Reading an Image from a File, InputStream, or URL
This example demonstrates how to use the javax.imageio package to
read an image from a file, input stream, or URL. The example also
demonstrates how to display the image on the screen.
GIF, PNG, and JPEG formats are supported by the
javax.imageio package by default.
This example works only in J2SE 1.4. For a method that works
since J2SE 1.3, see Reading an Image or Icon from a File.
Image image = null;
try {
// Read from a file
File file = new File("image.gif");
image = ImageIO.read(file);
// Read from an input stream
InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(
new FileInputStream("image.gif"));
image = ImageIO.read(is);
// Read from a URL
URL url = new URL("http://hostname.com/image.gif");
image = ImageIO.read(url);
} catch (IOException e) {
}
// Use a label to display the image
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
JLabel label = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(image));
frame.getContentPane().add(label, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
thanx a lot it really helped me
thanx... would you by any chance help me to make the image resize according to the size of the frame?
new FileInputStream("image.gif")); results in FileNotFound exception. Help?
To the poster on Jul 12, image.gif needs to be located in your root directory. Otherwise just specify path to the image: new FileInputStream("/images/navigation/back.gif")); or whatever the path is relative to your root directory.
