I there any way to access images in contained within a local Asset Catalog from within TVML on the AppleTV?
I notice several of the templates in this example from Apple call out to resource://
URLs, which are common use images (more info on the dev forms). Here's an example button that gets rendered with the cloud symbol:
<buttonLockup>
<badge src="resource://button-cloud" class="whiteBadge" />
<title>Title 3</title>
</buttonLockup>
I tried pointing to some of my own resources instead of button-cloud
but didn't have any success.
I have been able to change the icon on these buttons by linking to an externally served image like so:
<buttonLockup>
<badge src="http://localhost:5000/static/heartFull.png" class="whiteBadge" width="50" height="50"/>
<title>Title 3</title>
</buttonLockup>
Since these buttons will be re-used throughout my app, I'd rather load them locally than repeatedly calling them over HTTP if possible.
I had some success linking directly to the filesystem
<badge src=\"file:///<url to bundle>/<relative path to resource>/<icon>.png\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" />
with... url to bundle
from NSBundle.mainBundle().bundleURL.absoluteString
, relative path
according to your setup, eg. resources
, images
, ... and icon
well, your image to show on the badge.
Pulling from Assets.xcassets
hasn't worked out so far, but then I am still in training. :-D
