How do I link assets from android to desktop in libgdx?

Question

Whenever I try to run the desktop version of my LibGDX project it says "badlogic.jpg not found". How can I link the assets folder from android to desktop?

I found this post but I can't find out how to do it for android studio. I tried just copying the assets folder but that doesn't work.

Ok thanks that worked. I forgot android studio was basically just intellij. — Vincent Williams, Feb 11 '15 at 14:48

Click Run -> Edit configurations..., then change the "Working directory" parameter. Click "Apply" and run again.

Set working directory to path/android/assets when running the desktop launcher

Specifically, /mobile/src/main/assets (for my somewhat older project.) – c.fogelklou Jun 26 '15 at 04:47
The problem with this is then when I use `Gdx.files.local` it will use the same directory and screw things up. – Brandon Dyer Feb 22 '16 at 19:36
