Read file – Java io. FileNotFoundException

public void loadFile(int level){

public void loadFile(int level){

    try {
                //Create new file
                levelFile = new File("assets/levels.txt");
                fis = new FileInputStream(levelFile);
                isr = new InputStreamReader(fis);    
                reader = new BufferedReader(isr);

                //Code to read the file goes here

However, with this code, I keep receiving the above error (Java. Io. FileNotFoundException)

The file must exist in my assets folder and have the correct name I found several similar problems here and tried all kinds of things, including refreshing the project, cleaning up the project, and using "levels. TXT" instead of "assets / levels. TXT", but I always received this error

Any ideas?

Solution

Because you are working outside the package, getresource () will be the best solution to your problem:

URL url = getClass().getResource("/assets/levels.txt");
File f = new File(url.toURI());
//....

Alternatively, you can use the getresourceasstream () method to get the input stream directly:

InputStream  is= getClass().getResourceAsStream("/assets/levels.txt");
isr = new InputStreamReader(is);

It's better because you don't have to use FileInputStream

Note that urisyntaxexception must be captured or declared as thrown using FileNotFoundException
