getDirectory(Class<ExifSubIFDDirectory>) is undefined

I'm trying to get specific EXIF (and later IPTC) Tags with the "metadata-extractor-2.8.0.jar" library from here.

For the first simple usage, I wanted to try the code from the "getting started" for the Raw Values. But I ran in a problem, you can see in the attached picture.

Picture (can't post images yet.)

Add.Info: I can read all TAGs with for each loops. So the libs are working.

Solution

  • I had a similar problem. Looks like the sample hasn't been updated after the 2.8.0 release. Did you try

    getFirstDirectoryOfType(ExifSubIFDDirectory.class);

    That fixed the problem for me.
