displaying image in jlabel

The Image class has a method getScaledInstance() that may help.

Is contact.getImage() an Image? If so find its width and height, then determine

a scale factor that will fit the image within your maximum desired width

and height. Finally create the icon using getScaledInstance().

I've never done this (convert a byte array to an image), so I thought I'd have a go...import java.awt.Image;

import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;

import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;

import java.io.File;

import java.io.FileInputStream;

import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

import javax.swing.ImageIcon;

public class ImageTest {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

// Grab some image...

File inFile = new File("resources/imageH.jpg");

int len = (int)inFile.length();

System.out.printf("file length = %d%n", len);

FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(inFile);

// ... and create a byte array for testing

byte[] byteArray = new byte[len];

int num = in.read(byteArray);

in.close();

System.out.printf("bytes read = %d%n", num);

// (1) Create an image from the byte array - I don't

// know Imagio figures out what sort of image it is!

BufferedImage im = ImageIO.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(byteArray));

int w = im.getWidth();

int h = im.getHeight();

System.out.printf("width = %d, height = %d", w, h);

// (2) Scale to fit 100x100

if(w > h) {

w = (100 * w) / h;

h = 100;

} else {

h = (100 * h) / h;

w = 100;

}

System.out.printf(" --> %d,%d%n", w, h);

// (3) And create the icon

ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(im.getScaledInstance(w, h, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH));

System.out.printf("The icon is: %s%n", icon);

}

}

The output isfile length = 54918

bytes read = 54918

width = 500, height = 300 --> 166,100

The icon is: javax.swing.ImageIcon@5afd29Assuming your byte array is some (to ImageIO) recognisable image format, something

similar should work for you.
