Runtime Error after buling apk

[amdriod95]

Hello, I am a beginner and just managed to make my first build. It’s running fine in the simulatar but when I start the app in my phone I see the following error:

Runtime Error

 C:\Users\username\docume~1\outlaw\sandbox\38\gamePlay.lua:250: attempt to index local ‘healthDisplay’ (a nil value)

here is what healthDisplay looks like in my code:

  if health==5 then   local healthDisplay = display.newImage("/images/health.png")   healthDisplay:scale(0.6,0.6)   healthDisplay.x =screenRight - 60   healthDisplay.y=screenTop + 17   sceneGroup:insert(healthDisplay)

I have everything I’m using in one folder and it runs fine in the simulator. I don’t know whats going wrong here. Am I doing something wrong while making the apk ? Please Help.

First, the issue -

This:

local healthDisplay = display.newImage("/images/health.png")

should probably be this (no leading forward slash):

local healthDisplay = display.newImage("images/health.png") 

Second, although my module might not catch that, it will help with other common file naming issues:

Just follow the direction on the page and this should help with other file case naming and similar issues.  You can leave it in your project when building as it turns itself off on devices.

Cheers,
