problem with reading .bmp file

[raddic]

Currently I'm using imageIO.read() to read image files but it seems not to be working for bmp files.


BufferedImage strawImage = ImageIO.read(new File("strawberry.jpg"));
if(strawImage == null) System.out.println ("Image jpg read error");


BufferedImage appleImage = ImageIO.read(new File("apple.bmp"));
if(appleImage == null) System.out.println ("Image bmp read error");


it returns "Image bmp read error", which means it read the jpg, but not the bmp. I tried displaying them as Frame, and jpg shows up well, while bmp doesn't.

Does anyone know why? I'm stuck plz help me~

Hi Raddic

I don't know exactly, how it is with new version of java.
Previous versions were supporting JPEG, GIF and PNG formats only
Maybe you will find a proper library to load BMP images here:
