Could not load wrapper properties in android studio

please help me, when i create a new project in android studio there is an error
Could not load wrapper properties from Could not load wrapper properties from 'C:\Users\baren\AndroidStudioProjects\ToyaGarage\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties'.

enter image description here

In my case, I have a blank space at the end of "distributionUrl" row

I Searched for your problem and i found this,maybe this solution can help you https://stackoverflow.com/a/64439711/15805169

Delete the wrapper properties file in your app that is having the problem and copy the wrapper property file from your working apps to the same place where you deleted that file.
this is like the basic path to get to that file
C:\Users\TT Virtual\AndroidStudioProjects\KotlinFirebaseAuth\gradle\wrapper
remember this here is my path to that file

CLOSED - How do I import another class not in Java Library

I have this code in my java project, which reads a file and converts it into a string.
String txt = FileUtils.readFileToString(text);
It uses this class https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/apidocs/org/apache/commons/io/FileUtils.html
How do I import this into my project?
Thanks :)

If you are using Ant as a build in tool then below solution works,
Step - 1: download .jar file from here,
Step - 2: Then after add it into your class path likewise,
Project right click -> properties
Step 3 : find Jar from you machine, and add it to your class path. likewise,
Click -> OK.
Now, Your problem has been resolved.

First of all you are looking for deprecated method. I suggest you should not use deprecated methods if possible.
Secondly, if you just want to get content of file in String, you can do it in following way with java.nio.file.Files and without using any third party library.
File file = new File("abc.txt");
String txt = new String(Files.readAllBytes(file.toPath()));

Include commons-io jar in build path of your project by downloading it from Apache site -
https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/download_io.cgi

Try following what Rene said here:
Add commons-io dependency to gradle project in Android Studio
You can also try to drag the jar file under Jar folder of lib after downloading it, then right click on the Jar file and select the "Add as library" option. Then select your app from the dialog box.

Why does getResource return null

I'm trying to access a file in my project. But getResource method returns null.
This is how my project looks like:
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("assets/xxx.png"); //returns null
And how project folder in eclipse workspace looks like:
Why? I want to access files in my assets folder?
Edit
I created a jar file and this is content of the jar:
Solved
First of all, I've a lot of image files so I want to organize all them in a folder. I put the assets folder in src directory and finally I was able to access the files.
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("assets/xxx.png");

There are lot of ways to add a resource to the jar file, you can put it in src, add as a resource if you use maven, ant etc... If you able to bundle whole directory then you should be able to use your original piece of code.
With the current structure you can use following piece of code.
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("/xxx.png").

Try using / prefixing.
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("/xxx.png")

For someone struggling as me. For Maven just run mvn clean install.
After that Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource() should work.

Is there a reason you're using the the class loader of the current class? Something like this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("/xxx.png") should be more reliable.

Use the following code, it should work.
YOUR_CLASS_HERE.class.getClass().getResource( "/xxx.png" );
e.g.
Signin.class.getClass().getResource( "/xxx.png" );

Either Approach will work. its just Filepath issue.
Your Jar Structure shows no "asset" Folder
xxx.png file is directly in Jar File.
Try to remove "assets" from below line of code.
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("assets/xxx.png"); //returns null
Also, if you want to use "assets" folder in ur classpath, please ensure that your jar contains "assets" folder.

Java - Audio URL

I have a audio file stored in a folder within the project and I'm trying to call the sound file within the folder.
I am able to call the file using the full URL
new java.net.URL("file:C:\NetBeansProjects\Puzzle\audio\applause2.wav"));
But is there a way to shorten it so that if I move the project I don't require changing the code?
Thanks

File file = new File("audio\applause2.wav");
Assuming you keep the audio folder at the same level relative to the jar

Opening a xml file from eclipse and from a .jar file in java

Yesterday, I had a problem because I couldn't manage to open a xml file (it owuld give me a FileNotFoundException) located in the ressources folder of my .jar file, which I managed to open on eclipse using the following lines of code. You can see my old problem here. This was my code with the problem :
File xmlFile = new File("ressources/emitter.xml");
ConfigurableEmitter emitter = ParticleIO.loadEmitter(xmlFile);
Someone told me it that one way was to use getClassLoader().getRessourceAsStream method to open a xml file in a .jar file that was exported
InputStream i= this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("ressources/emitter.xml");
ConfigurableEmitter emitter = ParticleIO.loadEmitter(i);
Unfortunately, that solution only works when I export my project into a .jar file, so if I want to go back debugging my program, I have to take the old code that would only works on eclipse.
My question is: is there any better way to do this without having to change my code if I want to export it or if I want to debug it?
Thank you
edit :
Thank you all, it works perfectly fine now
my problem was that I put my ressources folder like that :
+project
+src
+ressources
+emitter.xml

InputStream i= this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("/ressources/emitter.xml");
The above should work in both cases (Note is is /resources/.... This is assuming say your directory structure is below:
MyProject
+src
+ressources
emitter.xml

Place the file alongside your source files, then you can use the getResourceAsStream() method in both cases. Don't forget to update the path (which should be the package name of your class, but with slashes instead of dots).

My question is: is there any better way to do this without having to
change my code if I want to export it or if I want to debug it?
Yes, use Maven. Maven will handle that and it hooks into Eclipse beautifully (NetBeans too!) What you do is place the resource in src/main/resources and then you can have Eclipse run the test goal of the Maven project or you can just run mvn test from the command line. Another advantage of using Maven here is that you can also have src/test/resources/emitter.xml which overrides the one in src/main with environment-specific test instructions and it won't affect your deployment.

InputStream i= getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("ressources/emitter.xml");
or
InputStream i= getClass().getResourceAsStream("/ressources/emitter.xml");
(note the absolute positioning)
both work when the class is in the same jar, on the same class path.
In the jar the names must be case sensitive, but as the jar already works. Ensure that the ressources directory is on the class path too, or copied to the target directory.
As "ressources" is probably configured yourself (not named "resources" as in English), you probably need to add it to the build somehow.
