GdxRuntimeException: File not found

Question

I'm following this tutorial on libgdx and I've hit a bit of a snag. I just finished the 'loading the assets' section. When I tried to run it, instead of getting the rain sound and a pink background, like the tutorial claims, I get errors up the wazoo. Here's my Drop.java:

package com.badlogic.drop;

import com.badlogic.gdx.ApplicationListener;
import com.badlogic.gdx.Gdx;
import com.badlogic.gdx.audio.Music;
import com.badlogic.gdx.audio.Sound;
import com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.GL10;
import com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.Texture;

public class Drop implements ApplicationListener {

    Texture dropImage;
    Texture bucketImage;
    Sound dropSound;
    Music rainMusic;


    @Override
    public void create() {      
        // load the images for the droplet and the bucket, 64x64 pixels each
          dropImage = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("droplet.png"));
          bucketImage = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("bucket.png"));

          // load the drop sound effect and the rain background "music"
          dropSound = Gdx.audio.newSound(Gdx.files.internal("drop.wav"));
          rainMusic = Gdx.audio.newMusic(Gdx.files.internal("rain.mp3"));

          // start the playback of the background music immediately
          rainMusic.setLooping(true);
          rainMusic.play();

    }

    @Override
    public void dispose() {
    }

    @Override
    public void render() {      
        Gdx.gl.glClearColor(1, 1, 1, 1);
        Gdx.gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

    }

    @Override
    public void resize(int width, int height) {
    }

    @Override
    public void pause() {
    }

    @Override
    public void resume() {
    }
}

and here are my errors. (Ones I think are important are bolded)

The weird thing is, I have all of the pngs and music files in my assets/data folders. They're all there, but the code isn't seeing them. Any idea what's causing this?

If the files are in assets/data, try using dropImage = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("data/droplet.png")); — Vikram

when you are using

Gdx.files.internal <- This only gets you to the assets folder. You have to direct it into any sub-directories you are wanting files from also.

and your files are in assets/data use

Gdx.files.internal("data/droplet.png")

Be sure to change all your other references also to the correct location.
