Display Image

[Stuartdotclass]

How to display an image in Codenameone without the GUI builder? i failed understand the logic of the gui builder and i decided to keep coding the way i am best at,
manually. usually i do this in java:

 private BufferedImage image;

    public ImagePanel() {
       try {                
          image = ImageIO.read(new File("image name and path"));
       } catch (IOException ex) {
            // handle exception...
       }
    }

    @Override
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        super.paintComponent(g);
        g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, null); // see javadoc for more info on the parameters            
    }
what is the equivalent in codenameone? how do i position it manually the to the (x,y) i want?

Its best to store images in the resource file but you can store them in the root of your src directory too.
For a resource file open the file once:
Resource r = Resources.open("theme.res");

Image i = r.getImage("imageName");


for a file in the root:
Image i = Image.createImage("/fileName.png");

Its best not to override paint or define a painter in Codename One, you can show an image either by setting an icon to a label or by setting it as a bgImage to a style object e.g. component.getUnselectedStyle().setBgImage(...);

place base.png under src/ folder and check if the images are in the jar file.

thanks. it is working. only a bit of visual traces like dust after firing an event, but i think it is from the simulator. i am getting a lot less stressed, i feel like calming now. thanks a lot for your support. i think i will be able to do more practice now. thanks

When using a Label to display an image, do I have the option to a) fit the image into a size construing, b) display at full pixel ratio, c) scroll the image? 

(In fact, at least in the simulator b) is what happens, but I can't figure out how to scroll around.)

Thanks!

Aaaand answering myself:

looks like the label should be surrounded by a Container that is set to have Scrollable X and Y.

Simple enough, just need to throw enough containers into the mix at every point.
