Hi
I use local files in my puzzle app to be loaded dynamically (set filename). It works great in IDE, but on Android I get only empty images.
I read something about specific folders, but can't make it work. I also set "copy referenced files" to true, but I can't make it.

Can someone point me to the right tutorial, document or whatever to help me solve this ?

Help appreciated

Hi Mike,

1. welcome to the forum!

2. What did you try/script so far to set the filename?

3. Do you add your images via the standalone builder settings "Copy files..." tab?
If yes, you will find all your files/images in -> specialfolderpath("resources")
...
set the filename of img 1 to (specialfolderpath("resources") & "/cool_image.jpg")
...

Hi Mike,

Check if these APK and Compressed stack files (posted in a previous forum message)
could help in your Android development:

Tell me if these files works fine in your own setup.

Hi Mike,

I faced a similar issue, as earlier the image was not showing.
Please check the size of the image, and incase its too large, ensure to cut it short to fit in the right pixel dimensions. Or else change your imageview. Recheck your XML file. You may check out various android tutorial and search for the right tutorial, which can answer your query definitely. There are some tutorials which answer the image related problem you mention.
