How to display HTML Image tag in BrowserField in RIM Blackberry

I want to display HTML tag in RIM BB component BrowserField. 

String str ="<html><body><p><img alt=\"bun\" src=\"http://adodis.in/ram/services/images/stories/food/bun.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"112\" /></p></body></html>";

BrowserField browserField = new BrowserField();
browserField.displayContent(str, "http://localhost");
add(browserField);

How to display above tag in BrowserField? Using Blackberry OS 5.0

Thanks very much in advance..

Solution

  • If you run your app, and you see the label "bun" displayed (the alt text), then I think the problem is just that you don't have network connectivity. Check your network, especially if you're using the simulator (you can just run the Browser app and try a known URL).

    If you are seeing nothing where the image should be, then I think the problem is just that you call displayContent() before you add() the BrowserField to its parent manager.

    So, just change the order of your calls, to call displayContent() last:

    BrowserField browserField = new BrowserField();
add(browserField); 

String str ="<html><body><p><img alt=\"bun\" src=\"http://adodis.in/ram/services/images/stories/food/bun.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"112\" /></p></body></html>";
browserField.displayContent(str, "http://localhost");

    Also, you don't really need to specify the img width and height properties in your HTML snippet, as that's the size of the actual image file. But, that doesn't actually cause a problem ... it's just extra HTML code.
