Question

I am facing problem while setting the backGround Image of LinearLayout from asset folder.

String filePath="file:///android_asset/images/test.png";
    Drawable d = Drawable.createFromPath(filePath);
    frontTextView.setBackgroundDrawable(d);

Can someone help me out.

Answer 1

First you create a Drawable object from the asset file:

Drawable d = Drawable.createFromStream(getAssets().open(path_in_assets), null);

and then set it to some View that only supports Drawables as a background.
