Question

Imageview image = new ImageView(new Image("file: img.jpg"));

and also using ("/img.jpg") any suggestions ?

Answer 1

Your image should be stored under src/main/resources folder according to a Gradle project structure. Usually it should be under the same package as your class, in this case the following code will load the image:

Image image = new Image(YourClass.class.getResource("img.jpg").toExternalForm());
ImageView imageView  = new ImageView(image);
