I've been trying to load a png image.
but somehow my program only catches IOException which means it couldn't find it.
I'm writing a program for Nokia 6310i using its emulator and Sun Forte 4.
I've checked Tool -> Create Application Package and can see the image file there. but it doesn't appear when I run the emulator.
this is my directory structure where test has three Java source file and res contains the image file

project\test
project\res

please help.

thanks

Hello,

There are three possible pitfalls you might have fallen into:

1. You should refer to the image with an absolute path

Reading image:
public class ImageCanvas extends Canvas {
Image picture;
public ImageCanvas () {
try {
picture = Image.createImage("/thal.png");
}
catch (IOException ioe) {}
}


Reading text file:

InputStream is;
byte[] baText = null;
try {
is = Class.forName("java.lang.Object").getResourceAsStream ("/myFile.txt");
// or is = this.getResourceAsStream("/myFile.txt");
}
catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {}
// Read menu file into byte array
try {
is.read(baMenu);
}
catch (IOException ioe) {/* Some kind of Alert here if file not found*/}
finally {
try {
is.close();
}
catch (IOException ioe) { /* Close failed */ }
}

2. Check that the file name is written exactly right in your program (lower case/ upper case characters)

3. Check that you have actually included the resource file in your jar file (double-click the jar file and check contents)

Hi pbergius,

I had tried that code, but I had caught an error:

teszt001.java [19:18] cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method getResourceAsStream (java.lang.String)
location: class teszt001
is = this.getResourceAsStream("/myFile.txt");
1 error
Errors compiling teszt001.

Correctly, in my opinion:
is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/myFile.txt");

I'm using Forte for Java, Mobile Edition v.4.0. (WinXP HU)
