How to access image stored in Blackberry using Bitmap.getBitmapResource() ?

I want to access an image stored in Blackberry, say at location "store/home/user/image.png" .

Now can i access this image as,

Code:

---

String filePath = "file:///store/home/user/image.png;
Bitmap image = Bitmap.getBitmapResource(filePath);
BitmapField bitmapField = new BitmapField(image, BitmapField.FOCUSABLE);

---

OR

I have to access it as,

Code:

---

String filePath = "file:///store/home/user/image.png;
  FileConnection fconn = (FileConnection)Connector.open(filePath, Connector.READ);
  if (fconn.exists())
  {
                ........
                ........                         

    input.close();
    fconn.close();                           

  }

---

I am able to access the image using the second way but I want to know that can I access it using "Bitmap.getBitmapResource(filePath)" ?

you can't use the first method because getBitmapResource() reads the bitmap from the cod file. You have to use file connection like in your 2nd method.

Thanks a lot for the reply ....
