Out of memory Image error; possible solutions?

[Midori.Ryuu]

Hello all. The app I'm working gives the user the ability to open images from the phone to send using J2ME.

The problem is, when an image size is too large, the app throws an out of memory exception.

I'm opening the images using the File API.

FileConnection fc = (FileConnection) Connector.open("file://localhost/" + currDirName + fileName);
if (!fc.exists()) {
    throw new IOException("File does not exists");
}
InputStream fis = fc.openInputStream();
Image im = Image.createImage(fis);
fis.close();

A second method I tried using

FileConnection fc = (FileConnection) Connector.open("file://localhost/" + currDirName + fileName);
if (!fc.exists()) {
    throw new IOException("File does not exists");
}
InputStream fis = fc.openInputStream();

ByteArrayOutputStream file = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
int c;

byte[] data = new byte[1024];

while ((c = fis.read(data)) != -1) {
    file.write(data, 0, c);

}

byte[] fileData = null;
fileData = file.toByteArray();

fis.close();
fc.close();
file.close();
Image im = Image.createImage(fileData, 0, fileData.length);

I was wondering if there is any API that enables me to resize the image using the phone's memory, before loading it into my app?

Currently I have this temporarily solved by calling platformRequest(), but the problem is I can't alter the photo photo viewer UI to add a "send" command which would upload the image to the server. (even if it's still a large size)

I was wondering if there is a way to alter this?

Read and sent the contents of the file (doesn't matter whether the bits are a photo or something else) in parts. In other words, do not try to read the whole file to memory at once (you don't need an in-memory copy of the image to send it to a server).
