Is it possible to load a drawable from the assets folder?

Question

Can you load a drawable from a sub directory in the assets (not the drawable folder) folder?

Answer 1

Yes you can create a Drawable object from an InputStream using the createFromStream() method.

Answer 2

I was working in a RecyclerView adapter and found that David's answer was not working for me, (for some reason asset.open remained Unresolved no matter what I imported )

so I found this to work for me (Kotlin code)

val d = Drawable.createFromStream(context?.assets?.open("imageData/${imageName}.png"), null)

here is my directory, as you can see the assets start from the assets folder and here is a link on how to create that assets folder
