Hi,

I want to read the images saved in the device and display on canvas of my application.
I am able to read the image stream using fileconnection api.
I could suceffully create the connection, read the stream and also the file size.

But when I try to create image using Image.createImage(InputStream is) or createImage(bytearray,offset,size)
methods, I am facing exceptions. (out of memory,IOException,IlegalArgumentException).
The problem is with the image sizes.

Did any one face such problems?
I would be happy if anyone has solutions for this problem..
Waiting for the replies.

Ur question is ur answer. The exception shows that heap size is not sufficient to load the image.. which device r u using. Please check ur code with some high end set. check for any object created in a loop. Please avoid that if is it so. If still u got the same error with high end sets then please post ur code here.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply,
I checked the app in Nokia6681 and Nokia N95 as well.
Same problem exists.

below is the code :

public void readImage(String imgPath)
{
try
{

FileConnection fileConn =(FileConnection)Connector.open(imgPath);
System.gc();
InputStream fis = fileConn.openInputStream();
long overallSize = fileConn.fileSize();
System.out.println("overallSize:" + overallSize);
System.gc();
currentImage = Image.createImage(fis);
fis.close();
fileConn.close();
System.gc();
repaint();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
System.out.println("io exception : " + e);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();

}

}

What do you mean by "big"? I'd guess you're running out of memory.

Cheers,

The problem arises with images of size 200KB and more.
I faced problem with image of size 285 KB.

[grahamhughes]

What is the size of the images, in pixels?

[mamatha_j2me]

Image size: 373KB
Pixels : 1280x960

[grahamhughes]

And... how many such images do you load at once? An image of 1280x960 on a reasonably new phone will require around 5Mb of memory.

Also: what format(s) are the images?

If you embed the image files in the application's JAR, and use Image.createImage(filename), do you have the same problem(s)?

Cheers,
Graham.

I think there is a heap issue tht's why its throwing error. Try this with images having less size(less than 200).
