Hi,
i want to have a little image before each item in the ListField. I tried this one here:

import net.rim.device.api.ui.Graphics;
/*...*/
private static final Bitmap myIcon = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("icon.gif");
/*...*/
String fieldOne = new String("Zeile 1");
        String fieldTwo = new String("Zeile 2");
        ListField myList = new ListField();
        ListCallback myCallback = new ListCallback();
        myList.setCallback(myCallback);
        myList.insert(0);
        myList.insert(1);
        myList.insert(2);
        myCallback.insert(fieldOne,0);
        myCallback.insert(fieldTwo,1);
        myCallback.insert(fieldOne,2);
        add(myList);
/*...*/
private static class ListCallback implements ListFieldCallback {
        private Vector listElements = new Vector();
        public void drawListRow(ListField list, Graphics g, int index, int y,int w) {
            Graphics tmp = new Graphics(myIcon);
            //img.
            String text = (String)listElements.elementAt(index);
                      
            Image source; // the image to be copied
            source = Image.createImage(myIcon);
            g.drawImage(source,0,y,0);
            g.drawText(text,15,y,0,w);           
        }

But the compiler don't like the two rows

Image source; // the image to be copied
source = Image.createImage(myIcon);

if i use the var tmp then the compiler don't like this row:

g.drawImage(tmp,0,y,0);

cannot find symbol
symbol : method drawImage(net.rim.device.api.ui.Graphics,int,int,i nt)
location: class net.rim.device.api.ui.Graphics

so how can i put this little image before the text of an item?

There are two Graphics classes in J2ME/RIM libraries:

* the one you're using from RIM
* the "original" class from J2ME SDK: javax.microedition.lcdui.Graphics

Looks like you looked up drawImage() prototype for the latter one and actually tried to use the former. Use the RIM class and it should resolve your issues.

Can anyone out here please help me out in resolving my image problem.
i'm not able to code for the splash scrren.please help mem out with the complete source code of the splash screen java class.i'm really in trouble ands highly confused.i'm a beginner.
please anyone out here help me out

How do i use the RIM class?
I see I'm using two different image-types, but how can i convert my image into the right one?

just add a .png to your project, create the image in the class constructor using:

Bitmap mybitmap = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("myimage.png");

then in your drawlistrow method use something like:

graphics.drawBitmap(0, y, 18, rowHeight, mybitmap, 0, 0);

ok, i tried this one here:

      private static class ListCallback implements ListFieldCallback {
        private Vector listElements = new Vector();
        public void drawListRow(ListField list, Graphics g, int index, int y,int w) {
            Graphics tmp = new Graphics(myIcon);
            Bitmap mybitmaP = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("icon.gif");
            String text = (String)listElements.elementAt(index);
            //Image source; // the image to be copied
            //source = Image.createImage(myIcon);
            //g.drawImage(source,0,y,0);
            //g.drawImage(tmp,0,y,0);
            g.drawImage(mybitmaP,0,0,0);
            g.drawText(text,15,y,0,w);
        }

But my lovely compiler said:

cannot find symbol
symbol : method drawImage(net.rim.device.api.system.Bitmap,int,int ,int)
location: class net.rim.device.api.ui.Graphics
g.drawImage(mybitmaP,0,0,0);

so I think I have to change mybitmaP into a Graphic (Typ Graphics) or so...

how do I change the Type of my bitmap or how do I convert a Bitmap into a Graphics?

thx hibbert

1. Open your JDE
2. Press Shift-F1
3. Search for Graphics class (make sure you're looking at the RIM native class help)
4. Look up the prototype for drawImage() method
5. Write your code to to confirm to that prototype

ok, i looked at it, but i can't make me a cake out of it
But i don't know why, now it works, I used the same code as the last time....
hmm ok now it works

thx so far for your help
