Hi Joe,
Thanks for the reply!!
As per your instructions i created two classes 1.GetConnection.java and 2.PictureBean.java
in GetConnection.java i written following code
package Picture;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import oracle.adfmf.framework.api.AdfmfJavaUtilities;
public class GetConncetion {
public GetConncetion() {
super();
protected static Connection conn = null;
public static Connection getConnection() throws Exception {
if (conn == null) {
try {
// create a database connection
String Dir = AdfmfJavaUtilities.getDirectoryPathRoot(AdfmfJavaUtilities.ApplicationDirectory);
String connStr = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@fusion.networks.com:1521:fusion"+Dir+"/DeviceDemo.db" ;
conn = new SQLite.JDBCDataSource(connStr).getConnection();
System.out.println("connection*******"+conn);
} catch (SQLException e) {
// if the error message is "out of memory",
// it probably means no database file is found
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
return conn;
and in PictureBean.java the following code i modified..
package Picture;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import oracle.adf.model.datacontrols.device.DeviceManager;
import oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource;
public class PictureBean {
public PictureBean() {
super();
String src;
private int quality = 25;
private int destination = DeviceManager.CAMERA_DESTINATIONTYPE_FILE_URI;
private int source = DeviceManager.CAMERA_SOURCETYPE_PHOTOLIBRARY;
private boolean allowEdit = false;
private int encoding = DeviceManager.CAMERA_ENCODINGTYPE_JPEG;
private int targetWidth = 0;
private int targetHeight= 0;
public void setQuality(int quality) {
this.quality = quality;
public int getQuality() {
return quality;
public void setDestination(int destination) {
this.destination = destination;
public int getDestination() {
return destination;
public void setSource(int source) {
this.source = source;
public int getSource() {
return source;
public void setAllowEdit(boolean allowEdit) {
this.allowEdit = allowEdit;
public boolean getAllowEdit() {
return allowEdit;
public boolean isAllowEdit() {
return allowEdit;
public void setEncoding(int encoding) {
this.encoding = encoding;
public int getEncoding() {
return encoding;
public void setTargetWidth(int targetWidth) {
this.targetWidth = targetWidth;
public int getTargetWidth() {
return targetWidth;
public void setTargetHeight(int targetHeight) {
this.targetHeight = targetHeight;
public int getTargetHeight() {
return targetHeight;
public String GetSource(String result) {
String src = "";
if( getDestination() == DeviceManager.CAMERA_DESTINATIONTYPE_DATA_URL ) {
src = "data:image/gif;base64,";
src = src + result;
System.out.println("src value in GetSource is "+src);
return src;
public void setSource(String result) {
PictureBean pb1=new PictureBean();
String src = "data:image/gif;base64,";
if( getDestination() == DeviceManager.CAMERA_DESTINATIONTYPE_DATA_URL ) {
src = "data:image/gif;base64,";
src = src + result;
public String GetSource(){
return src;
public boolean savePicture() throws Exception {       
boolean ret=false;
PictureBean pb=new PictureBean();
String pic= pb.GetSource();
try{
Connection conn=GetConncetion.getConnection();
conn.setAutoCommit(false);
String insertSQL ="INSERT INTO IMAGE(ID,PIC) VALUES(?,?)";
PreparedStatement pStmt = conn.prepareStatement(insertSQL);
pStmt.setInt(1, 1);
pStmt.setString(2,pic);
pStmt.execute();
conn.commit();
ret = true;
}catch (SQLException e) {
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
return ret;
and i created one button in Result.amx page and in Action Listener i had given #{bindings.savePicture.execute} and deployed into Android mobile.But i am neither getting error nor getting save picture into database.
while i run PictureBean.java class alone the following exception occurred.

i already imported AdfmfJavaUtilities package dont know why it showing exception.
and while i am debugging the GetConnection.java value of 'Dir' is null.i am not getting what is the AdfmfJavaUtilities.ApplicationDirectory?
Could you help on this!!
Thanks & Regards
