How to pass images stored in a db in click/find functions using java code

Asked by Nick Moutsios

Hello!

I have all my images stored in a db and i am trying to find a way to use them with sikuli's functions.
Lets say i want to use click. You can pass a PSMRL object as a parameter which can be a String, match, region, location or a pattern.
It seems that the only thing i could use is the Pattern object which can have a BufferedImage passed in its constructor. I have the latest sikuli jar and i cannot use the pattern object that way... I cannot pass a BufferedImage in its constructor...

I really don't want to have the images stored in a folder...
Is there any other way i can solve this?

Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply RaiMan, so what i am trying to do is this:

BufferedImage bImg = dbImg.toBufferedImage();
Pattern target = new Pattern(bImg);
screen.click(target);

I am getting "The constructor Pattern(BufferedImage) is undefined"
Although the documentation and the source code says otherwise...

Is there any other way i can pass the image as the target?

No idea about that problem - you seem to be right.
You seem to have far more knowledge than I about Java.

You might patch the Pattern class to your needs and replace it in the sikuli-script.jar or use some dynamic java stuff.

You might propose your patch to the developers.

Can you help with this problem?
