Load image from splite blob field

[grantful 3]

I am trying to load a image from a sqlite database field

tfdQuery sql is 

 

select camarapic from photos

 

Procedure LoadBitmapFromBlob(Bitmap: TBitmap; Blob: TBlobField);
var
  ms, ms2: TMemoryStream;
begin
  ms := TMemoryStream.Create;
  try
    Blob.SaveToStream(ms);
    ms.Position := 0;
    Bitmap.LoadFromStream(ms);
  finally
    ms.Free;
  end;
end;


procedure TCustomerInfo.SpeedButton6Click(Sender: TObject);

var
  bmp: TBitmap;
begin
  bmp := TBitmap.Create;
  try
    //datamodule2.InsertImg.SQL:=('select camarapic form photos where cusid : 2');
    LoadBitmapFromBlob(bmp, TBlobField(datamodule2.InsertImg.FieldByName('camarapic')));
    Image2.Bitmap.Assign(bmp);

  finally
    bmp.Free;


 end;
end;

When i run the app the image2  just goes blank

 

 

Thanks for any help.

Try to find the exact issue by tracing actions. Here you have : querying data from DB, loading BLOB to stream, loading from stream to BMP, loading BMP to image. Check which one of them fails

Are you sure the database BLOB stores the image in the format TBitmap can handle? The code would fail if it is a JPG or GIF or PNG...

Thanks for the comments . I will look into to this more.

I am following this tutorial

https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Alexandria/en/Taking_Pictures_Using_FireMonkey_Interfaces

 

I am not sure about it saveing as a bitmap.

Hi,
The simplest way (without checking errors)

procedure loadbitmapfromblob(abitmap : TBitmap; aBlob : TField);
var aStream : TMemoryStream;
begin
aStream:=TMemoryStream.Create;
try
  TBlobField(aBlob).SaveToStream(aStream);
 // aStream.Position:=0;
  aBitmap.LoadFromStream(aStream);
finally
  aStream.Free;
end;
end;

usage
 

loadbitmapfromblob(Image1.Bitmap,datamodule2.InsertImg.FieldByName('camarapic'));

But can I suggest this ? (FMX program)  or even using Livebindings for "no code"

procedure loadImagefromblob(aImage: TImage; aBlob: TField);
begin
var
  aStream: TMemoryStream;
begin
  if aBlob.IsNull then
    aImage.Visible := False
  else
  begin
    aStream := TMemoryStream.Create;
    try
      TBlobField(aBlob).SaveToStream(aStream);
      try
        aImage.Bitmap.LoadFromStream(aStream);
        aImage.Visible:=true;
      except
        aImage.Visible := False;
      end;
    finally
        aStream.Free;
    end;
  end;
end;
end;

 

for VCL use this procedure, not forgetting to declare units   Vcl.Imaging.jpeg and Vcl.Imaging.pngimage

procedure TFormVCL.loadImage(aImage: Timage; aField: TField);
var aStream : TmemoryStream;
begin
if aField.IsNull then aImage.Visible:=false
else begin
 aStream:=TmemoryStream.Create;
 try
   TBlobField(aField).SaveToStream(aStream);
   aStream.Position:=0;
   AImage.Picture.LoadFromStream(aStream);
   aImage.Visible:=true;
 finally
   aStream.Free;
 end;
end;
end;

Thanks so much for the help.

It works great
