Content load crash

Android

The following exception is thrown whenever I attempt to load any Texture2d

Code:

background = Content.Load<Texture2D>("stars");

Exception:

The image file is in the “Content” folder and has Build Action:Content, Copy to Output Directory: Copy if newer

I see the following in the build log:

1>C:\Users\#\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\game\game\Content\stars.jpg : warning XA0101: @(Content) build action is not supported

How can I fix this?

Thanks

On Android, the Build Action must be set to AndroidAsset. That’s just how Android works.

I have similar problems. What if i have resources Build Action set like “AndroidAsset”, and my ManagerTransitions class has this code:

buttonMagic.TextureButton = game.Content.Load<Texture2D>("controls/button_magic_x2");

breaking my app =(
I tried so much stuff. Adding “Content/” to address, making “button_magic_x2” into .xnb file
Changing code to

game.Content.RootDirectory = "Content/" + "controls/";
buttonMagic.TextureButton = game.Content.Load<Texture2D>("button_magic_x2");

yields same result: "Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content.ContentLoadException: Could not load button_magic_x2 asset as a non-content file!:
