Invalid Resource Specified on dc.drawBitmap

Former Member over 10 years ago

I have a code like this:

class TestView extends Ui.View

{

    var bitmap;

    function initialize()

    {

        View.initialize();

        bitmap = Ui.loadResource(Rez.Drawables.id_icon);

    }



    function onUpdate(dc)

    {

...

        if (bitmap != null) {

        	dc.drawBitmap( 20, 20, bitmap);

       }

}

Compile it with SDK 2.1.4 and 2.1.3, then running in emulator gives me:

Failed invoking <symbol>

Invalid Resource Specified

id_icon specified in resources.xml

<resources>

    <bitmap id="id_icon" filename="images/icon.png" dithering="none"></bitmap>

    ...

</resources>

Any idea what's I'm doing wrong?

Try terminating the bitmap element like this...

<bitmap id="id_icon" filename="images/icon.png" dithering="none" />

You might also put the bitmap element into a <drawables> element like this...

<resources>

    <drawables>

        <bitmap id="id_icon" filename="images/icon.png" dithering="none" />

    </drawables>

</resources>

Let me know if that works.

Tried both - same result.
As I can see resource correctly found and loaded (Ui.loadResource returns non-null value), but then error happens while drawing the bitmap.
Also I've tried to use different images (1-16 colors) - same result.

May be the problem is the way I build it?

C:\tools\connectiq-sdk-win-2.1.4\bin\monkeyc.bat -o app.prg -m manifest.xml -y developer_key.der -z resources\resources.xml MyApp.mc

Solved adding param -p with path to projectInfo.xml in SDK bin dir.

Actually this is caused by omitting: -d,--device arg.

When compiling resources like bitmap, you must choose some device - this will work:
monkeyc -y dev_key.der -o app.prg -f app\monkey.jungle -d <device_name>
