How do you best handle incomplete image loading

**LeslieS** · January 8th, 2022, 08:06 PM

I am loading an Image resource then converting it to BufferedImage but the conversion routine uses the images width and height and until the image is fully loaded these return -1.
I use a while loop to wait but this doesn't seem the best way to do it.

private Image loadCardsTileSet(){   
        try{ 
            Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(this.getClass().getResource(Engine.CARDS_TILESET_FILEPATH));
            while(image.getWidth(null)==-1){}
            BufferedImage img = Engine.toBufferedImage(image);

Is there a better way?

Try the ImageIO class's read method.

If you want to keep the existing code, look at the MediaTracker class.
