about EncodedImage in Blackberry

Question

Suppose i have an animated GIF image name test.GIF added to my project in BlackBerry JDE to be used in AnimatedGIFField class. and now i need to convert it to Encoded image. In the reference it is given to create encoded image the following function

public static EncodedImage createEncodedImage(byte[] data, int offset, int length)

Plz give me the code to convert test.GIF to encoded image????

Answer 1

By the way, casting EncodedImage to GIFEncodedImage fails on OS7. You have to rename your gif extension to .agif to make it work.

Answer 2

use this code

EncodedImage encImg = GIFEncodedImage.getEncodedImageResource("test.gif");

if you need GIFEncodedImage then cast encImg to GIFEncodedImage.

GIFEncodedImage img = (GIFEncodedImage) encImg;
