Class FileEncodedImage

java.lang.Object

com.codename1.components.FileEncodedImage

All Implemented Interfaces:

ActionSource

public final class FileEncodedImage
extends EncodedImage

An encoded image that stores the actual data of the encoded image in a disk file or resource and loads it only when necessary. The huge advantage is that RAM usage is practically none-existant, it is potentially very slow in worst case scenarios and has the other drawback of requiring the width/height in advanced to work properly.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static FileEncodedImage	create(String fileName, int width, int height)	Creates an encoded image that maps to a local file thus allowing to seamlessly fetch files as needed.
static FileEncodedImage	create(String fileName, int width, int height, boolean keep)	Creates an encoded image that maps to a local file thus allowing to seamlessly fetch files as needed.
static FileEncodedImage	create(String fileName, InputStream i, int width, int height)	Creates an encoded image that maps to a local file thus allowing to seamlessly fetch files as needed.
byte[]	getImageData()	Returns the byte array data backing the image allowing the image to be stored and discarded completely from RAM.

Method Details

create

public static FileEncodedImage create(String fileName,
 int width,
 int height)

Creates an encoded image that maps to a local file thus allowing to seamlessly fetch files as needed. This only works reasonably well for very small files.

Parameters

• fileName: the name of the file

• width: the width of the file or -1 if unknown (notice that this will improve performance)

• height: the height of the file or -1 if unknown (notice that this will improve performance)

Returns

image that will load the file seamlessly

create

public static FileEncodedImage create(String fileName,
 InputStream i,
 int width,
 int height)
                               throws IOException

Creates an encoded image that maps to a local file thus allowing to seamlessly fetch files as needed. This only works reasonably well for very small files. This version of the method creates the file from an input stream

Parameters

• fileName: the name of the file

• i: input stream from which to create the file

• width: the width of the file or -1 if unknown (notice that this will improve performance)

• height: the height of the file or -1 if unknown (notice that this will improve performance)

Returns

image that will load the file seamlessly

Throws:

IOException

create

public static FileEncodedImage create(String fileName,
 int width,
 int height,
 boolean keep)

Creates an encoded image that maps to a local file thus allowing to seamlessly fetch files as needed. This only works reasonably well for very small files.

Parameters

• fileName: the name of the file

• width: the width of the file or -1 if unknown (notice that this will improve performance)

• height: the height of the file or -1 if unknown (notice that this will improve performance)

• keep: if set to true keeps the file in RAM once loaded

Returns

image that will load the file seamlessly

getImageData

public byte[] getImageData()

Returns the byte array data backing the image allowing the image to be stored and discarded completely from RAM.

Returns

byte array used to create the image, e.g. encoded PNG, JPEG etc.

Overrides:
