Loading an image on a unity UI Image

Unity Engine
1

Hi guys,
I am new to unity.
I was trying to load an image on disk to a Unity UI Image via c# script.
I have my resource Desert.jpg in my Resources folder.

Sprite mySprite = Resources.Load(“Desert”) as Sprite;
if (mySprite == null) {
Debug.Log (“Null”);
} else {
Debug.Log (“loaded”);
}
//backGroundImage.GetComponent().sprite = mySprite;

and this is what i was trying.
the log always prints Null

Use code tags next time, but for now try this:

Sprite mySprite = Resources.Load<Sprite>("Desert");

Also make sure you have a folder in your project called Resources and put your Desert sprite in there.
