Issue
I'm trying to load an image from a file without using a FileChooser
.
The folders are:
TestProject
-src
--application
---(all_the_classes_i'm_using.java)
-assets
--drawIcon.png
I want to load the image in the assets folder. I've tried:
Image image = new Image("../assets/drawIcon.png")
Image image = new Image(getClass().getResourceAsStream("../assets/drawIcon.png"))
I've tried it with the string path "/TestProject/assets/drawIcon.png", but nothing. I don't understand how to load this image!
Solution
Set the assets
directory as a resource directory and then load the image as a resource from the location "/drawIcon.png":
URL url = getClass().getResource("/drawIcon.png");
Image image = ImageIO.read(url);
In case you want to create a javafx Image:
Image image = new Image("/drawIcon.png");
In this case, also, mark that folder as resource folder.
