JavaFX Cannot Find Image - java

just started a new project and am already running in to some issues. I am trying to display an image with javafx but the compiler is complaining that the provided location is invalid. Here is all of my code so far (apart from some imports):
public class main extends Application{
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception{
Stage stage = primaryStage;
String version = "alpha";
stage.setTitle("Space Invaders v. " + version);
VBox vbox = new VBox();
Image pic = new Image("Art\\whiteMonster.jpg");
ImageView image = new ImageView(pic);
vbox.getChildren().add(image);
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(20,0,200,200);
rect.setFill(Color.BLACK);
vbox.getChildren().add(rect);
//Creating the scene.
Scene scene = new Scene(vbox);
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
}
}
If I change the file path to the images url where I found it in google image search it displays the black rectangle added beneath it (just to test if everything works) but not the image. In the current configuration however it simply throws an error saying the URL is either invalid or that the resource was not found. What makes me think that this should work is this example here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/scene/image/ImageView.html
Thanks for any help.
PS. I've been looking at other similar questions here but haven't found anything that helped me and if you feel like you need any other information give me a shout.
-----EDIT-----
Project Structure, Code and File Manager, all images are placed directly in the "Art" folder.
I hope that is all you need.

Try putting the image inside the folder .Drag the image to the "src" and use Image pic = new Image("whiteMonster.jpg");. It should be displayed under the .java files but a little bit in the left.

The solution for me was to Close Project and open the Javafx Project
again
as shown here
This refreshes the images URL for Javafx.
NOTE: I am using Intellij IDEA Java version 16 with Javafx.
Error was: Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid URL or resource not found

JavaFX-maven project suddenly stopped recognizing resources on InteliJ IDE

Yesterday my JavaFX-maven project was working fine in InteliJ IDE, but packed JRE with maven javaFX:jlink command was throwing similar exeption to this one I`ve got today with javaFX:run command:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid URL: Invalid URL or resource not found
at javafx.graphics/javafx.scene.image.Image.validateUrl(Image.java:1125)
at javafx.graphics/javafx.scene.image.Image.<init>(Image.java:618)
at javafx.graphics/javafx.scene.image.ImageView.<init>(ImageView.java:194)
at org.example/org.example.GameMenu.construct(GameMenu.java:20)
at org.example/org.example.App.start(App.java:23)
The code that throws exeption:
public class GameMenu {
static int picOfChoice = (int) (Math.random() * 6);
public static Font font = Font.loadFont(Objects.requireNonNull(GameMenu.class.getResource("/utility/pixRectv2.ttf")).toExternalForm(), 48);
public static Font font2 = Font.loadFont(Objects.requireNonNull(GameMenu.class.getResource("/utility/pixRectv2.ttf")).toExternalForm(), 32);
public static Group menu = new Group();
public static Group construct() {
menu = new Group();
ImageView logo = new ImageView("menu/logo3.png");
Image backg3 = new Image("backg/backgPL" + picOfChoice + ".png", winWidth, winHeight, false, false);
ImageView backgV3 = new ImageView(backg3);
menu.getChildren().add(backgV3);
logo.setX(0);
logo.setY(0);
menu.getChildren().add(logo);//Logo is on top
return menu;
}}
No code on that line was changed. Resources folder was not moved. pom.xml wasnt changed. Those png`s are accesible for R/W and
even recognized by IDE as images
I have tried different path formatting (absolute path included) and it did not help. But ImageView logo = new ImageView("file:menu/logo3.png"); loads no image, while not throwing any exeption.
I have tried opening my other javaFX projects and they all work, while using similar project structure and similar way of useing new ImageView(). I have created new project with javaFX and it loads images just fine, so I wasnt able to recreate this problem.
I have opened this project on other machines, it throws same exeptions.
Fonts of javaFX in code above still load fine. Similar way of loading images ( through GameMenu.class.getResource ) works too.
The question: How to fix it and how to avoid it in future?
My project folder tree
UPD:
Thanks to #James_D and #Dmitriy Popov for answers;
I have added new method for path extraction via widely used .class.getResource()
So fixed code looks like
ImageView logo = new ImageView(Utility.getImageRes("/menu/logo3.png"));
Where Utility.getImageRes(String) is
public static String getImageRes(String path) {
return Objects.requireNonNull(Utility.class.getResource(path)).toExternalForm();
}
It works now, both with javaFX:run and jlink commands. Reason why previous method stopped working is still unknown.

JavaFX is not displaying JPG files

For some reason, my application is not showing JPG files within a JavaFX window. It does not matter if I'm trying to display the image inside an ImageViewer node or setting it as a background with the CSS -fx-background-image: url(...); property.
I have tried with different jpg files. It did not work.
I have tried with different image extensions (png, gif). It did work.
I'm using OpenJDK 16+36 (I tested with Hotspot and OpenJ9 JVM), JavaFX 16, my operating system is Linux 5.11.16 and my window manager is GNOME Shell 3.38.4.
PS: Needless to say, the operating system handles JPG images without any problems.
What could be causing this behavior?
Edit 1:
For me, nothing that involves jpeg is working on JavaFX. Wether I try to use jpeg as an background-image, like this very Oracle's sample, or within an ImageViewer, the result is the same (the window opens normally, as if I hadn't put any image). If I replace the file with a different extension, it works perfectly. The funny thing is that jpeg is working without issues in Swing.
Here's one sample of the possible situations in which the issue happens:
/**
* JavaFX Application
*/
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
// opens a window with the image without issue and prints true
var fileUrl = getClass().getResource("/freemind.png");
var image = new Image(fileUrl.toExternalForm());
var imageViewer = new ImageView(image);
var vbox = new VBox(imageViewer);
var scene = new Scene(vbox);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
System.out.println(new File(fileUrl.getFile()).exists());
}
But when I replace the fileUrl with another existing jpg file, in the same directory, it opens a blank window, and prints true.
Edit 2:
I found the -Dprism.verbose=true -Djavafx.verbose=true debug flags, which were unknown to me, and they print the problem:
Stack trace here
Some JPEG library, which I am not sure whether it comes embedded in the JavaFX SDK or is related to the operating system is in a different version than the expected. Now, which library is that, I don't know!
rpm -qa | grep -P jpe?g returns:
libjpeg-turbo-2.0.5-5.fc33.i686
libjpeg-turbo-2.0.5-5.fc33.x86_64
libjpeg-turbo-devel-2.0.5-5.fc33.x86_64

Setting stage icon

My first intention was to set TextInputDialog icon. But I started from setting stage icon. I saw couple SO questions with marvelous answers containing usually 2 lines of code.
First I tried to put this icon to /resources/icons but exception "Invalid URL or resource not found" appeared. To be sure I don't make any mistake writing file path I moved this icon to /source/sample directory. I use code (I will post whole code):
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
FXMLLoader loaderModyfikacjaKonfiguracji = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("FXMLModyfikacjaKonfiguracji.fxml"));
Parent root = loaderModyfikacjaKonfiguracji.load();
stage.setTitle("Modyfikacja konfiguracji");
Image image = new Image("file:icon.png");
//stage.getIcons().removeAll();
stage.getIcons().add(image);
ControllerModyfikacjaKonfiguracji controllerModyfikacjaKonfiguracji = loaderModyfikacjaKonfiguracji.getController();
stage.setScene(new Scene(root, 510, 700));
stage.show();
}
Everywhere it looks so simple to set icon. I also tried .jpg. not using file: throws exception, using file: compiles but I see no effect of changed icon. What am I doing wrong or where is the problem?
I've successfully used this to set an icon before
primaryStage.getIcons().add(new Image(getClass().getResourceAsStream("AppIcon.png")));
In my case, the application fxml file and AppIcon.png are in the same directory.
If you dont want to go that route, i would suggest trying
Image image = new Image("file:./icon.png");
But that's a guess.

JavaFX - Cannot Load Image Inside Project Directory

I am using netbeans. I have a project directory like this:
HTMLEdit/
src/
htmledit/
- pic.png
- MyClass.java
I tried to get the image, but it return null. I had trying both of these but still cannot get it to work:
System.out.println(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/pic.png"));
and
System.out.println(getClass().getResourceAsStream("pic.png"));
What's causing this weird behavior?
EDIT :
It looks like it's because I choosed JAVAFX Project when created the project. I recreate the project by choosing Java Project and it works fine. May be this is Netbeans bug.
getClass().getResourceAsStream() is used for files embedded inside your java jar file. You should use FileInputStream if you need to read a file from your file system as a stream of bytes. Here's the documentation: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/io/FileInputStream.html
When you do getClass().getResourceAsStream("/pic.png")then the url that will be looked to access the file will be an absolute url. The absolute URL is indicated by the slash which is at the front of the resource location.
If you do getClass().getResourceAsStream("pic.png"), then a resource relative to the package where the class resides will be used.
Because you said that both of the getResourceAsStream() statements did not work in Netbeans, I checked the below JavaFX code in Netbeans and it worked perfectly.
public class MyClass extends Application{
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Pane root = new Pane();
Image images = new Image(getClass().getResourceAsStream("pic.png"));
ImageView image = new javafx.scene.image.ImageView(images);
root.getChildren().add(image);
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
Here is the structure and the output of the program.
In case if you want to know the Netbeans version, I am using then it is Netbeans 8.0.2.
Also, read the following post.

Internal graphics not initialized yet: javafx

I'm trying to write a javaFx application whit multiple images inside a window.
The short story is that I have an enum class named Candy and each candy has some properties and a path to the image file representing it.
In the constructor of my javafx.application class (Table) I want to fill an array list with those images, so I wrote this so far:
public class Table extends Application {
ArrayList<Image> images;
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
primaryStage.setTitle("CandyFx");
primaryStage.show();
}
public Table() {
images = new ArrayList<Image>();
for (Candy candy : Candy.values()) {
File file = new File (candy.getImagePath());
Image image = new Image(file.toURI().toString());
images.add(image);
}
}
}
Now every time I want to create an instance of Table class, the application throws a java.lang.RuntimeException: Internal graphics not initialized yet.
How can I initial graphics which it seems I did not?
First of all if you are using linux ,GTK 2.18 is required to run JavaFX .try to install
libswt-gtk-3-java
This exception will thrown whenever your screen is null .Try to create your images inside start method. Just before the primaryStage.show();.
Take a look at this link too
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~vadim/RT-33475/webrev.00/modules/graphics/src/main/java/com/sun/glass/ui/Screen.java.html
I have no idea how it exactly works, but when we first create a JFXPanel in our start we don't get the errors anymore.
JFXPanel jfxPanel = new JFXPanel();
Actually, JavaFX Stage class is the top level JavaFX container which should be constructed and modified on the JavaFX Application Thread.
Here you are using Stage class but have not embed JavaFx content into Swing application which may show you a 'java.lang.RuntimeException with message Internal graphics not initialized yet.
Here you may use-
JFXPanel jfxPanel = new JFXPanel();
Or you may use in this way too.
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Java Swing And JavaFX");
JFXPanel jfxPanel = new JFXPanel();
frame.add(jfxPanel);
JFXPanel is a component to embed JavaFX content into Swing applications. The content to be displayed is specified with the setScene(javafx.scene.Scene) method that accepts an instance of JavaFX Scene. After the scene is assigned, it gets repainted automatically. All the input and focus events are forwarded to the scene transparently to the developer.
