Error: sun.awt.image.ToolkitImage cannot be attributed to java.awt.image.BufferedImage

Question

please help me can't do this thing to work with me sun.awt.image.ToolkitImage cannot be dropped in java.awt.image.BufferedImage

if (shape.hasImage()) { // If this shape is an image, extract image to file String extension = ImageTypeToExtension(shape.getImageData().getImageType()); String imageFileName = MessageFormat.format("Image.ExportImages.{0} Out.{1}", imageIndex, extension); String strBarCodeImageExtracted = "" + imageFileName; shape.getImageData().save(strBarCodeImageExtracted); // Recognize barcode from this image BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader ((BufferedImage) Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(strBarCodeImageExtracted),BarCodeReadType.Code39Standard); while (reader.read()) { System.out.println("codetext: " + reader.getCodeText()); } imageIndex++; }

... replace Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(...) with ImageIO.read(...) ...

Original answer:

You can either try to read the image using ImageIO , or think about ImageIO image in the newly highlighted BufferedImage, for example. using type method

 public static BufferedImage convertToBufferedImage(Image image) { BufferedImage newImage = new BufferedImage( image.getWidth(null), image.getHeight(null), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB); Graphics2D g = newImage.createGraphics(); g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, null); g.dispose(); return newImage; } 

And then in your case:

 Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(strBarCodeImageExtracted); BufferedImage bufferedImage = convertToBufferedImage(image); BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(bufferedImage,BarCodeReadType.Code39Standard);
