Libgdx AssetManager works in eclipse but not on a runnable jar

The code looks something like this:

if (Gdx.app.getType() == ApplicationType.Android) path = "data/images/";
if (Gdx.app.getType() == ApplicationType.Desktop) path = "./bin/data/images";

(if i use "data/images/" for Desktop, i get a crash).

assetmanager.load(path + fileName), assetmanager.finishLoading() and later assetmanager.get(path + fileName) works perfectly in Eclipse and also on Android, but when i create a runnable .jar and launch it from console, i get Asset not loaded: ./bin/data/images/image.jpg. So for some reason it cannot access the data folder inside my .jar archive. How do i fix this?

Thanks!

Solution

  • Well, it appers that when using Gdx.files.internal("data/images/").list() on a desktop app, it always returns an empty list. I guess ./bin/data/images/ was not affected by that. That is also why "data/images/" only worked on Android. The solution is to add every image manually, instead of looping through the folder. Thank you for your help!
