Image not displayed in ImageView: JavaFX - javafx

Question

Below is the code I use to view image and caption text together:
try
{
Scanner scanner = new Scanner( new File("data.txt") );
String text = scanner.useDelimiter("ENDOFFILE").next();
scanner.close(); // Put this call in a finally block
System.out.println(text);
String[] data = text.split("\n");
for(int i=0;i<data.length;i++)
{
if(i%2==0)
{
System.out.println("This is "+data[i]);
Image img = new Image(new File(data[i]).toURI().toString(), 100, 0, false, false);
ImageView selectedImage = new ImageView();
selectedImage.setImage(img);
v.getChildren().addAll(selectedImage);
}
else
{
Text t = new Text(data[i]);
t.setFont(Font.font("Tahoma", FontWeight.NORMAL, 14));
v.getChildren().add(t);
}
}
}
catch(Exception E)
{
E.printStackTrace();
}
root2.getChildren().add(v);
Scene scene = new Scene(root2, 1000, 1000);
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
}
data[i] for the image is Udiagram.jpg which is present within the same directory as the program. No exceptions occur but the image is not displayed, it shows empty with only text shown as follows: Text goes here.
The file data.txt is as follows:
UDiagram.jpg
Hit and Run
ENDOFFILE
What could be the reason for not displaying the image but only the text?

I believe you just need to concatenate the file and folder name to the beginning of your String.
Image image = new Image("file:FOLDER_NAME/imageName.gif");
ImageView imageView = new ImageView();
imageView.setImage(image);
imageView.setFitWidth(100);
imageView.setPreserveRatio(true);
imageView.setSmooth(true);
