I have to show a bmp image in a Canvas, inside a frame. I tried to use Toolkit's getImage(String <filename> , but it didn't work... Actually I copied the code from an old post here at this forum. Here it is:

It compiles and run fine, but the image simply is not painted, and it actually exists (i get a true printed in the console). Why doesn't it work? How can it be done (without using an applet) ?
Thanks in advance...

The drawImage method of the graphics class returns a boolean if the image displayed. Try using it in a while loop:
while (!g.drawImage(......))
repaint;

I changed the paint() method as follows:

And all I got is hundreds of thousands of:
drawImage: false
drawImage: false
drawImage: false
drawImage: false
drawImage: false
Why??? What can be done? I really need this working! Please help me...
Thanks,

You are trying to draw the image before it is fully loaded. Use the MediaTracker to get when the image will be loaded, then draw it. Sun's documentation on java.awt.MediaTracker explains it very well.

I added this to my code. Everything compiled and ran fine, but still didn't show my image...


I got as output:
Error loading: true
which means that there was an error loading the image... I tried to use the getImage() method which takes an URL as parameter, like this:

instead of the tk.getImage("c:\\juba\\used.bmp");
Didn`t work yet... I think I'm gonna migrate to Swing... or even to C# (hehehe)
Am I attacking it the right way? I mean, is the problem actually in the path specification?
Anybody help, I need it deployed till tomorrow...
Thanks much!

Try this. Note that Balloon.jpg is in the same directory with ImageFrame.class.

Yes, it is valuable information. Thank you, It is just that we sometimes wonder whether people realise they are reopening such old threads.
