hello guys is there anyway to store an image in the recordstore... i wrote a program to take pictures using phone camera... i want to store it in memory so that i can retrieve it in future.. but as record store allows only data in byte format i want to know how i can convert image to bytes so that i can store it in recordstore...

There u go--->

public boolean cacheImages(String ImageName,Image img)
{
int width = img.getWidth();
int height = img.getHeight();
byte[] outputRecord;
ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
DataOutputStream outputDataStream =new DataOutputStream(outputStream);
int[] imgRgbData = new int[img.getWidth() * img.getHeight()];

try {

img.getRGB(imgRgbData, 0, width, 0, 0, width, height);

} catch (Exception e) {
// Problem getting image RGB data
}
try {
// Write image data to output stream (in order to get
// the record bytes in needed form)
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(baos);
dos.writeUTF(ImageName);

for (int i = 0; i < imgRgbData.length; i++) {
dos.writeInt(imgRgbData[i]);
}

// Open record store, create if it doesn't exist
rms.addRecord(baos.toByteArray(), 0,baos.toByteArray().length); // Add record


} catch (RecordStoreException rse) {
// Other record storage problem
return false;
} catch (IOException ioe) {
// Problem writing data
return false;
}

return true;
}


Write the image in a byte array format. Also store the image name, and the form factor(width, height) as they will be usefull while reading the images from the rms.

Hope this helps

Hii Nimesh,
it is not wise to store images in record store because of the size limit.Just store these images in the phones and just store the URL of these images in the record store...I think this is very better when compared to the other one.
Thanks
