Creating a Pixmap in LibGDX can't find file

Question

This code keeps throwing io.FileNotFoundException:

spriteBatch = new SpriteBatch();
spriteMap = new Texture(new Pixmap(new FileHandle("Sprites.png")));
spriteMap.setFilter(TextureFilter.MipMapLinearNearest, TextureFilter.MipMapLinearNearest);
spriteMap.setWrap(TextureWrap.ClampToEdge, TextureWrap.ClampToEdge);
sprites = new TextureRegion(spriteMap).split(16, 16);

any ideas what's wrong? i have also tried spriteMap = new Texture(new Pixmap(Gdx.files.internal("Sprites.png"))); but no luck...Sprites.png is just right in the package this class is in

While using this:

spriteMap = new Texture(new Pixmap(Gdx.files.internal("Sprites.png")));

be totally sure you have a file called "Sprites.png" (with the capital 'S') inside your assets folder.

assets/Sprites.png

If you have a folder between, for example data (created with the Libgdx-setup-ui by default). then you would need to put it aswell.

assets/data/Sprites.png

If you are sure the file is there. Then:

• If running from eclipse, refresh your project ( f5 ), it may be unsynchronized)
• If this only happens in the Desktop project, then maybe your assets folder is not correctly linked.

Edit:

You edited your question :p

Sprites.png is just right in the package this class is in

thats your problem, Gdx.files.internal looks into the Android assets folder. not the folder in which the class is in.
