I got error with rendering sprite in Eclipse libGDX

Question

I'm trying to make basic game in Eclipse libGDX. I have Problem with rendering sprite. I do everything like it shoud be, but I still get this Error:

LwjglGraphics: created OpenGL 3.2+ core profile (GLES 3.0) context. This is experimental! Exception in thread "LWJGL Application" com.badlogic.gdx.utils.GdxRuntimeException: Couldn't load file: BG.png at com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.Pixmap.(Pixmap.java:148) at com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.TextureData$Factory.loadFromFile(TextureData.java:98) at com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.Texture.(Texture.java:100) at com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.Texture.(Texture.java:92) at com.zebrabandit.egghead.Assets.Load(Assets.java:13) at com.zebrabandit.egghead.GameScreen.(GameScreen.java:24) at com.zebrabandit.egghead.EggHead.create(EggHead.java:10) at com.badlogic.gdx.backends.lwjgl.LwjglApplication.mainLoop(LwjglApplication.java:147) at com.badlogic.gdx.backends.lwjgl.LwjglApplication$1.run(LwjglApplication.java:124) Caused by: com.badlogic.gdx.utils.GdxRuntimeException: File not found: BG.png (Internal) at com.badlogic.gdx.files.FileHandle.read(FileHandle.java:136) at com.badlogic.gdx.files.FileHandle.readBytes(FileHandle.java:222) at com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.Pixmap.(Pixmap.java:145) ... 8 more

And here is my CODE:

    public static Texture backgroundT;
    public static Sprite backgroundS;
...
        backgroundT = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("BG.png"));
        backgroundT.setFilter(TextureFilter.Linear, TextureFilter.Linear);
        backgroundS = new Sprite(backgroundT);
        backgroundS.flip(false, true);
...
    @Override
    public void render(float delta) {
        Gdx.gl.glClearColor(1F, 1F, 1F, 1F);
        Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

        camera.update();

        batch.setProjectionMatrix(camera.combined);

        batch.begin();
            //rendering code :D
            batch.draw(Assets.backgroundS, 0, 0);
        batch.end();
    }

When I put to find a picture in external storage, it works :/ — Martin Pošmuga

I assume you have initialized your project with the setup application Tool (gdx-setup.jar).

Then it's possible you are experiencing the working directory setup problem. That's what the error says(Couldn't load file)

In IDEA IDE I have to edit configuration so the working directory points to folder in project: android\assets
