My game runs correctly when I test the desktop version, but when I launch an android emulator and and try to run the game on the emulator the game closes and I get the logcat errors:

I understand that the error migh be obvious that the file is not found, but it should be as it's location is fine and when i run it as a desktop app the file is fine (I copied all of my desktop assets into the android assets, they there are exactly the same). So what could the problem be?
Here is where i set the image:
Texture playButtonTxture = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("playButton2.png"));
