Question

I cannot load the image from url and play into my listfield

ImageLoader class

public class Util_ImageLoader {
    public static Bitmap getImageFromUrl(String url) {
        Bitmap bitmap = null;

        try {
            String bitmapData = getDataFromUrl(url);
            bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmapFromBytes(bitmapData.getBytes(), 0,
                    bitmapData.length(), 1);
        } catch (Exception e1) {
            e1.printStackTrace();
        }

        return bitmap;
    }

    private static String getDataFromUrl(String url) {
        StringBuffer b = new StringBuffer();
        InputStream is = null;
        HttpConnection c = null;

        long len = 0;
        int ch = 0;

        try {
            c = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url);

            is = c.openInputStream();
            len = c.getLength();
            if (len != -1) {
                for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
                    if ((ch = is.read()) != -1) {
                        b.append((char) ch);
                    }
            } else {
                while ((ch = is.read()) != -1) {
                    len = is.available();
                    b.append((char) ch);
                }
            }

            is.close();
            c.close();

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return b.toString();
    }
}

ListField class

image = new BitmapField(Util_ImageLoader.getImageFromUrl(
    "http://www.orientaldaily.com.my/images/articles/4_APRIL_BLACK_copy.jpg"),
    Field.FIELD_HCENTER | Field.FIELD_VCENTER);
row.add(image);
field = getField(3);
layoutChild(field, 100, 80);
setPositionChild(field, getPreferredWidth() - 105, 5);

You need to add connection extension to Your Url.

like if wifi then “;interface=wifi”

Example: c = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url+";interface=wifi");

Using perfect connection perameter

c = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url+getConnParam());

code sample for getting connection extension:

public static String getConnParam(){
        String connectionParameters = "";
        if (WLANInfo.getWLANState() == WLANInfo.WLAN_STATE_CONNECTED) {
        // Connected to a WiFi access point
        connectionParameters = ";interface=wifi";
        } else {
        int coverageStatus = CoverageInfo.getCoverageStatus();
        ServiceRecord record = getWAP2ServiceRecord();
        if (record != null
        && (coverageStatus & CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_DIRECT) ==
        CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_DIRECT) {
        // Have network coverage and a WAP 2.0 service book record
        connectionParameters = ";deviceside=true;ConnectionUID="
        + record.getUid();
        } else if ((coverageStatus & CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_MDS) ==
        CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_MDS) {
        // Have an MDS service book and network coverage
        connectionParameters = ";deviceside=false";
        } else if ((coverageStatus & CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_DIRECT) ==
        CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_DIRECT) {
        // Have network coverage but no WAP 2.0 service book record
        connectionParameters = ";deviceside=true";
        }

    }
        return connectionParameters;
    }
