Hi

Side info - The blackberry browser has a nice feature in which it allows you to scroll an image vertically and horizontally smoothly with the wheel. It also allows you to save an image so that it can be viewed later.

Having said that, given an image that I have retrieved via my application and storing it in an array of bytes, I want to now display it on the browser so that I use that nice image manipulation and saving feature.

and oh, my images are .png

(Why invent the wheel when its allready been invented)

Any guesses on how to approach this problem will be helpful

Thanks

you need help to display the image? luckily i've just done this for another application, this should grab your image byte data and reassemble it to screen:

String bites = (String) store.getContents();
byte bytes[] = bites.getBytes();
Bitmap pngImg = Bitmap.createBitmapFromPNG(bytes,0,bytes.length);
myscreen.add(new BitmapField(pngImg));

Thank you for answering. I have done that earlier, but it does not have the feature that allows me to move through the screen with my wheel to view a large image.

Example: Open a large image on the blackberry browser, you can press CONTROL and scroll using the wheel, you will scroll horizonatlly, without the CONTROL you will scroll vertically... etc. this is the main feature that i want to be able to perform.

ahh right, the answer may be to use net.rim.device.api.browser.field

that way you can display browser data in your apps, not tried it but it may mimic the behaviour you're after by default. other than that you may have to get dirty and knee deep in code.

Do you know of any other libraries where such a functionalty exist
(Other than using a browser)
