libGdx: Sprite is not drawn when there is a stage

Question

I'm sure I'm missing something VERY obvious here, but I'm beginner so don't crush me please. My problem is that I have a stage that has a viewport small than the screen. Now I also want to draw a Sprite on the screen directly using Sprite.draw(SpriteBatch). The position of the Sprite and the stage don't overlap. The stage is drawn just fine, but the Sprite is not visible. When I comment out the stage.draw() part in the render-method, then the Sprite is visible. Code: This is my render-method: ``` @Override public void render(float delta) { Gdx.gl.glClearColor(0.851f, 0.894f, 0.992f, 1f); Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT); camera.update(); stage.act(delta); batch.setProjectionMatrix(camera.combined); batch.begin(); stage.draw(); logoSprite.draw(batch); batch.end(); } ``` Here, I initialize the camera and stage (stageHeight is an int that is just 3/5*the height of the screen): ``` camera = new OrthographicCamera(); camera.setToOrtho(false, SwapItGame.WIDTH, SwapItGame.HEIGHT); st…

Accepted Answer

Try moving

```
stage.draw();
```

above batch operations

```
stage.draw();
batch.setProjectionMatrix(camera.combined);
batch.begin();
logoSprite.draw(batch);
batch.end();
```
