imageio.IIOException: Can't read input file
image, java
Solution
Have you tried using `new File("logo.jpg");` (without the leading /)?
And are you sure, the logo.jpg is copied to your output? (Some IDEs don't copy every file from your source-directories to your output (or target) directories.)
/src
|-> Window.java
|-> Logo.jpg
becomes
/out
|-> Window.class
(Note that the IDE/compiler does not copy the image to your output-directory and so the compiled code cannot find the image - allthough you did specify the correct path)
Problem
I've started Java a week ago, and now I would like to insert an image into my window. Whatever I try I keep having this in Eclipse: javax.imageio.IIOException: Can't read input file! ``` package graphics; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Graphics; import java.awt.Image; import java.io.File; import java.io.IOException; import javax.imageio.ImageIO; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; import src.Common; public class Window extends JFrame { public class Panel extends JPanel { public void paintComponent(Graphics g) { Image img; try { img = ImageIO.read(new File("/logo.jpg")); g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, this); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } public Window(String title, int width, int height) { this.setTitle(title); this.setSize(width, height); this.setLocationRelativeTo(null); this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); this.setContentPane(new Panel()); this.setVisible(true); } ``` } I think the code is pretty self-explaining. I tried to solve the problem with this, this, and that . What I'm trying to do is a desktop program, and my sources are stored like that : training/src/graphics/Window training/src/src/main I did put the image I want to read in every folder, and still getting the issue :/ What did I do wrong? EDIT Finally solved, here the answer nIcE cOw gave me the link that helped. So I did put my images into a folder, and change the way to access to them, as described in the link. ``` getClass().getResource("/images/yourImageName.extension"); ```
