How to import images into an Android project?

Question

I'm using the Kilobolt Android framework. Using a custom Assets class, I'm loading images by using a BitmapFactory and reading the actual image from an InputStream . Now I'm having problems loading the bitmap from the folder, it keeps giving me an IOException .

I tried copying my image file directly to the drawable-xxhdpi folder. I don't understand why this isn't working.

My folders look like this:

src
 |--main
 |---|--java
 |---|---|--all the fancy java files :D
 |---|--res
 |---|---|--drawable-xxhdpi
 |---|---|---|--fancy images
 |---|---|--other folders and files...
 |---|--other folders and files...
 |--other folders and files...

If you're trying to get a Bitmap from a drawable in a res/drawable-** folder, you should use BitmapFactory.decodeResource(R.drawable.<drawable id>)

Edit: to get the Resources for decodeResource, you need to have a Context (such as an Activity or a Service), call getResources() to get the Resources object
