EmbeddedImage not added to report [message #759934]

I am trying to add an image to a report:

    EmbeddedImage embeddedImage = StructureFactory.createEmbeddedImage();
    String constFile = "C:\\tests\\sample_img.png";
    byte[] imageByteArray;
    try {
      imageByteArray = FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(new File(constFile));
      embeddedImage.setType(DesignChoiceConstants.IMAGE_TYPE_IMAGE_PNG);
      embeddedImage.setName("name");
      embeddedImage.setData(imageByteArray);
      templateHandle.addImage(embeddedImage);
      templateHandle.saveAs("c:\\tests\\test.rptdesign");
    } catch (IOException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (SemanticException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }

The code runs without any errors but when I open the test.rptdesign file the image is not there, why?

So it needs to be referenced by an ImageHandle:

http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/eclipse.org/3.6.2/org.eclipse.birt.chart/examples/2.6.2/org/eclipse/birt/chart/examples/report/api/SalesReport.java

Embedded images are not shown unless they are used. Not certain that is
your issue, but have a look at the attached code. There is an addImage
method to add an embedded image. Once the image is added a Image report
item is created that uses the embedded image.
