Try Bitmap.getBitmapResource("bg_general.png")

I think the file system is basically flattened in the cod file.

Bitmap.getBitmapResource("bg_general.png") is the correct way to display the images. It works for me. Also, check whether the image is empty.

You might want to check "Bitmap.getBitmapResource - How to navigate through a folder hierarchy to refer to a PNG file."

Bitmap.getBitmapResource("images/bg_general.png");

remove the first /, the getBitmapResource function works with the res-folder as baseURL.

It looks like it Searches for the file name automatically.... logically/makes sence to me it would be:

Bitmap logo = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("src/001.png");

or

Bitmap logo = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("res/001.png");

but just saying "001.png" is enough

Bitmap logo = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("001.png");
