Hello!
I am not sure if I am in the right spot or not. I am experimenting with modifying the sample code in the Java tutorials, specifically the RadioButtonDemo. Instead of their pictures of various critters, I thought I would comic strips saved in an images folder.
Here is where the folder (with the comic strips) is: C:\Documents and Settings\jenr\Images
When I compile and run it, here is the error I get:
Couldn't find file: C:\Documents and Settings\jenr\Images\jefferson.gif
I am thinking I am misunderstanding what this chunk of code is supposed to do:
/** Returns an ImageIcon, or null if the path was invalid. */
protected static ImageIcon createImageIcon(String path) {
java.net.URL imgURL = Main.class.getResource(path);
if (imgURL != null) {
return new ImageIcon(imgURL);
} else {
System.err.println("Couldn't find file: " + path);
return null;
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to tune up my skills in preparation for starting the process of getting certified in JAVA for my employer.
Thanks,
Jen
