Hi all

Today I try to load the bitmap which has a name like this "9o4RLEUFMno.jpg" from Dir.Assets. But it says the file doesn't exist with the following message:

B4X: 
java.io.FileNotFoundException: 9o4rleufmno.jpg

In fact, this file do exist in the "Files" folder.
This is the codes I used to load the bitmap:
B4X: 
Dim mybmp As Bitmap=LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets,"9o4RLEUFMno.jpg")

The error message seems to return the file name in lowercase!

So is it a must to name the files to be placed in "Files" folder in lowercase?

You should add the file to the File Manager before using it. Filenames are case sensitive

Thanks you ! I have a lot of files to be added to "Files" folder, so I rarely use File Manager to add them. I know the file names are case sensitive as the Android OS itself treats upper case and lower case name differently.

I really wonder about this because I used to have many files with Uppercase letters in their names, but the file can be found correctly!

The IDE automatically changes the case of asset files to lower case. The same thing happens when you load the file at runtime. The string is converted to lower case.

Just click on the Sync button in the files tab and it will work properly.

Oh I see! Thanks you Erel!
