Image not showing up on Android (Galaxy)

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I have been learning and developing with Corona, but I cannot get certain image to show up.

Properties of the image is
enemy.png
32 bit depth
64 x 64 px
72 by 72 dpi
Frames 1

I’ve checked that the spelling and capitalization, for image name to code (all lower-case).

The image in one of Peach’s tutorial called bead.png with exact same properties, is working perfectly. But if I substitute the image with my enemy.png, the game will stop working.

Are there any obvious known causes for this error?
Any help is appreciated! [import]uid: 134578 topic_id: 24732 reply_id: 324732[/import]

File location?
Is it in the same folder?

The ultimate test is to take your image, rename it as bead.png, and overwrite the one that was working.
If it works there, one of the things you reckon you checked wasn’t checked properly.

Unlikely, but…
If the replaced bead.png doesn’t work, check the colour space of the new image. I heard of an interesting problem in another context (not Corona) yesterday, where an image defined as CMYK colorspace would fail to display, where a one defined in RGB colorspace would work.

Thanks for the reply and a nice idea. (To not face any directory problems, all the files are in the same folder)

The renaming of the file did not work either. Perhaps the problem is because I copy-pasted a portion of the image from different bit-depth image. When I create a new image on Gimp with just scribbles, things are working fine. [import]uid: 134578 topic_id: 24732 reply_id: 100232[/import]

OK.
So that means the image is definitely at fault.
Open the original BEAD.PNG file
Paste your image on top.
Save it.

Another possible cause was saving a file which is NOT a PNG file, with a PNG extension. [import]uid: 108660 topic_id: 24732 reply_id: 100233[/import]

Thanks for the help! your solution did the trick.

I kept on trying to create new image and it wasn’t working. I still find it weird, because opening a already-working image and pasting over the image will work, while creating new file and pasting on white canvas will not (When I paint something new it will have no problem).

Anyways, thanks so much! [import]uid: 134578 topic_id: 24732 reply_id: 100240[/import]
