Issue loading relative path of image in javafx

Question

I have issue with relative path to my arrow.png.

I have the following set up of directories:

--resources
  --arrow.png
  --Accounts.txt
--src
  --Main.java

And in my Main.java I am trying to load image like this:

Image image = new Image("resources/arrow.png");

However, I am getting the following error:

Invalid URL: Invalid URL or resource not found

Which is suprising, as couple of lines above it, I load another file like this:

FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream("resources/Accounts.txt");

And it works..

Where am I doing mistake?

what is the package of Image ? Just look at the source code to see what happens this constructor — Olivier Boissé

did you try with Image image = new Image(getClass().getResourceAsStream("resources/arrow.png")); ? — Olivier Boissé

Try using the constructor: Image(InputStream). Does the problem repeat? — amit

Simply replace this code:

Image image = new Image("resources/arrow.png");

with this

Image img = new Image("file:resources/arrow.png");

Try with:

Image image = new Image(this.getClass().getResource("resources/arrow.png"));

this actually throws : Error:(183, 47) java: no suitable constructor found for Image(java.net.URL) constructor javafx.scene.image.Image.Image(java.lang.String) is not applicable (argument mismatch; java.net.URL cannot be converted to java.lang.String) constructor javafx.scene.image.Image.Image(java.io.InputStream) is not applicable (argument mismatch; java.net.URL cannot be converted to java.io.InputStream)

try this Image image = new Image(getClass().getResourceAsStream("resources/arrow.png"));

You can also use ImageIO, personally I think it is simpler to use:

img = ImageIO.read(new File("resources/arrow.png"));
