JavaFX not able to read images

[ajeeb]

Hi,
My javafx code is not able to read image and hence not able to display it on runtime. Am using Net Beans IDE. Other nodes (Circle & Text are appearing fine). Any ideas please ?
Code:

package test2;

import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.image.Image;
import javafx.scene.image.ImageView;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.shape.Circle;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

Stage {
    title: "Group-Nodes-Transformation"
    scene: Scene {
        width: 600
        height: 600
        content: Group {
            content: [
                Circle {
                    centerX: 300
                    centerY: 300
                    radius: 250
                    fill: Color.WHITE
                    stroke: Color.BLACK
                },
                Text {
                    x: 300
                    y: 300
                    content: "Mr. Duke"
                },
                ImageView {
                    image: Image {
                        url: "D:\\TEST\\Documents\\duke.png"
                        width:50
                        height:50
                    }
                }
            ]//content
        }//Group
    }//Scene
}//Stage

Hey ajeeb,

I don't know whether you got the answer for this question elsewhere. I joined this forum just yesterday. Although your post is quite old I thought of answering bcoz no one else has answered.
Answer is quite simple. "url" instance varable does not support system paths. So JavaFX provides "fromBuffereImage(java.awt.image.BufferedImage ): Image" method which has a BufferedImage argument and returns a JavaFX Image object.
You have to modify your code as follows:

package test2;

import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.image.Image;
import javafx.scene.image.ImageView;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.shape.Circle;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
//Add imports for ImageIO, File, BufferedImage

var img = Image {};

Stage {
title: "Group-Nodes-Transformation"
scene: Scene {
width: 600
height: 600
content: Group {
content: [
Circle {
centerX: 300
centerY: 300
radius: 250
fill: Color.WHITE
stroke: Color.BLACK
},
Text {
x: 300
y: 300
content: "Mr. Duke"
},
ImageView {
image: img.fromBufferedImage(ImageIO.read(new File("D:\\TEST\\Documents\\duke.png")));
}
]//content
}//Group
}//Scene
}//Stage

just make a url out of the url like
url: "file:\D:\\TEST\\Documents\\duke.png"

and it will work. At least on windows. On Linux I am still working to get this running.
