How to load image for Android ImageView from classpath?

[Klaus Claszen]

Hi,

I have an Android App which contains an external dependend jar library. This external library contains some png-bitmaps which I want to show on some ImageViews in my application.

Looking inside the apk file of my application I can find the images in a sub directory ("aq\img") as expected.

What is the best way to show an image (insight the classpath) on a ImageView.

I tried this

ImageView imgView01 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
Drawable d = Drawable.createFromPath("aq/img/sample.png");
imgView01.setImageDrawable(d);

and this

InputStream is = ClassLoader
        .getSystemResourceAsStream("sample.png");
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
imgView01.setImageBitmap(bm);

but it did not work (I did not really expect it to be that simple). The image remains empty.

Thanks for help!

Try:

InputStream is = getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("aq/img/sample.png");
