    Default How do you best handle incomplete image loading

    I am loading an Image resource then converting it to BufferedImage but the conversion routine uses the images width and height and until the image is fully loaded these return -1.
    I use a while loop to wait but this doesn't seem the best way to do it.
    private Image loadCardsTileSet(){   
            try{ 
                Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(this.getClass().getResource(Engine.CARDS_TILESET_FILEPATH));
                while(image.getWidth(null)==-1){}
                BufferedImage img = Engine.toBufferedImage(image);
    Is there a better way?

    Try the ImageIO class's read method.

    If you want to keep the existing code, look at the MediaTracker class.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
