Convert bitmap to base64 string in blackberry

Question

I have an image which needs to be sent to the server. Is there a way to convert a bitmap(jpg) to base64 string in blackberry?

Answer 1

What you request is a bit vague and odd, however I hope this can help:

With the following piece code it's possible to get a JPEG binary data for a Bitmap (note, it is a compressed one, so the size of the data is as small as possible if compare to raw bitmap):

Bitmap bmp = ...; // your bitmap
int quality = 85;
EncodedImage encodedImg = JPEGEncodedImage.encode(bmp, quality);
byte[] data = encodedImg.getData();

Then you can encode it with Base64OutputStream. See the API for sample code on how to encode.
