How to read an image file from the JAR

To read an image file from the JAR to an Image object, you should use this code:

try {
   Image logo = Image.createImage("/path_to_the_image");
}
catch (java.io.IOException e) {
   System.err.println("Image read error");
}

Remember:

• You must use the first slash "/" to refer to the root of the JAR file.
• You must include the image in the project to be included in the JAR file by the IDE you are using.
• To be 100% standard to all devices, the image should be in PNG format. Many Nokia devices supports GIF, JPG and BMP to.
