Hi everybody!
In my project I have dir 'data' with images. How I can draw images from this dir? I tried to use method decodeFile of class BitmapFactory:

but without any success. I think a have mistake in relative file path of image. Can anybody say how to draw this image?

Project tree:

Code: Select all

./ProjectDir
    ./res
    ...
    ./src
    ...
    ./data
        ./image.jpeg

I checked documentation but did not find solution =(

You cant just create resource subfolders at your wish.. it bothers me too any now and then..
but you will have to life with that.

It is not useful for me, because I want to add and draw files in this folder, without recompiling my code.

Well.. sorry for being unuseful.. but thats how it is. You can create folders like you want..
but you cant access files in there. Put the images in the raw folder or in the drawable folder.

My mistake, sorry =\
As I understand, I can get access to files in recourse folder only. Is it right?

Yes thats right.

Ok. But I know only 1 way to get bitmap from source folder:

It works.. but if I add new file in this folder, I'll need to recompile code, to draw new image. How can I draw new images without recompiling?

If you create new images while the app is running in one way or the other.. store them in you app directory
by not assigning a path or store the images on the sdcard.
You can later access those files via normal java file access methods.
There is a tutorial floating around in this forum covering the basics of file accessing.

Thanks, I'll try to implement all cases
