How to access image stored in Blackberry using Bitmap.getBitmapResource() ?

[Shreyas]

I want to access an image stored in Blackberry, say at location "store/home/user/image.png" .

Now can i access this image as,

String filePath = "file:///store/home/user/image.png;
Bitmap image = Bitmap.getBitmapResource(filePath);
BitmapField bitmapField = new BitmapField(image, BitmapField.FOCUSABLE);

OR

I have to access it as,

String filePath = "file:///store/home/user/image.png;
  FileConnection fconn = (FileConnection)Connector.open(filePath, Connector.READ); 
  if (fconn.exists()) 
  {
                ........
                ........                           

     input.close();
     fconn.close();                            

  }

I am able to access the image using the second way but I want to know that can I access it using "Bitmap.getBitmapResource(filePath)" ?
