How to add an image to an object in Java? -

• load image filepath via bufferedimage 5 answers

i'm trying add proper images each card object, can't seem work. tried incorporate filldeck() method, not sure best way it, be.

here's got:

public void filldeck() {     iterator suititerator = cardsuit.values.iterator();     while(suititerator.hasnext()) {         cardsuit suit = (cardsuit) suititerator.next();         iterator rankiterator = cardvalue.values.iterator();      while(rankiterator.hasnext()) {         cardvalue value = (cardvalue) rankiterator.next();            /* problem area :l */         string imagefile = imagelocation + card.getimagefilename(suit, value);         imageicon image = new imageicon(getimage(getcodebase(), imagefile));        /* --------------------------- */          card card = new card(suit, value, image);         addcard(card);     }}} 

image location initialized as: private final string imagelocation = "cardimages/";

and getimagefilename follows:

public static string getimagefilename( cardsuit suit, cardvalue value ) {     return suit.getsuitacronym() + value.getvalueacronym() + ".png"; } 

i checking out imageio, not quite sure on how implemented this. here's file tree, have images folder in wrong place: http://i.stack.imgur.com/jt6po.png

so yeah, sorry long post, can provide insight on how should go or if can spot mistakes.

to load image in java:

bufferedimage image = null;  try{     image = imageio.read(new file("location.png")); } catch(exception e){e.printstacktrace();}
