I am sending a bufferedImage over a socket and I am using the example found in this post:
Sender
BufferedImage image = ....;
ImageIO.write(image, "PNG", socket.getOutputStream());
Receiver
BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(socket.getInputStream());
It works - IF, and ONLY IF, I close the sender's outputStream after this line:
ImageIO.write(image, "PNG", socket.getOutputStream());
Is there anything I can do apart from closing the outputStream?
Also, is there anything else I can do to avoid using ImageIO altogether? It seems to take ages to do anything. Also note that reading or writing to the hard disk in anyway should be avoided at all costs due to performance issues. I need to make this transfer as fast as possible, (I'm experimenting and trying to create a client similar to VNC and saving each screenshot to the hard disk would greatly slow down everything)..

Edit 3:
Sender: (Note that I am sending a JPG image not a PNG).
int filesize;
OutputStream out = c.getClientSocket().getOutputStream();
ByteArrayOutputStream bScrn = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ImageIO.write(screenshot, "JPG", bScrn);
byte[] imgByte = bScrn.toByteArray();
bScrn.flush();
bScrn.close();
filesize = bScrn.size();
out.write(new String("#FS " + filesize).getBytes()); //Send filesize
out.write(new String("#<IM> \n").getBytes()); //Notify start of image
out.write(imgByte); //Write file
System.out.println("Finished");
Reciever: (where input is the socket input stream)
Attempt #1:
String str = input.toString();
imageBytes = str.getBytes();
InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(imageBytes);
BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(in);
in.close();
System.out.println("width=" + image.getWidth());
(failed: Nullpointer exception on getWidth() line) I understand this error to mean "corrupt image" because it couldn't initialize it. correct?
Attempt #2:
byte[] imageBytes = new byte[filesize];
for (int j = 0; i < filesize; i++)
{
imageBytes[j] = (byte) input.read();
}
InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(imageBytes);
BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(in);
in.close();
System.out.println("width=" + image.getWidth());
(failed: Nullpointer exception on getWidth() line)
Attempt #3:
if (filesize > 0)
{
int writtenBytes = 0;
int bufferSize = client.getReceiveBufferSize();
imageBytes = new byte[filesize]; //Create a byte array as large as the image
byte[] buffer = new byte[bufferSize];//Create buffer
do {
writtenBytes += input.read(buffer); //Fill up buffer
System.out.println(writtenBytes + "/" + filesize); //Show progress
//Copy buffer to the byte array which will contain the full image
System.arraycopy(buffer, 0, imageBytes, writtenBytes, client.getReceiveBufferSize());
writtenBytes+=bufferSize;
} while ((writtenBytes + bufferSize) < filesize);
// Read the remaining bytes
System.arraycopy(buffer, 0, imageBytes, writtenBytes-1, filesize-writtenBytes);
writtenBytes += filesize-writtenBytes;
System.out.println("Finished reading! Total read: " + writtenBytes + "/" + filesize);
}
InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(imageBytes);
BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(in);
in.close();
(failed: Reciever gives: Null pointer exception)
Attempt 4:
int readBytes = 0;
imageBytes = new byte[filesize]; //Create a byte array as large as the image
while (readBytes < filesize)
{
readBytes += input.read(imageBytes);
}
InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(imageBytes);
BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(in);
in.close();
System.out.println("width=" + image.getWidth());
(failed: sender gives: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: socket write error)
Attempt #5:
Using Jon skeet's code snippet, the image arrives, but only partially. I saved it to a file (1.jpg) to see what was going on, and it actually sends 80% of the image, while the rest of the file is filled with blank spaces. This results in a partially corrupt image. Here is the code I tried: (note that captureImg() is not at fault, saving the file directly works)
Sender:
Socket s = new Socket("127.0.0.1", 1290);
OutputStream out = s.getOutputStream();
ByteArrayOutputStream bScrn = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ImageIO.write(captureImg(), "JPG", bScrn);
byte imgBytes[] = bScrn.toByteArray();
bScrn.close();
out.write((Integer.toString(imgBytes.length)).getBytes());
out.write(imgBytes,0,imgBytes.length);
Reciever:
InputStream in = clientSocket.getInputStream();
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
byte[] b = new byte[30];
int len = in.read(b);
int filesize = Integer.parseInt(new String(b).substring(0, len));
if (filesize > 0)
{
byte[] imgBytes = readExactly(in, filesize);
FileOutputStream f = new FileOutputStream("C:\\Users\\Dan\\Desktop\\Pic\\1.jpg");
f.write(imgBytes);
f.close();
System.out.println("done");
The sender still gives a Connection reset by peer: socket write error. Click here for full sized image
One option would be to write the image to a ByteArrayOutputStream so you can determine the length, then write that length to the output stream first.
Then on the receiving end, you can read the length, then read that many bytes into a byte array, then create a ByteArrayInputStream to wrap the array and pass that to ImageIO.read().
I'm not entirely surprised that it doesn't work until the output socket is closed normally - after all, a file which contains a valid PNG file and then something else isn't actually a valid PNG file in itself, is it? So the reader needs to read to the end of the stream before it can complete - and the "end" of a network stream only comes when the connection is closed.
EDIT: Here's a method to read the given number of bytes into a new byte array. It's handy to have as a separate "utility" method.
public static byte[] readExactly(InputStream input, int size) throws IOException
{
byte[] data = new byte[size];
int index = 0;
while (index < size)
{
int bytesRead = input.read(data, index, size - index);
if (bytesRead < 0)
{
throw new IOException("Insufficient data in stream");
}
index += size;
}
return data;
}
for other StackOverflow users like me.
In "Jon Skeet's" answer. Modify the following line of readExactly method.
<<original Line>>
index += size;
<<modified Line>>
index += bytesRead;
To get the full image data.
public static void main(String[] args) {
Socket socket = null;
try {
DataInputStream dis;
socket = new Socket("192.168.1.48",8000);
while (true) {
dis = new DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
int len = dis.readInt();
byte[] buffer = new byte[len];
dis.readFully(buffer, 0, len);
BufferedImage im = ImageIO.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(buffer));
jlb.setIcon(new ImageIcon(im));
jfr.add(jlb);
jfr.pack();
jfr.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
jfr.setVisible(true);
System.gc();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
try {
socket.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
In 192.168.1.48:8000 machine python server running and i got stream in java code
