texture based on file:// url won't load

[earonesty]

followed this documentation:

https://github.com/expo/expo-three#loading-assets

texture based on remote image won't load:

• used expo-asset to create and download asset
• asset.localUri is downloaded, returns a "file://" url
• TextureLoader().load(asset.localUri) throws an error:

Call to function 'ExponentFileSystem.downloadAsync' has been rejected.
→ Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Expected URL scheme 'http' or 'https' but was 'file'

i believe this has already been fixed in dependent libs, so you just have to update deps

Try passing textureLoader.load the asset instead of asset.localUri

I had this problem today with the latest expo-asset.

Try this:

class LocalIconMesh extends Mesh {
  constructor() {
    super();
    this.geometry = new BoxGeometry(1, 1, 1);
    const loader = new TextureLoader();
    Asset.loadAsync(require('../assets/icon.png')).then(([{ localUri }]) => {
      try {
        loader.load(localUri, (texture) => {
          this.material = new MeshBasicMaterial({ map: texture });
        });
      } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
      }
    });
  }
}

@markrickert Thanks for your work. BTW, I think your code is for loading texture from its own package. How can I load a texture from FileSystem? (ex: pick an image from gallery)

Hi @orange4glace, sorry for the late reply. I just added an example in my updated fork. Everything is up to date in my implementation with three 0.166.0 and expo sdk 51.

I added a demo of how to use local file paths via an image picker to the "bouncing balls" demo of my fork. You can check it out here: e9f0a1d
