On the bright site, it’s easier now, read here. The setup process changed slightly again. This series is going to look at all of those aspects of LibGDX eventually. So basically LibGDX is pretty much a one stop game development library. It provides a full suite of 2D game functionality including Input, Graphics, Fonts, Physics, Storage and increasingly, 3D. Why the hell fix what isn't broken? It almost always breaks what was perfectly fine.In case you’ve never heard of it, LibGDX is a Java based game library capable of targeting iOS, Android, Desktop ( Windows, Mac and Linux ) and HTML5. Funny that all this code worked fine on my tablet and Eclipse, however Android Studio is being a broken POS, and this is the 'preferred' IDE for development? I had less problems with Eclipse and AIDE (for mobile) except that AIDE pushes libGDX for game development but doesn't fully support the Gradle build that libGDX pushes for uses to utilize rather than downloading the simple to use zip folder with the libs in it. And I am using the default skin that I pulled off GitHub.

However I still get the file not found error. Desktop launcher config is using that folder for the working path as is the ONLY thing I've found online to look at for Android Studio and this particular issue. The JSON, Atlas, and PNG files are all in android/assets/data folder.

Regardless, when I run the desktop launcher the first file it attempts to load causes a file not found crash: skin = new Skin(('/data/defaultSkin.json')) It's broken horribly as necessary folders were not created as they used to be, or were not properly imported by Android Studio. Finally at the point to test and run, but first I hate the setup UI for libGDX.

I used the libGDX setup UI to create a new project, copied sources from my tablet project and fixed all the errors due to libGDX version changes.
