Networking question from Jonathan Knudsen - Beginning J2ME..

[sab son]

Hi Ranchers,

Need help with Li and Knudsen's 'Begining J2ME , from novice to professional'.

Chapter 10 - Image loader example (page 148).
In order to render the PNG image on the phone, ImageLoader -URL, MIDlet propert has to be modified to a valid PNG image a URL.

I used the URL as in the following code snippet:

public void run() {
HttpConnection hc = null;
DataInputStream in = null;

try {
String url = getAppProperty("http://r0k.us/graphics/images/4kSnake.png");
hc = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url);
int length = (int)hc.getLength();
byte[] data = null;
if (length != -1) {
data = new byte[length];
in = new DataInputStream(hc.openInputStream());
in.readFully(data);
}...........

As the link given in book is not working. The code compiles with no issues but when I run this on my WTK25 simulator, at run time is complains of illegal argument exception. How do I change the MIDlet property ImageLoader-URL? to render the image on simulator or a real java device?

thanks,
-Sab
