I want to add my app Icon to created folder instead of default folder icon.
I know i can create folder with following code.
String extr = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
File mFolder = new File(extr + "/My Application/Downloads");
if (!mFolder.exists()) {
mFolder.mkdirs();
}
By doing this, i'm getting following result.
but what i want is..
I have searched a lot, but no luck. can anyone help me out?
Thank you.
Directories do not have icons, and so whatever app or tool your screenshot is from is adding that. You would have to ask the developers of that app or tool what algorithm they are using to determine the icon to show.
Customization of folder icon is OS dependent.
On Windows you will use Desktop.ini file to assign a custom icon or thumbnail image to a folder. To simplify working with Desktop.ini you can use ini4j. Basically, you will need to create Desktop.ini in the folder, that you want to customize and specify path to the icon there. (Here is similar question)
On Mac OS the process is different. There are ways to access icons (for example, FileView or FileSystemView, also Quaqua). However I haven't found a way to set folder icon programmatically with Java.
Note: I assumed, that you want to add icon to arbitrary folder and not your app laucher.
After creating new directory you have to declare resource directory in your gradle file so that android studio can recognize new resource directory.

When I try to programatically set custom font from .ttf file in assets to button in my android app it returns error Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Font asset not found fonts/menubutton.ttf.
Assets folder is in main directory, and I use this code:
Typeface tpf = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(), "fonts/menubutton.ttf");
benterday.setTypeface(tpf);
How can I repair this error?
There is a new way to accomplish this:
put your_font.tff under app/src/main/res/font
create Typefaces using Typeface font = ResourcesCompat.getFont(context, R.font.your_font);
access font from xml layouts with android:fontFamily="#font/your_font"
source
This could be due to a number of issues. Please see which one works!
The font file is corrupted. Please see whether the app works with another standard ttf font.
Sometimes Android Build studio shows up bugs. Try cleaning the project and building again.
Verify the font folder and the font file name (no spaces etc.)
There is 2 ways to add fonts in android studio.
first way: right click on you app folder and choose:
app->New->Folder->Assets Folder
then in newly created folder right click and then selected "New->Directory" and set the name to "fonts".
now you can add your fonts here and your problem would be fixed.
second way is #andreaciri way that works in newer versions of android studio.
I'm trying to figure out how to change the following image on start app with LibGdx framework.
I would like to customize it with my logo , but I can not find the reference in the solution .
Thanks for your help.
For IOS platform you should add in your ios/assets folder your own splash images in all resolutions with defined naming structure of Apple.
"Default.png" - 320x480 iphone3gs
"Default#2x.png" - 640x960 iphone4
"Default~ipad.png" - 768x1024 ipad
"Default#2x~ipad - 1536x2048 ipad retina
...etc
more details you can find here ..
Libgdx project for iOS displaying libgdx splash when compiling through robovm on simulator?
In windows explorer go to <path to your project>/desktop/assets
You'll see the default LibGDX image and here you can put all of your assets files (images, fonts, etc). You may also need to refresh your project folders in Android Studio so that the new image(s) will show up.
The java file that loads the image is under the core/src folder. Open this file and you will see where it loads the default image. Change the name of the image to the name of your new image and that should do it.
NOTE: If you are planning to build for android also, android will only see assets that are located in the android/assets folder (it's annoying, but this is the only way it works). I don't use Android Studio, but look up how to set the working directory for your desktop project to use the android/assets folder (instead of desktop/assets). Then put all of your images into the android/assets folder. This one took me a while to find out when I first started building for android. So if your desktop build works, but android doesn't...this is what you need to do to fix it. :)
1)for android, go to asset folder and paste your image
2)Refresh the asset folder
3) in your create method
//libgdx.png is the default image name that provided by the libgdx
texture = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("data/libgdx.png"));
//in above code remove that "libgdx.png " and add your image name
Example:-
texture = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("your image name.png"));
I have tried right clicking on res and adding new folders and fils with -v11 at the end of the name but I don't see the folder in the res directory when I do this?
I have restared android studio and still don't see them? Or sometimes is says thats an invalid character?
I right click on res and this is what I see then I click new directory.
Thanks for the help in advance!!
The version qualifier starts with a "v". In your instance it would be menu-v11. If you don't see it go to Explorer/Finder/whatever and check for the folder presence there.
Also I'm guessing you're trying to provide different icons for the same menu for platforms below and above API 11. You do that by providing drawable-?dpi and drawable-?dpi-v11 resources. Then you have a different icon (with same name) for different platforms and only one menu resource which uses the icon.
EDIT: In Android Studio RC 1.0 everytime I create a layout resource it puts it in the /res folder instead of /res/layout. This is a bug and your problem may be related. I would check the parent folder.
I am trying to fix this problem. Trying different solutions but nothing works. I am using NetBeans IDE. I created a project with this structure and files:
E:\java\project\ecadpb\src\ecadpb
The image files are in
E:\java\project\ecadpb\src\
I have specified working folder for my project in Netbeans as E:\java\project\ecadpb
I have created my image icons like this
new ImageIcon("device21.png");
In my source file, it works perfectly while running the project in Netbeans but images are not showing up when I build and run my JAR file separately. But the image files are inside the JAR.
I have also tried the answers for the same question asked previously.
URL imageUrl=getClass().getResource("device21.png");
new ImageIcon(imageUrl);
But it doesn't work in my case. I am building a JAR file for the first time. Can anyone help me with this!!
A simple way of doing this will be to add the image in your classpath or a directory in your classpath say img as shown below:
E:\java\project\ecadpb\src\main\java\img\device21.png
And then load your image from this location like this:
ClassLoader classLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
URL resource = classLoader.getResource("img/device21.png");
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(resource);
Create a source folder called Images (ie if you're using eclipse, right-click your project -> new ->sourceFolder). Call it whatever you want, i called my Images. Put some images in it.
Now i had JLabels where i gave them ImageIcons. Look at the following code.
ImageIcon BPawn;
ImageIcon WPawn;
JLabel Label = new JLabel[8][8] //2D array of labels that gives each spot a position.
public void setPieces(){
//set up pawns in their respective positions.
BPawn = new ImageIcon("Images/BPawn.png", "BPawn");
WPawn = new ImageIcon("Images/WPawn.png", "WPawn");
for(int i=0;i<Label[0].length;i++){
Label[1][i].setIcon(BPawn);
Label[6][i].setIcon(WPawn);
}//end for
}//end setPieces.
There is a lot more in setPieces() method, but this glimpse is how you would reference the images in your source folder when you create an executable jar and want the images to show up.
I think answer could be one these suggestions here
I have used a similar approach,
a) Specify the package path to the image file name.
b) Make sure that the image file is not ommited by your build scripts and that it is present in your jar file.
In my drawable folders i have my icon image, and when testing i use it as a temp picture. I added 2 other images and a XML file and when ever the app loads the imageviews with the icon set to it has different images..
this is what it is meant to be be..
but this is what it is when i add other images to the drawable folder
And no, the names of the files are not the same.
The icon is called 'icon.png' - thats what it should be
instead it is 'ic_menu_compose.png' - a completely different name.
Also the files i'm adding are called:
'buttonnormal.png'
'buttonclicked.png'
and a XML file - 'buttonselector.xml'
Even if i dont use these images any where within my app the problem still occurs.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! :)
[EDIT]
Are you building your app inbetween tests?
In eclipse: Project > Build Automatically (ticked) (this regenerates your R file)
Are you referencing the image by a raw ID?
setImageResource(324234234); WRONG
setImageResource(R.drawable.blah); Right
Are you using drawable image names that are already in use by the Android system: http://androiddrawableexplorer.appspot.com/
Personally I would rename that images from "ic_menu_compose" to something like "icon_menu_compose_overwritten" just incase it is clashing and screwing up your R file.
