Greetings,


I would like my program to email an image file that I have created. Currently, it is a Bitmap and I am able to obtain the raw data through getARGB. However, I am unsure about how to transfer the data.

The getARGB function provides an integer array with the raw data of the image. However, the outputstream functions use a byte array. Does anyone know how to output the data or create an image file that can be attached to an email message?

Hello ,
I m not sure that it is going to help you or not. But i finds a chance with outputStream .. Using dataoutputStream we can write integer also.. Did you tried using that.

Thanks for the suggestions Rose. OutputStream ignores the top 24-bits so it won't work. However, DataOutputStream can output integers. Although I am able to output the raw data, I am now encountering the problem of displaying the image.

The getARGB function returns a rather large data array without a Bitmap header. Consequently, the receiver cannot view the image. Is there a means to serialize the Bitmap object as a data array or does anyone have code for converting an image from a raw file to a bitmap, jpeg, png, etc?

Basically, the end goal is to send a Bitmap/Image object to someone else through either email or mms. I'm thinking that I may have to write a function to add back the header information but perhaps someone has a better solution? Thanks.
