, lets wait one more second
    schedule(1000);
  }
}

Hope this helps,

Thanks, render. It help. I chose PHP because it has a syntax highlight in forum ).
