Issue with UIImage files not being found on phone

Question

Note: Using Monotouch. I have a directory called Images where I have all my PNG files. In my code I have the following

_imgMinusDark = UIImage.FromFile("images/MinusDark.png");

On the simulator it runs fine, on the phone it's null. I have the Images folder content (all the PNGs) in my MonoDevelop marked as Content in terms of Build Action.

What am I missing?

thanks

Answer 1

Don't know if this is the case for Mono, but with standard UIKit the imageNamed method is case sensitive on the device and case insensitive on the simulator, which can lead to the exact problem you're describing.

Answer 2

Add your Bundle's path to the full path using Path.Combine(bundlepath, "images/MinusDark.png")
