Creating a jpeg file: "no preview available"

[ScottVal]

Hello-
When I create a jpeg file within a java program, and then (I'm using Windows) go to look at it, I can see it just fine with the thumbnail in my Windows folder, but if I open the file with the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, it says "no preview available," and doesn't display the image.

Here's my code:

Iterator iter = ImageIO.getImageWritersByFormatName("jpeg");
ImageWriter writer = (ImageWriter) iter.next();

// instantiate an ImageWriteParam object with default compression options
ImageWriteParam iwp = writer.getDefaultWriteParam();

iwp.setCompressionMode(ImageWriteParam.MODE_EXPLIC IT);
iwp.setCompressionQuality(1); // an integer between 0 and 1
// 1 specifies minimum compression and maximum quality

FileImageOutputStream output = new FileImageOutputStream(file);
writer.setOutput(output);
IIOImage im = new IIOImage(image, null, null);
writer.write(null, im, iwp);
writer.dispose();
writer = (ImageWriter) iter.next(); // Force closing of the writer

Btw, I get an exception on that last line (the "next" call), NoSuchElementException. Maybe it's related?

I would guess you should close the writer.

Why don't you search the web for examples. You know the method names you are trying to use, so use the method names as keywords and see what you find.
