Android Question libGDX - access to assett files

[TheJinJ]

Hi

Using libGDX and having an issue getting libGDX to read files loaded via B4A.

I check that the file is uploaded via file tab using

File.Exists(File.DirAssets, "whatever_file.png").....

But when I try and access it with libGDX with something similar to this

myBacking.InitializeWithFile(lGdx.Files.internal("whatever_file.png"))

It throws the error

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: whatever_file.png

The file is uploaded to the virtual_assets folder on the device and all seems ok - just accessing via libGDX seems to be the problem. Can anyone help on what I'm missing?

Cheers
Neil

Just realised it works ok in Release mode but not Debug - bit of a pain for testing!

The B4A debugger causes strange errors with libs like libGDX that run in a different thread. You have to use the Log function to debug your game. After some time, you will see that's not hindering.

The issue here is different. It is related to the virtual assets folder feature.

You can disable this with this attribute:
#DebuggerForceStandardAssets: true

Thanks. I didn't know that.
If I understand well, this concerns only the rapid debugger, so there is no reason for now to change anything in libGDX as it won't run fine with the rapid debugger anyway.

Thanks guys - it can now run in the debugger but the images are not used. I will use the log as Informatix suggested, no big deal.

Cheers!
