Why the hell fix what isn't broken? It almost always breaks what was perfectly fine.

Funny that all this code worked fine on my tablet and Eclipse, however Android Studio is being a broken POS, and this is the 'preferred' IDE for development? I had less problems with Eclipse and AIDE (for mobile) except that AIDE pushes libGDX for game development but doesn't fully support the Gradle build that libGDX pushes for uses to utilize rather than downloading the simple to use zip folder with the libs in it. And I am using the default skin that I pulled off GitHub. However I still get the file not found error. Desktop launcher config is using that folder for the working path as is the ONLY thing I've found online to look at for Android Studio and this particular issue. The JSON, Atlas, and PNG files are all in android/assets/data folder. Regardless, when I run the desktop launcher the first file it attempts to load causes a file not found crash: skin = new Skin(('/data/defaultSkin.json')) It's broken horribly as necessary folders were not created as they used to be, or were not properly imported by Android Studio. I also think it's strange it unzips into 'tools' instead of 'android/tools' considering running sdkmanager downloads stuff into the parent directory of 'tools'.

Finally at the point to test and run, but first I hate the setup UI for libGDX. I think the Android Studio docs maintainers assume everyone is installing the whole IDE instead of the CLI because it doesn't explain this stuff on its download page. I used the libGDX setup UI to create a new project, copied sources from my tablet project and fixed all the errors due to libGDX version changes. Github helpfully provides a guide for adding an existing code base into a repository which already exists, here.
