^^ Dont mind the "ui" folder in the filepath I was just trying something there, plain "interface.txt" did not work either

When we want to package images or other 'resources' with our code, java has a special resources folder you can put your assets in.

Hi guys, I am facing an issue with the code which was provided earlier in here and I dont know how to resolve it. ``` public void userGui() {

    try (InputStream in = getClass().getResourceAsStream("interface.txt");
            BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in))) {

            System.out.println(reader);
        
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    
}``` Throws a nullpointer, i will provide my project tree below.

I don’t know where to put the interface.txt so Java can see it

No, it depends of what he wants

ah

you just want to display an image ?

it should be in source/resource

and the path should be /interface.txt

[dry condor]
