ImageListView not taking Image from Assets

[Nikhil_Kumar]

Hi Team

I am using ImageListView Component in Appzard. I have uploaded image in assets of my project and placed Image in add item block. But image is not displaying in app. I have tested in companion and APK as well. Please see the blocks mentioned below.

I have also added DefaultFileScope to Asset.

Thanks

This is a workaround that works on both companion and APK:

Of course, the file component shouldn’t be required, we will fix this in the next update.

Thanks for your response. The blocks are working fine

However, it is strange (at least for me) that this path to the assets works with the APK (for an image):
file:///android_asset/image1.png

Of course, with Companion it’s clear that it works.
file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.appzard.companion/files/assets/image1.png

Yes, but the ImageListView component uses an external library (Picasso) to load images asynchronously which requires URIs such as file://android_asset/ for assets, file://path/to/file or even https://somesite.com/image1.png.
Btw, another solution to use assets in the image list view component is to prefix the asset name with //, it would work in APKs but not supported in the companion.

Thanks for the explanation!

or even https://somesite.com/image1.png

But http://localhost/image1.png doesn’t seem to work (as it does with WebViewer).

Not sure that way it will work or not. But the correct url should be

http://localhost:8888/image1.png

http://localhost:8888/image1.png

No, this (http://localhost:8888/test.html) also doesn’t work with the WebViewer.

@BodyMindPower

But http://localhost/...html

works with the WebViewer.

It should now be possible to use // as a prefix for assets in the ImageListView component and it would work in both APK and the companion with the latest release:
