B4J Question Work with Images on a jServer

[b4x-de]

My users upload photos to a jServer WebApp. Before storing a photo, I would like to remove all meta data i.e. GPS location, camera model from EXIF. Therefore, I try to convert JPG to PNG by using this simple code:

 Dim insPhoto As InputStream
 Dim imgPhoto As Image
 Dim outPhoto As OutputStream

' Read Source, i.e. JPG
insPhoto = File.OpenInput(strDirSource, strFileSource)
imgPhoto.Initialize2(insPhoto)

' Write as PNG without EXIF metadata
outPhoto = File.OpenOutput(strDirTarget, strFileTarget, False)
imgPhoto.WriteToStream(outPhoto)

The code compiles with jFX but it fails at runtime because jFX can not be used on a jServer:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/scene/image/Image
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javafx.scene.image.Image

How can I convert a JPG to PNG on a jServer? How can I work with Images in general on a jServer (i.e. resize, rotate)?

would this do it for you https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...s-image-also-some-basic-image-filters.130857/

Thank you! I can confirm, it works with jServer. But unfortunately it is very slow. Is there some faster and lightweight way without tons of external libraries?

I remember Erel has an example with jServer loading UI app to generate QR code. Try to find it and use the same concept.

You can use the library to convert jpg to png

Sub ConvertImage (InputDir As String, InputFile As String, OutputDir As String, OutputFile As String) As Boolean
    Try
        If InputFile = "" Or File.Exists(InputDir, InputFile) = False Then
            Log("File not found")
            Return False
        End If

        Dim jo As JavaObject = Me
        jo.RunMethod("ConvertJpg2Png", Array(File.Combine(InputDir, InputFile), File.Combine(OutputDir, OutputFile)))
        Return True
    Catch
        Log(LastException)
    End Try
    Return False
End Sub

#If Java
    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
    import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
    
    // Convert jpg to png
    public static void ConvertJpg2Png (String input, String output) throws Exception
    {
        BufferedImage originalImage = ImageIO.read(new File(input));
        File file = new File(output);
        ImageIO.write(originalImage, "png", file);
    }
#End If

Dim success As Boolean = ConvertImage(File.DirApp, "MyPhoto.jpg", File.DirApp, "MyPhoto.png")
Log(success)
