pictures

Hi,
We are considering developing a game for mobile phone that uses pictures and we would like to use java as platform. Is it possible to access the camera from a java application and/or is it possible to load previously taken pictures into to the java application? If so how can it be done?

Best regards,
Rikard

Hi

Is it possible to access the camera from a java application
Not completely sure, but seems like there is some Nokia proprietary API for this.

is it possible to load previously taken pictures into to the java application?
It is not possible due to sand-box paradigm. Your MIDlet can access only it's own data and network.
Otherwise some bad app could e.g., send your private photos somewhere
