Method Detail

copyFile

public static void copyFile(File srcFile,
                            File destFile)
                     throws IOException

Utility method for copying file

Parameters:

srcFile - - source file

destFile - - destination file

Throws:

IOException

copyDirectory

public static void copyDirectory(File srcDir,
                                 File dstDir)
                          throws IOException

Utility method for copying directory

Parameters:

srcDir - - source directory

dstDir - - destination directory

Throws:

IOException

deleteDirectory

public static boolean deleteDirectory(File dir,
                                      boolean isInitialDelete)

Utility method for delete directory

Parameters:

dir - - directory to delete

isInitialDelete - - determine if the deleting process running at startup or on destroy of application

Returns:

true if directory succesfully deleted

joinFiles

public static String joinFiles(String... files)

Utility method for concatenation names of collection of files

Parameters:

files - - array of strings to concatenate

Returns:

concatenated string

deleteFile

public static void deleteFile(File file)

Utility method for delete file

Parameters:

file - - file to delete

bitmapToImage

public static BufferedImage bitmapToImage(InputStream is,
                                          String format)
                                   throws IOException

Utility method to read image from disk and transform image to BufferedImage object

Parameters:

data - - relative path to the image

format - - file prefix of the image

Returns:

BufferedImage representation of the image

Throws:

IOException

imageToBitmap

public static void imageToBitmap(BufferedImage image,
                                 String data,
                                 String format)
                          throws IOException

Utility method to write BufferedImage object to disk

Parameters:

image - - BufferedImage object to save.

data - - relative path to the image

format - - file prefix of the image

Throws:

IOException

getScaledInstance

public static BufferedImage getScaledInstance(BufferedImage img,
                                              int targetWidth,
                                              int targetHeight,
                                              Object hint,
                                              boolean higherQuality)

Convenience method that returns a scaled instance of the provided BufferedImage.

Parameters:

img - the original image to be scaled

targetWidth - the desired width of the scaled instance, in pixels

targetHeight - the desired height of the scaled instance, in pixels

hint - one of the rendering hints that corresponds to RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION (e.g. RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_NEAREST_NEIGHBOR, RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR, RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BICUBIC)

higherQuality - if true, this method will use a multi-step scaling technique that provides higher quality than the usual one-step technique (only useful in downscaling cases, where targetWidth or targetHeight is smaller than the original dimensions, and generally only when the BILINEAR hint is specified)

Returns:

a scaled version of the original BufferedImage

addDirectory

public static void addDirectory(File directory)

Utility method for creation of directory

Parameters:

directory - - directory to create
