Setting encoding type in Photo field

[Sachin Gupta]

Hi Mike,

I am trying to generate a Photo field in the vcard with encoding as Base64 or bin.

Sample: PHOTO;TYPE=JPEG;ENCODING=BASE64:

Can you please guide me on how to achieve this?

I was able to set the type=jpeg, but could not set the encoding=base64.

Also the photo field gets dumped with VALUE=url:

Can i suppress this anyhow?

Regards

Sachin

Infact i am not even getting the field JPEG as type=jpeg.

It simply dumps as PHOTO;JPEG;VALUE=url:

Instead required as PHOTO;ENCODING=BASE64;TYPE=JPEG:MIICajCCAdOgAwIBAgI…

Can you post your code?

Hi Mike,

PFB the code.

byte buffer[]=FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(f);

String ascii=Base64.encodeBase64String(buffer);

photo = new Photo(ascii, ImageType.JPEG);

Using apache commons apis to encode the image in base 64 and then setting it into Photo.

With this getting the vcard entry as:

PHOTO;JPEG;VALUE=url:/9j/4A...

Sachin,

You do not need to convert the photo's binary data into a base64 string.  ez-vcard does this automatically when the vCard is written.  Simply pass the raw byte array into the Photo constructor.

byte buffer[]=FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(f);

photo = new Photo(buffer, ImageType.JPEG);

I mean, like this

PHOTO;TYPE=JPEG:ENCODING=BASE64

[Sachin Gupta]

And what do i need to do to set the photo field in bin mode instead the base64 encoding? There seems to be an encoding property, but that seems to be for the whole vcard.

The value of the ENCODING parameter varies depending on the vCard version.  Version 2.1 uses "base64", while version 3.0 uses "b".
