S Smee Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 7, 2017 #1 Hi, If i have png files in this folder rather than the files folder how can i address them when using as a bitmap? I have tried various metods but none seem to work Code: If File.Exists("",image.png) Then bmpName = LoadBitmapSample("", "image.png", 200dip, 200dip) If File.Exists("../res/drawable/",image.png) Then bmpName = LoadBitmapSample("../res/drawable/", "image.png", 200dip, 200dip) Where can i find the correct syntax for addressing various methods of using files in this directory Many Thanks

Click to expand... Thanks for the reply, I have read that thread and found a partial solution here https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/androidresources.16847/ However i understood that to keep memory resources down i need to use loadBitmapSample so that is what I am trying to do I am putting the images into that folder because there are so many of them and i thought it would be a "tidier" solution. Not correct? Thanks again for the reply EDIT: When i say "tidier" solution I do not ant to see 40 or 50 image files in the "files" tab of the IDE and To include them in the project I have to do that no? Edit2 I realise I can drop them straight into the files folder without having to include them in the files tab but i get loads of warnings in the log, just looks messy Last edited: Jun 8, 2017 Upvote 0
