How to take a Snapshot in J2me with the MMAPI while using LWUIT

Question

I want to make an application that takes a snapshot from Camera and send it to the server. I can do this pretty easily in Highlevel UI using MediaPlayer but it seem that I can't use the same code in LWUIT.

VideoControl vc;

Item videoItem = (Item) vc.initDisplayMode(vc.USE_GUI_PRIMITIVE, null);

Since it didn't work I used the MediaComponent.

MediaComponent videoItem =  (MediaComponent) vc.initDisplayMode(vc.USE_GUI_PRIMITIVE, null);

but it didn't work either. A class cast exception is thrown. Can you please tell me how to implement it.

@Duli-chan : can you give your code for sending the image to the server because I am working on a project for doing the same thing. Thanks — , Aug 12 '11 at 05:37

You don't need to call initDisplayMode for LWUIT. This is invoked internally by LWUIT, just add the video item to the LWUIT Form and the initDisplayMode method will be invoked for you.

How do I add it though? Calling new on MediaComponent? – Chan Aug 13 '11 at 16:40
There is some sample code in this LWUIT issue http://java.net/jira/browse/LWUIT-57 (that issue is resolved already). – Shai Almog Aug 14 '11 at 03:55
