# Class Resources

java.lang.Object
com.codename1.ui.util.Resources

Direct Known Subclasses:
  `MutableResource`

public class Resources extends Object
Loads resources from the binary resource file generated by the Codename One Designer. A resource is loaded entirely into memory since random file access is not supported in all platforms. Any other approach would be inefficient. This means that memory must be made available to accommodate the resource file.
