import javax.imageio.ImageIO; Has Error [duplicate]

Question

This question already has an answer here:

Can't import javax.imageio.ImageIO in Android application (1 answer)

Closed 8 years ago.

I have searched high and low and have found no answer, when I try to do

import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

It says "Cannot resolve symbol imageio". This is an almost complete android app. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

As was mentioned, the ImageIO class is not available on Android. You can do image decoding in Android using the BitmapFactory class.

Answer 2

Don't know what you're trying to achieve, but you probably want to use the Bitmap / BitmapFactory to solve your problem.
