B4J Question B4J BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray ?

[somed3v3loper]

Hi all ,

Do we have an equivalent to this android method ? in Java or B4J

public static Bitmap decodeByteArray (byte[] data,
               int offset,
               int length)

Yes. Use BitmapCreator.

 

[somed3v3loper]

Yes. Use BitmapCreator.

Sorry I was not clear

fpdev.GetBmpImage(bmpdata,bmpsize);
                                    Bitmap bm1=BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(bmpdata, 0, 74806);

I want to use same in java (library ) or B4J
I hope this makes it a bit clearer

 

[Erel]

Not clear to me. What are you trying to do?

 

[somed3v3loper]

Not clear to me. What are you trying to do?

It is a sample from fingerprint reader/scanner

The code is from its sample in android
I am trying to convert it to java (b4j)

What is the format of the image stored in the data array?

What is the format of the image stored in the data array?

I am not sure which format and so I am just trying to convert android sample to Java.

In android the library depends on a .jar and .so and it worked for me
But Windows version calls .dll methods(WINAPI) and the sample included was for C# and I couldn't find any support searching internet.
I used jna and managed to get part of library working

Save the data with File.WriteBytes and upload the file.

Save the data with File.WriteBytes and upload the file.

Forum did not allowed me to upload it with image extension so I zipped it

 

[somed3v3loper]

I am not sure I am allowed to share this or not but I can't find any information or support for this device
This code is decompiled from their dll

 public int GetBmpImage(byte[] lpbmpdate, int[] lpsize)
  {
    lpsize[0] = 74806;
    memcpy(lpbmpdate, 0, this.bmpdata, 0, 74806);
    return 0;
  }

it might help you understand their way of retrieving Image

It is difficult to guess the format. Code to convert raw image data to bitmap:

Sub ConvertToBitmap (data() As Byte, mWidth As Int, mHeight As Int) As B4XBitmap
   Dim WriteableImage As JavaObject
   WriteableImage.InitializeNewInstance("javafx.scene.image.WritableImage", Array(mWidth, mHeight))
   Dim writer As JavaObject = WriteableImage.RunMethod("getPixelWriter", Null)
   Dim PixelFormat As JavaObject
   PixelFormat.InitializeStatic("javafx.scene.image.PixelFormat")
   writer.RunMethod("setPixels", Array(0, 0, mWidth, mHeight, PixelFormat.RunMethod("getByteRgbInstance", Null), _
       data, 0, mWidth * 3))
   Return WriteableImage
End Sub

For this to work correctly you need to know the format.

I think we are getting closer
The result does not seem to be the real fingerprint shown by the DrawImage method
