What is the createImage() method?

The createImage() method is used to display an immutable image by creating an instance of the Image class. This method takes one parameter, i.e., the name of the file having the image. The syntax below creates an instance of the Image class:

Image img= Image.createImage(”hello.png”);

Note: An instance of the ImageItem class is created after the creation of an instance of the Image class.

The instance is created using the constructor of the ImageItem syntax below:

ImageItem imp=new ImageItem(”image”, img, LAYOUT_CENTER, “myimage”);

The ImageItem constructor takes four parameters. The first parameter is the label that displays the text with the image. Here, it is image.

The second parameter takes the instance of the Image class.

The third parameter takes one of the ImageItem constants that define the layout of the image.

The fourth parameter takes a text, which is displayed if the image is not available.
