Extraction of  picture taken time and date

Is there anyway to extract picture taken date and time through midlet code

Hi Susmitha,
Most camera devices (including those built into phones) store metadata about the picture in the Exif header of jpeg files. This includes the time the picture was taken, shooting conditions and sometimes a GPS fix.
Drew Noakes' library lets you access that data from Java SE. I believe the principles will be the same on Java ME, but the code will probably need some porting before it works.
If your photos are taken with the same device as the one you are accessing them on, then another, simpler, option is to just read the time stamp of the photo file. (look up FileConnection.lastModified()). It will usually be the same as the recording time. But this only works if you know that the photo will not be manipulated. Saving changes to the photo will naturally modify the file's timestamp, so in that case, the Exif data is a better option.

  • Putting time and dates on pictures

    does anyone know how to put time and dates on pictures that are being taken?

    Without knowing what exactly is the difference it is difficult to "advice on what PSE9 is doing". Can you post what is the "correct" date on the photo in the camera and what is the date now in PSE.  I would expect some time difference between the two because the timezone may be different in the camera and the timezone on your computer might also be different but correct t because of auto-update in computers using the Internet.
    To give you an example, if your timezone is Central Time (US and Canada) then 10:00 hours on your photo will have a different time when moved to a computer with timezone set in Dublin, London, Lisbon or Edinburgh.  the difference will be 6 hours.  Apart from this I can't think of anything else.

    You don't need to learn scripting. Just ask in the scripting forum if they can help you.
    They will point you to an existing one or might even do one for you.

  • Extract time and data with a regular expression

    Hi,
    I have a string with time and date in a HTML statement.
    String s =">19:59, 18 August 2006</a> ";
    // I hope get
    String s1="19:59, 18 August 2006";or
    String s =">18:37, 4 September 1998</a>"Because of different length of months, so how use regular expression to extract it.
    The second question is how to write the string into a file.
    filename =  "A.txt";
                    File file = new File(filename);
              out=new BufferedOutputStream(
                        new FileOutputStream(file));
                   byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
    // then what?Thank you in advance!

    If "WARNING" can never occur in the input then wedon't have to worry about making the regex not match
    it.
    Hmm, how about fool-proof? :)Bad idea, and impractical or impossible to implement. Excessively defensive coding leads to bloated, hard to maintain code, and a greater likelihood of bugs.
    Code so that you code works correctly provided the preconditions are met. It's the caller's responsibility to meet them. Don't waste time and gunk up your code trying to handle inputs that aren't allowed to occur.

  • Importing video help! Need Time and date to show up on screen...

    SOMEBODY HAS TO HAVE AN ANSWER!
    Okay, little background... I just got a new Mac book pro lab top. First time apple user. Difficult to learn, but learned fast. I am working with IMovie HD program, got the hang of it. I have a Cannon ZR50 camcorder, mini DVR tape. Camera has DV,S, USB, AV etc.. port outs. Hooked it up to lab top to import video to lab top to edit footage add sound etc... to later burn to DVD via IDVD program
    BTW: I used a DV to Firewire cable to load up footage.
    PROBLEM I AM HAVING. is when I'm importing my video to the computer, time and date stamp from my camcorder's screen does not show up on Mac screen. It gets lost when importing. How I view it on my camcorder (SHOWING TIME/DATE INFO ON FOOTAGE TAKEN) is how I would like to view it after importing it to lab top to later edit ad sound tracks etc... If I hook up my camcorder to a VHS or TV, to record on tape of footage taken, Time/Date stamp of footage shows up and records on tape with no problem.
    I spoke with a lot of people on this issue. Everyone refers me to someone else. I can't get an answer for something in my eyes is so simple. They all said " Why would you want the time and date stamp to show up on your footage anyway" Well I would like it to be that way. Topic got down to three things that might solve problem. 1. Need better video/editing software. 2. Need Digital Analog capture device. 3. Need new camcorder. I've been working on this problem for a day or so. It's getting rough for help. Any information on this problem would be great. If you need any more info on my issue please do not hesitate to Pm me. Thanks

    Hi SIZ4SK:
    Welcome to discussions!
    You can't do that with iMovie but you can with a bit of help from a third party...
    What you really need is this free plugin from TriX Software:

  • Preventive maintenance order actual completion time and date

    Hey gurus,
    In preventive maintenance order the basic and scheduled start dates are picked from the maintenance plan. Now the actual start and end dates are in display mode. My client wants an overall completion time and date of the preventive order and not of individual operations. Also at the end of the month they want to see the total time spent on preventive maintenance. Can you suggest any way to sort out the above problem.
    Regards,
    Abhishek

    hi.
    the basic start date and end date is coming from maintenance plan. but you can change that dates according to your requirment. For that you have to remove the automatic schduling check in the dates header in maintenance order. Afetr that you can put basic start and end dates as per your requirement.
    Also the actual start and end dates and coming when you confirm the operation.
    When you confirm the first operation, that date the system will take as actual start date and the day you confirm you last operation or fully confirmed the order will be taken as actual end date.
    So i dont think yu have any problem. You can take basic start or basic end dates for this and change the dates as per your maintenace requirments.

  • How do I keep the time and date stamp of my photo when exporting from iphoto

    Hi,
    I notice the time and date stamp changed when I exported the photos from iPhoto 11 to a external HDD.
    When I looked at the information about the exported photos on my external HDD the time and date changed to the time and date of when I exported the photos form iPhoto instead of keeping the time and date information of when the photo was taken as it appears in iPhoto.
    I thought the time and date stamp is in the meta data of the photo file and can't be changed, am I correct?
    Thanks,

    Kyzelios,
    How can view the meta data from "finder" or do I need a 3rd party app?
    "Get info" function only gives me the creation date which is the export date and time.

  • Looking at FOCUS POINTS changes Time and Date

    When I select VIEW FOCUS POINTS it changes the Time and Date information in the Metadata. I have seen it happen twice now. The images were taken with a Nikon D90 while in Australia. The first time that I noticed this I was in Hawaii and just looking at the FOCUS POINTS changed the Date and Time to Hawaii time. It happened again in Maryland and the time zone was changed to Eastern Daylight Time. To put the images back in the proper place I have had to change the DATE and TIME.
    Has anyone seen this?
    Roger

    Thanks Tony,
    Did you try this:
    Shoot a photo with your camera set to your local time.
    Import into your Mac set to the same local time.
    Quit Aperture
    Restart
    Set the time on your Mac to another time zone.
    Open Aperture.
    Open the photo.
    View the Focus Points
    Then see if the time metadata is changed.
    Mine changes and the place of the photo in the line-up of my folder changes.
    It still does it after I updated to Aperture 3.0.3 from the 3.0
    I know this is a lot of steps in the test process, but this is how it happens for me.
    If this doesn't work I'll have to look into a new Nikon for you and a flight to Hawaii.
    Cheers,
    Roger

  • Why my atv can't set time and date after restoring it using itunes ?

    when my atv restarting after  I restored it using iTunes, it can't set the time and date.
    the atv is connected to the net by wi - fi.
    when I try to sign in using my apple id, I get a massage that the password is incorrect.
    I have apple tv with ios 7.

    The network and signal test on device won't give the full picture, for that you need a network report. Go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar, that will show true signal strength as well as any nose detected. You can also try Ethernet to help rule out WiFi issues.

  • Time and Date (again) over DV

    Hi everyone, thanks for the help with my last problem.
    As expected though I have anther one with regards to a similar issue of time and date taken from a video camera.
    I would like to record footage on DV, either MDV or Digital 8 and transfer it to computer using FireWire, I would like the footage to playback the time and date overlays from the camera (as seen in view finder / LCD) so i can record them to computer.
    Is this possible with DV, i have tried enabling all options concerning this feature on my camera, but i still can't see the time and date through FireWire connection to the computer.
    Are there any FCP settings or specific camera settings you guys know of?
    Thanks for all your help, regards, Jim.

    Jim
    You can not capture the time/date onscreen via FireWire.
    You have 3 options:
    1. Buy/install a capture card with analog AV inputs.
    2. Make a DV copy by connecting analog AV out/inputs.
    3. Buy/connect a external analog>FireWire converter, for example this one:
    http://www.canopus.com/products/ADVC55/index.php
    In all cases, you have to use the analog output from the DV player/camera to display the time/date info.
    Hope this helps.

  • Startup screen shows ghost time and date

    My iPhone 3Gs recently started showing a shadow time and date behind the actual time and date on the startup (unlock) screen. The narrow bar at the top also shows shadow settings that aren't the actual ones I'm using. I have downloaded the latest operating system, removed the sim card, and reset the settings but the shadows still remain. When I unlock the screen the shadow goes away. This started when I took the iPhone to Europe. Is there any way to get rid of these shadows?

    You may have taken a screenshot of the locked screen and assigned that to your wallpaper. Try changing your wallpaper.
