(throws IOException)
Image image = null;
try {
URL url = new URL("http://www.yahoo.com/image_to_read.jpg");
image = ImageIO.read(url);
} catch (IOException e) {
}
See javax.imageio
package for more info. That‘s using the AWT image. Otherwise you could do:
URL url = new URL("http://www.yahoo.com/image_to_read.jpg");
InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int n = 0;
while (-1!=(n=in.read(buf)))
{
out.write(buf, 0, n);
}
out.close();
in.close();
byte[] response = out.toByteArray();
And you may then want to save the image so do:
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("C://borrowed_image.jpg");
fos.write(response);
fos.close();
