[FIXED] Gluon Mobile - fxml file "Location is not set"

Issue

I want to implement javafx app both on desktop and android. When I try load fxml file:

FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("ProjectSetup.fxml")); Parent root = loader.load();

I am getting an error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Location is not set. I tried putting it in Resources(Main), Resources(Desktop),Source Packages(Java).

Example

None of it worked.

Where should I put "ProjecSetup.fxml" to get it working?

Solution

The appropriate location for fxml files is src/main/resources/yourpackage. If the class which is calling getResource() is not located in the same package as the referenced fxml.file, i.e. src/main/yourpackage, you have to use an aboslute path: fxmlLoader(getClass().getResource("/yourpackage/ProjectSetup.fxml"). Pay attention to the leading slash
