Adding multiple images for tiled background?

Question

Hi,
I'm having some trouble trying to add multiple images to the my tiled layer class. I can't figure out a way how to add these images to my current code. My goal is to add at least 4 images onto the screen.
Here's my code:
private void buildBackground() throws IOException
        Graphics g = getGraphics();
        Image tileImageOne;
        Image tileImageTwo;
        Image tileImageThree;
        Image tileImageFour;
        TiledLayer tiles;
        try
            tileImageOne = Image.createImage("/tile_1.png"/*, "/tile_2.png",
                    "/tile_3.png", "/tile_4.png"*/);
            tiles = new TiledLayer(11, 14, tileImageOne, 20, 20);
            int[] grid={
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
            for(int i=0; i<grid.length; i++)
                int column = i%11;
                int row = (i-column)/11;
                tiles.setCell(column, row, grid);
tiles.setPosition(GAME_ORIGIN_X, GAME_ORIGIN_Y);
tiles.paint(g);
catch(IndexOutOfBoundsException e)
e.printStackTrace();
catch(IOException io)
io.printStackTrace();

Answer 1

I've read the API.
But the thing that confuses me is the uploading of images. I can't figure out how by uploading different images can the code recognize which one would go into the tile.
-I know in the api it shows different numbers to display each tile used with a specified image. But I can't figure out how to code it.
Here's my attempt
private void buildBackground() throws IOException
        Graphics g = getGraphics();
        Image tileImageOne;
        Image tileImageTwo;
        Image tileImageThree;
        Image tileImageFour;
        TiledLayer tiles;
        TiledLayer tiles2;
        try
            tileImageOne = Image.createImage("/tile_1.png");
            tileImageTwo = Image.createImage("/tile_2.png");
            tiles2 = new TiledLayer(11, 14, tileImageTwo, 20, 20);
            tiles = new TiledLayer(11, 14, tileImageOne, 20, 20);
            int[] grid={
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
            for(int i=0; i<grid.length; i++)
                int column = i%11;
                int row = (i-column)/11;
                tiles.setCell(column, row, grid);
tiles2.setCell(column, row, grid[i]);
tiles.setPosition(GAME_ORIGIN_X, GAME_ORIGIN_Y);
tiles.paint(g);
tiles.setPosition(GAME_ORIGIN_X, GAME_ORIGIN_Y);
tiles.paint(g);
