Question

How to load image from resource folder and set that image to source image of UI Image?

Answer 1

Place your sprite in any folder that begins with resources, e.g. mine is in "Resources/Images/test"

[SerializeField] private UnityEngine.UI.Image image = null;

private void Awake()
{
    if( image != null )
    {
        image.sprite = Resources.Load<Sprite>( "Images/test" );
    }
}

Answer 2

I try @ananonposter answer but fail.But I try another way by below code:

var image = new Image();
var tex = Resources.Load<Texture2D>("Sprites/transparent");
var sprite = Sprite.Create(tex, new Rect(0.0f,0.0f,tex.width,tex.height), new Vector2(0.5f,0.5f), 100.0f);
image.sprite = sprite;

It can work!
