Displaying images as thumbnails on J2ME devices

Images can be viewed as thumbnails on wireless devices. The method below creates thumbnails from images


private Image createThumbnail(Image image) {
int sourceWidth = image.getWidth();
int sourceHeight = image.getHeight();

int thumbWidth = 64;
int thumbHeight = -1;

if (thumbHeight == -1)
thumbHeight = thumbWidth * sourceHeight / sourceWidth;

Image thumb = Image.createImage(thumbWidth, thumbHeight);
Graphics g = thumb.getGraphics();

for (int y = 0; y < thumbHeight; y++) {
for (int x = 0; x < thumbWidth; x++) {
g.setClip(x, y, 1, 1);
int dx = x * sourceWidth / thumbWidth;
int dy = y * sourceHeight / thumbHeight;
g.drawImage(image, x - dx, y - dy, Graphics.LEFT | Graphics.TOP);
}
}

Image immutableThumb = Image.createImage(thumb);

return immutableThumb;
}
