B4J Question Load ImageView via code

[SueHale]

I have an ImageView set up within designer but struggling to find the correct syntax to load graphic files via code. All the graphics files I wish to use are stored within the files directly.

Have tried various combinations of code, but having no luck on this simple problem!

Thank-you for any insight you can provide.

Regards
Sue.

Hi,

Various options to load an image in an imageview.
The imageview is defined in a project fxml file.

-Load an Image from the DirAssets folder
* Copy the imagefile to the DirAssets folder. This is the Files folder.
* Add the imagefile to the IDE files list. Via the Files tab.
* Note: If this is omitted, a runtime error "File not found" occurs.
* Load the image into the imageview:

imageview1.SetImage(fx.LoadImage(File.DirAssets, "myimage.png"))

-Load an Image from the DirApp folder
* Copy the imagefile to the DirApp folder. This is the Objects folder.
* Load the image into the imageview:

imageview1.SetImage(fx.LoadImage(File.DirApp, "myimage.png"))

-Load an Image from any other Folder
* Load the image into the imageview:

imageview1.SetImage(fx.LoadImage("<folder path>", "myimage.png"))

Probably more ways...

Hi Rob,

Many thanks for helping out. I knew would be kicking myself I could just not see the fx. part of the required syntax. Your answer of course worked perfectly. Also congratulations on your B4J Howto web project, much valued information and tips.
