Problem in Saving Captured Images.

Question

Hi all,
I am trying to save the images which are captured by the webcam. I am getting the
error as
JPEGEncodeTest.java:32:cannot resolve symbol
Symbol: method getImage()
location: class JPEGEncodeTest
image = getImage(); (Error)
I am trying to compile the code for saving separately first and then attach this piece of code to the main program. And the code is
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.JPEGEncodeParam;
import com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.JPEGImageEncoder;
import com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.JPEGCodec;
public class JPEGEncodeTest
public static void main(String[] args)
throws Exception
OutputStream out = null;
BufferedImage image = null;
try {
     image = getImage();
// Open output file.
out = new FileOutputStream("test.jpg");
// Create jpeg encoder.
JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(out);
// Set quality.
JPEGEncodeParam encodeParam = encoder.getDefaultJPEGEncodeParam(image);
encodeParam.setQuality(0.7f, false);
// Encode.
encoder.encode(image, encodeParam);
// Close output file.
out.close();
} catch(java.io.IOException io)
     System.out.println("Java IO Exception");
If anyone has encountered the getImage function not to work and have figured it out, please let me know. Or If anyone has any suggestions in this issue, please let me know. I am really thankful to all of you as I need this to work as soon as possible and am unable to think of how to solve it.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
In Advance thanks to all of you.

Answer 1

according to the error posted, and the code posted. there is no method getImage();
image = getImage();//you have this line, this is where error is, Where is getImage()???Is getImage() in a different class???
you need something like this in the code above....
public Image getImage(){
.....add the above code to your posted code then, what is the error.
