Question

I cant understand what the error of this code.

public void run(String url) {

        try {
            FileInputStream file;
            file = new FileInputStream(this.getClass().getResource(url));
            Player p = new Player(file);
            p.play();
        }catch(Exception e){
            System.err.print( url + e);
        }
    }

when i try to run it, it says me “no suitable constructor found for FileInputStream(URL)”. Why its happening?

Answer 1

Put the file in root of folder of your class path (folder where your .class files are generated) and then use statements below:

  InputStream inputStream = 
                  getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(filePath);
  Player p = new Player(inputStream );

Here filePath is the relative file path w.r.t. the root folder.
