title: How do I create an alphablending BufferedImage using J2ME (CDC/PP 1.1)
body: <p>I have a BufferedImage created using</p>
  
  <pre><code>new BufferedImage(wid,hgt,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to which I assemble a wallpaper using multiple other images.  It works fine in Jave SE, but when I tried to run the code on a J9 CDC/PP platform I discovered that the Personal Profile BufferedImage has no constructors!</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone point me to how I can construct an alpha-channel supporting image using <strong>CDC</strong> 1.0 and <strong>Personal Profile</strong> 1.1?</p>

  <p>Edit: For now I have created fallback code which handles NoSuchMethodError (et al.) and then simply creates an image with GraphicsConfiguration.createCompatibleImage(int,int).  It <em>might</em> be that that creates an alpha-blending image, but it will be a few weeks before I can specifically test that due to other priorities (testing on handhelds is not my direct responsibility, so it's out of my hands).</p>
  
  <p>If I find a better answer, I will post it as an answer to this; in the meantime, if someone else beats me to it, be assured I will accept your answer if it works, and the answer will be of interest to me for the foreseeable future (I expect to still need an answer in 2-5 years).</p>
