I am a newbie in libgdx and just got it setup in android studio. Now I am getting this error when I press run for the first time.

Answer 1

Are you run Desktop Application? Make sure you link your desktop assets to android assets folder?

On Eclipse : New libgdx setup receive file not found

Edited:

On Android Studio

Choose Edit Configuration.. => "Working directory" => Change folder to android/assets

Answer 2

static{
    System.out.println(Gdx.files.getLocalStoragePath());
}

It displayed the path to the project root folder outside the android/desktop specific modules. Copied to files to a path relative to the root folder of project and it worked.

Project Project/core Project/android Project/desktop Project/html Project/android/assets/data/img.png What worked: Project/data/img.png
