I got error with rendering sprite in Eclipse libGDX

Question

I'm trying to make basic game in Eclipse libGDX. I have Problem with rendering sprite. I do everything like it shoud be, but I still get this Error:

LwjglGraphics: created OpenGL 3.2+ core profile (GLES 3.0) context. This is experimental! Exception in thread "LWJGL Application" com.badlogic.gdx.utils.GdxRuntimeException: Couldn't load file: BG.png at com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.Pixmap.(Pixmap.java:148) at com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.TextureData$Factory.loadFromFile(TextureData.java:98) at com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.Texture.(Texture.java:100) at com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.Texture.(Texture.java:92) at com.zebrabandit.egghead.Assets.Load(Assets.java:13) at com.zebrabandit.egghead.GameScreen.(GameScreen.java:24) at com.zebrabandit.egghead.EggHead.create(EggHead.java:10) at com.badlogic.gdx.backends.lwjgl.LwjglApplication.mainLoop(LwjglApplication.java:147) at com.badlogic.gdx.backends.lwjgl.LwjglApplication$1.run(LwjglApplication.java:124) Caused by: com.badlogic.gdx.utils.GdxRuntimeException: File not found: BG.png (Internal) at com.badlogic.gdx.files.FileHandle.read(FileHandle.java:136) at com.badlogic.gdx.files.FileHandle.readBytes(FileHandle.java:222) at com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.Pixmap.(Pixmap.java:145) ... 8 more

And here is my CODE:

    public static Texture backgroundT;
    public static Sprite backgroundS;
...
        backgroundT = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("BG.png"));
        backgroundT.setFilter(TextureFilter.Linear, TextureFilter.Linear);
        backgroundS = new Sprite(backgroundT);
        backgroundS.flip(false, true);
...
    @Override
    public void render(float delta) {
        Gdx.gl.glClearColor(1F, 1F, 1F, 1F);
        Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

        camera.update();

        batch.setProjectionMatrix(camera.combined);

        batch.begin();
            //rendering code :D
            batch.draw(Assets.backgroundS, 0, 0);
        batch.end();
    }

Answer 1

I assume you have initialized your project with the setup application Tool (gdx-setup.jar).

Then it's possible you are experiencing the working directory setup problem. That's what the error says(Couldn't load file)

In IDEA IDE I have to edit configuration so the working directory points to folder in project: android\\assets

File not found question was answered here

Answer 2

Couldn't load file: BG.png at com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.Pixmap.(Pixmap.java:148) at ...

I think your problem is you are trying to load a file, that is not there. Are you absolutely sure that there is a file in that location Gdx.files.internal("BG.png") .

Also you will have many problems if you are trying to load assets with uppercase characters in their names on android. So if your file is there, try renaming it to all lowercase characters.
