Want to Load an Image

I'm trying to load an image into Image type variable for the past 2 days a get to here.

import java.awt.*;
import java.net.URL;
import java.applet.Applet;

public class Board{
//Internal Col
URL url = new URL("c:/Image/board.gif");
Image pict;
//Class Contructor
public Board(){
pict = getImage(url);
}
//an a few methods in here.
}

the error that i'm getting is:
The Method getImage(URL) is undefined for the type Board

Probably I'm missing something in the beginning, like importing something
if anyone knows which package a should import please tell me.

The getImage() method does not exist in the class Board. That's why you are getting that exception. Since you've imported the Applet class I'll assume that's what you are trying to make. getImage() is a method of the Applet class so have Board extend Applet and try again.

Moving this to the applets forum...

Now is the part in Bold the one not working, when I add the "extends Applet"
to my class, I lost the import java.net.URL, why is that, there is a way to solve this?

package classes;

import java.awt.*;
import java.net.URL;
import java.applet.Applet;

public class Persona extends Applet {
//Colaboradores Internos
URL url = new URL("c:/Imagen/placa.gif");
Image foto;
String nombre;
String apellido;
String sector;
String cargo;
String horaEntrada;
String horaSalida;
char estado;
Time fyHActual = new Time();
//Contructor
public Persona (){

nombre = "Juan";
apellido = "Tibaldi";
sector = "Sistemas";
cargo = "Soporte Tecnico de Distrito Sur";
horaEntrada = fyHActual.now();
horaSalida = fyHActual.now();
estado = 'V';
foto = getImage(url);

}

Yea, retype it?

Let's do it simple anyone knows how to load an image in java.

//  <applet code="LoadingAppletImages"
//          width="450" height="180"></applet>
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.applet.Applet;
 
public class LoadingAppletImages extends Applet {
    public void init() {
        // Image file is in the "images" folder
        // which is in the current directory.
        String path = "images/Bird.gif";
        setLayout(new GridLayout(1,0));
        Image image1 = getAppletImage(path);
        add(new ImagePanel(image1));
        Image image2 = getToolkitImage(path);
        add(new ImagePanel(image2));
        Image image3 = getNewerImage(path);
        add(new ImagePanel(image3));
    }
 
    private Image getAppletImage(String path) {
        Image image = getImage(getCodeBase(), path);
        loadImage(image);
        return image;
    }
 
    private Image getToolkitImage(String path) {
        // image file must be on classpath for this
        URL url = getClass().getResource(path);
        Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(url);
        loadImage(image);
        return image;
    }
 
    private void loadImage(Image image) {
        MediaTracker tracker = new MediaTracker(this);
        tracker.addImage(image, 0);
        try {
            tracker.waitForID(0);
        } catch(InterruptedException e) {
            System.err.println("loading interrupted");
        }
        if(tracker.isErrorAny()) {
            System.out.println("image loading status = " +
                                tracker.statusID(0, false));
        }
    }
 
    private Image getNewerImage(String path) {
        java.awt.image.BufferedImage image = null;
        try {
            URL url = getClass().getResource(path);
            image = javax.imageio.ImageIO.read(url);
        } catch(IOException e) {
            System.err.println("read error: " + e.getMessage());
        }
        return image;
    }
 
    private class ImagePanel extends Panel {
        Image image;
        Dimension size;
 
        ImagePanel(Image image) {
            this.image = image;
            size = new Dimension(image.getWidth(this),
                                 image.getHeight(this));
        }
 
        public void paint(Graphics g) {
            g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, this);
        }
 
        public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
            return size;
        }
    }
