Here's how you would do it if the Image was a resource file of the application:
byte[] imgData = null;
InputStream in = Application.getApplication().
getClass().getResourceAsStream(imgName);
if(in == null) {
// Handle appropriately
}
try {
int length = in.available();
imgData = new byte[length];
in.read(bytes, 0, length);
} finally {
in.close();
}
if(imgData == null) {
// Handle appropriately
}
EncodedImage encodedImage =
EncodedImage.createEncodedImage(imgData, 0, imgData.length);
You could also pass a String as a parameter to define the MIME type. These are the supported MIME types:
"image/gif"
"image/png"
"image/vnd.wap.wbmp"
"image/jpeg" (supported only on Colour devices)
"image/jpg" (supported only on Colour devices)
"image/pjpeg" (supported only on Colour devices)
"image/bmp"
"image/tiff"
Finally, here's the documentation for 4.5: [EncodedImage Javadocs 4.5][1]
