Does your book constructor take in a URL?

[haughty otter]

It takes a string

Actually im beginner but i just want to use my images im image folder

[alpine wigeon]

Show me your constructor

Or rather show me where you are using the image path

[haughty otter]

public class Book {
    private String title;
    private String thumbImage;
    private String largeImage;
    
    public Book(String title, String thumbImage, String largeImage) {
        this.title = title;
        this.thumbImage = thumbImage;
        this.largeImage = largeImage;
    }
    
    public String getTitle() {
        return title;
    }
    
    public void setTitle(String title) {
        this.title = title;
    }
    
    public String getThumbImage() {
        return thumbImage;
    }
    
    public void setThumbImage(String thumbImage) {
        this.thumbImage = thumbImage;
    }
    
    public String getLargeImage() {
        return largeImage;
    }
    
    public void setLargeImage(String largeImage) {
        this.largeImage = largeImage;
    }
    
    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return title;
    }
}```

here it is

it's written in my homwork all should be String

but somehow here the string turned into url , but this doesn't mean it's an image?

[alpine wigeon]

Does the error show you which line it occurred on?

I suspect it is somewhere where you are declaring the source of the image

[haughty otter]

i thought im not having the correct path

[alpine wigeon]

Show me coverviewercontroller

[haughty otter]

package application;
import javafx.beans.value.ChangeListener;
import javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue;
import javafx.collections.FXCollections;
import javafx.collections.ObservableList;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.scene.control.ListView;
import javafx.scene.image.Image;
import javafx.scene.image.ImageView;


public class CoverViewerController {
    @FXML private ListView<Book> booksListView;
    @FXML private ImageView coverImageView;
    
    private final ObservableList<Book> books = FXCollections.observableArrayList();
    
    public void initialize() {
        books.add(new Book("Android How to Program","/images/small/androidhtp.jpg","/images/large/androidhtp.jpg"));
        books.add(new Book("C How to Program","/images/small/chtp.jpg","/images/large/chtp.jpg"));
        books.add(new Book("C++ How to Program","/images/small/cpphtp.jpg","/images/large/cpphtp.jpg"));
        books.add(new Book("Internet and World Wide Web How to Program","/images/small/iw3htp.jpg","/images/large/iw3htp.jpg"));
        books.add(new Book("Java How to Program","/images/small/jhtp.png","/images/large/jhtp.png"));
        books.add(new Book("Visual Basic How to Program","/images/small/vbhtp.jpg","/images/large/vbhtp.jpg"));
        books.add(new Book("Visual C# How to Program","/images/small/vcshtp.jpg","/images/large/vcshtp.jpg"));
        booksListView.setItems(books);
        
        booksListView.getSelectionModel().selectedItemProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Book>() {
            @Override
            public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Book> ov, Book oldValue,Book newValue) {
                coverImageView.setImage(new Image(newValue.getLargeImage()));
            }
        });

    }
}

[alpine wigeon]

This is where the error comes from

[haughty otter]

books.add(new Book("Android How to Program","C:\Users\x\Desktop\LAB2.3\src\images\large\chtp.jpg","C:\Users\x\Desktop\LAB2.3\src\images\large\\chtp.jpg"));

If you want to use the RELATIVE path, you can use a different method.

ImageView().setImage(new Image(getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("path.img")));

Sorry I mean relative path

[haughty otter]
