Android Question image file & custom Type

[luke2012]

Hi to all,
I wish to handle an image within a custom Type like this:

Type custom (ItemName as string, ItemPic() As Byte)

Is this correct ?
If yes how to convert an image file (for eample within the File asset dir) into an array of bytes?

thanks in advance for your help

I don't understand what did you mean.
Type is for custom types as you need. If you need this two properties of image , it's true.
And you can use this code to convert any file to byte.

Sub File2Byte(Dir As String,Filename As String) As Byte()
Dim input  As InputStream
Dim output As OutputStream
Dim buff() As Byte
input = File.OpenInput(Dir,Filename)
output.InitializeToBytesArray(100000)
File.Copy2(input,output)
buff = output.ToBytesArray
output.Close
Return buff
End Sub

Simpler implementation:

Sub File2Byte (Dir As String, FileName As String) As Byte()
Return Bit.InputStreamToBytes(File.OpenInput(Dir, FileName))
End Sub

Simpler implementation:

Sub File2Byte (Dir As String, FileName As String) As Byte
Return Bit.InputStreamToBytes(File.OpenInput(Dir, FileName))
End Sub

Thanks @Erel for your great support! It is what I need

P.S.
I did only a little correction because the compiler raised an error:

Sub File2Byte (Dir As String, FileName As String) As Byte()
Return Bit.InputStreamToBytes(File.OpenInput(Dir, FileName))
End Sub
