FileInputStream???
Jun 19th, 2009, 3:54am  
Hi,
my problem is quite simple: i just can't figure out how to load a file in my data folder into a fileIntputStream object.

the code (located in the setup function):
Code:

String typoPath = dataPath("typo.ttf");
FileInputStream ttf = new FileInputStream(typoPath);


it returns a "FileNotFound exception" error.

the path seems to be valid (print(typoPath) returns the good path).
I tried with absolute path, it didn't work neither...

What am i missing?

I think you mistakenly read the error.
If I paste your two lines in one of my projects, I get a "Unhandled exception type FileNotFoundException" error, which is quite different.

That means you must surround the creation of FileInputStream with a try / catch block, in case the file is not found, even if you are sure it is there.
