I have been trying to use the samples from here:   

[J2ME: Convert transparent PNG image to grayscale](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2412054/j2me-convert-transparent-png-image-to-grayscale)  

and here:  

<http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/Collections-Data-Structure/intarraytobytearray.htm>  

to convert an Bitmap image object to grayscale on the fly but I am running into issues when I am trying to re-encode my byte to an image and I get the following error/stack:

```
(Suspended (exception IllegalArgumentException))    
EncodedImage.createEncodedImage(byte[], int, int, String) line: 367 
EncodedImage.createEncodedImage(byte[], int, int) line: 279 
ScreenTemp.getGrayScaleImage(Bitmap) line: 404

```

Here is my code I am trying:

```
    Bitmap btemp = getGrayScaleImage(Bitmap.getBitmapResource("add.png"));
    BitmapField bftemp = new BitmapField(btemp, BitmapField.FOCUSABLE | BitmapField.FIELD_HCENTER | BitmapField.FIELD_VCENTER);
    add(bftemp);

    public Bitmap getGrayScaleImage(Bitmap image) {
    int width = image.getWidth();
    int height = image.getHeight();     
    int[] rgbData = new int[width * height];        
    image.getARGB(rgbData, 0, width, 0, 0, width, height);
    for (int x = 0; x < width*height ; x++) {
        rgbData[x] = getGrayScale(rgbData[x]);
    }
    byte[] b = int2byte(rgbData);
    final EncodedImage jpegPic = EncodedImage.createEncodedImage(b, 0, b.length);
    return jpegPic.getBitmap();
}
private int getGrayScale(int c) {
    int[] p = new int[4];
    p[0] = (int) ((c & 0xFF000000) >>> 24); // Opacity level
    p[1] = (int) ((c & 0x00FF0000) >>> 16); // Red level
    p[2] = (int) ((c & 0x0000FF00) >>> 8); // Green level
    p[3] = (int) (c & 0x000000FF); // Blue level

    int nc = p[1] / 3 + p[2] / 3 + p[3] / 3;
    // a little bit brighter
    nc = nc / 2 + 127;

    p[1] = nc;
    p[2] = nc;
    p[3] = nc;

    int gc = (p[0] << 24 | p[1] << 16 | p[2] << 8 | p[3]);
    return gc;
}
private static byte[] int2byte(int[] src) {
    int srcLength = src.length;
    byte[]dst = new byte[srcLength << 2];

    for (int i=0; i<srcLength; i++) {
        int x = src[i];
        int j = i << 2;
        dst[j++] = (byte) ((x >>> 0) & 0xff);           
        dst[j++] = (byte) ((x >>> 8) & 0xff);
        dst[j++] = (byte) ((x >>> 16) & 0xff);
        dst[j++] = (byte) ((x >>> 24) & 0xff);
    }
    return dst;
}

```

Any help would be great!

Thanks,
Justin

EDIT:
Thanks to the below information I was able to fix this issue. Here is the code. You no longer need the int2byte and here is the updated the getGrayScaleImage method:

```
public Bitmap getGrayScaleImage(Bitmap image) {
    int width = image.getWidth();
    int height = image.getHeight();     
    int[] rgbData = new int[width * height];        
    image.getARGB(rgbData, 0, width, 0, 0, width, height);
    for (int x = 0; x < width*height ; x++) {
        rgbData[x] = getGrayScale(rgbData[x]);
    }
    byte[] b = int2byte(rgbData);
    Bitmap bit = new Bitmap(width, height);
    bit.setARGB(rgbData, 0, width, 0, 0, width, height);
    return bit;
}

```
