Hello, please I tried using this tool to convert an image (.jpg) into byte array and got the following:
error: incompatible types: byte[] cannot be converted to byte
Need help please.

 

[Erel]

Please post the relevant code.

 

[Kwame Twum]

Please post the relevant code.

Sub GetImageBytes() as Byte
  Dim bytes() As Byte = Bit.InputStreamToBytes(File.OpenInput(File.DirRootExternal,"MyApp/profile.jpg")
  Return bytes
End Sub

The Sub should be declared to return an array, not a single byte.

Sub GetImageBytes() As Byte()  '<---- Here
  Dim bytes() As Byte = Bit.InputStreamToBytes(File.OpenInput(File.DirRootExternal,"MyApp/profile.jpg")) '<--- Also, there was a missing closing ')'
  Return bytes
End Sub
