• Can you post a bit of code to see how you are trying to load an image? Usually you do not need to put any path information to access an image that is in the application directory so you can say something like

  var imageView = Ti.UI.createImageView({image: 'test.png'});
  

  You also need to be aware that an iPhone app will flatten the folders and by flatten I mean that the images will no longer be in a subfolder but in the root of the application folder itself.

• I had a wordy explanation of file structure and then I reread the first question. Did you edit out the filename itself in the debug output or is it really missing? I assume what is happening is you are using the value returned in the callback function which may just be the path. Have you tried appending the filename to it?

  For example I am using the same basic function to fetch an MP3 and here is how I am doing it. I build the full path to ensure I am accessing what I think I am after.

            get_remote_file('tts.mp3', audio_uri, function() {
              var sound = Ti.Media.createSound({url: Ti.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory + '/tts.mp3'});
              sound.play();
            });
  

• OHHHH…

  Thanks John for your last comment.

  It allows me to understand that I forgot the filename, in the file path, when the file exist in the applicationDataDirectory

  Here is the right code :

  var get_file =  function(filename, url, fn_end ) {
      var file_obj = {file:filename, url:url, path: null};
  
      var file = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory,filename);
      if ( file.exists() ) {
          file_obj.path = Titanium.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory+Titanium.Filesystem.separator+filename;
          alert(file_obj.path);
          fn_end(file_obj);
      }
      else {
  
          if ( Titanium.Network.online ) {
              var c = Titanium.Network.createHTTPClient();
  
              //c.setTimeout(10000);
              c.onload = function()
              {
  
  
                      Ti.API.info('finished downloading '+ filename +' from '+url);
  
                      var f = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory,filename);
                      f.write(this.responseData);
                      file_obj.path = Titanium.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory+Titanium.Filesystem.separator;
  
                  fn_end(file_obj);
  
              };
  
              c.open('GET',url);
              c.send();           
          }
  
  
  
      }
  };
  
  
  
  get_file("appcelerator.png","http://developer.appcelerator.com/assets/img/DEV_titmobile_image.png",createimage);
  

  Thanks again for your help !! :-)

• Does anyone know what is the right path??? I don't see any valid answer for:

  app.js

  backgroundImage: 'MY_DIRECTORY/MY_PICTURE.png'

  this is crazy it works in the emulator but not on the device. Could anyone help on this please?
