How do I use file FROM the phone

[Turtlemod]

I'm trying to make something to find an image on the phone (eg. Test.jpg) and as far as the reference goes I can use the file path, but either I don't know the path or doing somthing wrong

This is my code so far

PImage webImg;

void setup() {
size(400,400);
String url = "/Testfolder/Test.jpg";

webImg = loadImage(url);
}

void draw() {
background(0);

image(webImg, 0, 0);

}

Are you on Android? If so: /storage/emulated/0/testfolder/ would be your path

[Turtlemod]

PImage webImg;

void setup() {
size(400,400);
String url = "/storage/emulated/0/testfolder/test.jpg";
// Load image from a web server
webImg = loadImage(url);
}

void draw() {
background(0);
image(webImg, 0, 0);
}

I tried it and it still crashed the sketch and I am on Android

It says all of this

The images have to be placed inside Sketchbook -> Projectfolder -> data. So you should use: loadImage("test.jpg").
Under Settings -> General you can choose the sketchbook location:

But I want to use photos from anywhere on the phone by just renaming or moving it to a not data folder

Hey @Turtlemod , in plain processing you would do it like this for the '"just outside" folder named '0texts'

"../0texts/m3.txt"

I mean you aren't putting stuff inside 'data' but on a folder called '0texts' that is one level up the folder of your sketch, so you have, '0texts' with your sketch folder besides on the same level.
I think you can use '../../ **' to go up more levels, but I'm not that much unoccupied to test that for you, sorry... good luck

@Leamucho
By same level you mean like this

And just to clarify I want to use the "testfolder" to hold images and then this uses it
