Simple MIDlet help...

[Devil619]

Hi all, im new, and i need to produce a small MIDlet for a college project and i was hoping that someone could help!

The application is a simple timetable. On opening there will be a list of 5 days (Monday - Friday), on selecting one of these days a jpg image corresponding to the day will be displayed. The images will be on the phones Memory Card. I have a Nokia 6230.

I have got Sun One Studio 5 Update with the J2ME features. If someone can help me out and point me the right direction, or recommend a book that would help i'd be most apprechiated!

Thank You
Ash!

hi

You may try following code for getting your images

it gets a single image
try
{
int cnt=0;
byte data[] = new byte[10240];

//10240 bytes is max. size of your image file
int i=0;
Image img;
InputStream imgStream;
imgStream = getClass().getResourceAsStream(imgPath);
cnt=imgStream.read(data,0,10240);
img = Image.createImage(data,0,cnt);

}
catch(Exception ex)
{
addDebugMessage("Error Getting Image");
}

imgPath is path of image on phone

You may couple your images for time table in the .jar setup file of your application. You may also dispaly png , gif images instead of jpeg images.

For displaying this image , make a subclass of Canvas class and in its paint method write following code :

public void paint(Graphics g)
{
int X = g.getClipWidth();
int Y = g.getClipHeight();
int iX = img.getWidth();
int iY = img.getHeight();
g.setColor(255,255,255);
g.fillRect(0,0,X,Y);//..clears the screen

//@ before displaying each new image remember to clear the
//screen by painting it with white rectangle

g.drawImage(img,(X-iX)/2,(Y-iY)/2,Graphics.LEFT|Graphics.TOP);
//@ draws your image in centre of screen irrespective of its dimensions
}


hope this information may be helpful to you.

Hi,

I know that this post is very late, but I am in the same situation and having problems with loading image of resolution 1600x1200 on 6270 and 7370 but images of 800x600 are loading pretty well and even the images of 820x615 are not loading and giving out of memory error on the function call createImage(inputStream).

Kind regards

Hi Navjot,

I am using Jpeg format.

One more thing I need to ask that if it is not possible simply to load the jpeg of size 1600x1200 then do I need to have separate jpeg decoder class? If yes then where can I find one which is faster and acquire less memory?
I am using a Jpeg decoder to load 1600x1200 jpeg image but it is too slow an it is taking about 54 seconds to decode one 1600x1200 image.

Kind regards

hi Muhhamad,

I wonder if something described here:
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/th...D=77126&#77126
and mentioned on FN:
http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...jpeg+thumbnail
can be implemented - in other words - if jpeg images on Nokia devices have thumb embedded in jpeg metadata,

regards,
Peter
