Using CImageEncoder class we can save images originating from the screen and photos from camera, etc. to files or descriptors. This process is in two stages:

Object Creation

Creation of encoder object is synchronous operation and is performed using the constructors FileNewL() or DataNewL().

The FileNewL() constructor is used when converting image data that is to be saved to file. And DataNewL() constructor is used when converting image data that is to be saved to descriptor.

Object Conversion

Before converting image data, we need to the destination image format specific data using CFrameImageData. And using Convert() method we can convert the image to destination image format. Following is the code snippet for convert the image

TJpegImageData imageData = new (ELeave) TJpegImageData;
 
// Set some format specific data
imageData->iSampleScheme = TJpegImageData::EColor444;
imageData->iQualityFactor = 95;
 
iFrameImageData = CFrameImageData::NewL();
 
// frameData - ownership passed to iFrameImageData after AppendImageData
User::LeaveIfError(iFrameImageData->AppendImageData(imageData));
 
// Do the convert
iEncoder->Convert(iRequesStatus,iFrameBitmap,iFrameImageData);
