Android LibGDX: Cannot Load Image Dependancies

Question

I am trying to run my game on the Android device, but once it gets into the main game, it stops because of an asset error: it cannot load a .png image, and also cannot load the dependency of that image. I do not understand what is happening here.

Image in question is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2Ih7ajWQd1EVGFJWWltSDJlUW8/edit?usp=sharing

Answer 1

It couldn't find the image. Make sure the image is in the correct folder, and the name is spelled correctly:

assets -> data -> monsters -> plant -> gas_cloud.png

If you are sure it is. Then it is probably unsynchronized with eclipse. Click the Android project and hit F5 to refresh it, a clean would be good too. Then try again.
