How load javafx.scene.image.Image by demand?

Question

Is it possible to discard loaded content of Image and later load it again? Is it possible to load it on demand?

Can I have ImageView which loads it\'s image only on show

Answer 1

It is best practice to have your images loaded before they are displayed!

If you wish to get rid of the image simply set the image to null! But you will then have ro reinitialize that image in order to be able to view! I do not recommend this!

If you will reuse that image just keep it memory! Load it once and use it on unlimited imageViews!
