J2C Viewer API for Android - Render JPEG 2000 Streams

A J2C file is nothing but a JPEG 2000 code stream: compressed picture data without the JP2 container that normally wraps it. Streams like these appear in digital cinema packages, medical imaging systems and archival scanning pipelines, where wavelet compression keeps fine detail at high ratios. Android has no decoder for the format, so a J2C file on a handset is an unreadable binary.

GroupDocs.Viewer Cloud decodes the stream on its own servers and returns a finished result to an Android app in HTML, PDF, JPG or PNG form. Zooming into the picture, moving between the pages of a multi-page document and browsing thumbnails all follow from one REST call.

The Android SDK for Java, fetched with Gradle or Maven, ships samples that walk through the upload and render sequence, and any endpoint may be tried out in a browser window ahead of client code.

For a quick look at one file, the free online GroupDocs.Viewer app renders J2C uploads in a browser window. A free trial covers evaluation of the API, which also handles more than 180 further document and image formats.
