I'm developing a game on Eclipse. Im using Java language. The game needs to load .tmx files. I don't know if my codes are correct.
CCSprite bgtitle;
CGSize winSize = CCDirector.sharedDirector().displaySize();
protected CCTMXTiledMap tmap;
protected CCTMXLayer bbackground;
protected MenuLayer() {
super();
bgtitle = CCSprite.sprite("titlescreen.png");
bgtitle.setPosition(CGPoint.ccp(winSize.width / 2.0f, winSize.height / 2.0f));
bgtitle.setScaleX(winSize.width/bgtitle.getTexture().getWidth());
bgtitle.setScaleY(winSize.height/bgtitle.getTexture().getHeight());
addChild(bgtitle,0);
tmap = CCTMXTiledMap.tiledMap("tutorial1.tmx");
//^ This is where the error occurs
bbackground = tmap.layerNamed("Background");
addChild(tmap, 1);
}
I'm getting this error messages from logcat:

The error is nullpointerexception but the tilemap is already in the assets folder. I tried putting it to the other folders but it still didnt work. Any suggestions and examples will be appreciated.
