ImageIcon and the Media Library

Classic Servoy
1

Packages.javax.swing.ImageIcon(‘media:///myImage.png’)

This does not appear to work…any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to load an image from the media library into a Java ImageIcon object.

Thanks in advance

and what do you do with the imageIcon object then inside Servoy? Anyway, the ImageIcon constructor expects a URL object, so you cannot provide a URL as String, I think. It should work if you get a URL like that (Java):

URL url = new URL("media://test.png");
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(url);

Hope this helps

In this case I am using it as the tiling image for a matteborder / borderfactory.

This lets me tile images from the media library in a java border…thx

I notice you are using new URL, which would imply you have imported. How do you import from within Servoy?

5

It’s java.net.URL…

Right, but is it possible to do

import Packages.java.net

new URL?

If so, what is the syntax from within servoy to do the import? I have not had much luck with “import”

it should work just like you tried above

Packages.java.net.URL(“media:…”)
