Is it possible to load a drawable from the assets folder?

Solution 1:

Hope this help:

Drawable d = Drawable.createFromStream(getAssets().open("Cloths/btn_no.png"), null);

Solution 2:

I recommend to use this

 Drawable.createFromResourceStream(resources,new TypedValue(), resources.getAssets().open(filename), null)

which returns properly scaled drawable thanks to resources ...

Solution 3:

Here's a class with static method to get the drawable from the assets. It also closes the inputstream.

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;

public class AssetsReader {

    public static Drawable getDrawableFromAssets(Context context, String url){
        Drawable drawable = null;
        InputStream inputStream = null;
        try {
            inputStream = context.getAssets().open(url);
            drawable = Drawable.createFromStream(inputStream, null);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            if(inputStream != null) {
                try {
                    inputStream.close();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        }
        return drawable;
    }
}
