Where are you trying to read the image from ? 1. If it is packaged with your apk, you can retrieve it by accessing the Resources. Resources res = mContext.getResources(); Drawable myImage = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.my_image); It can also be done all in XML. There is more info here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/2d-graphics.html
2. If it is part of the MediaStore (which has access to images on the device's internal and external storage devices like the SDCARD) MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(...) 3. If you are trying to download it from a server, you would need to use something like shown here.. http://getablogger.blogspot.com/2008/01/android-download-image-from-server-and.html Where are you trying to display the image ? You can check out using ImageView or using the draw methods to create a Custom View. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ImageView.html http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html Hope this helps, Balwinder Kaur Open Source Development Center ·T· · ·Mobile· stick together The views, opinions and statements in this email are those of the author solely in their individual capacity, and do not necessarily represent those of T-Mobile USA, Inc. ldo <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > i want to write an application which can display an image > (jpeg,png...) . as a begginer i dont know which are the api's that can > be used .could you give me your valuable suggestions . --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
