LibGDX Texture rendering problem

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

I am having trouble rendering a simple texture to the screen using LibGDX, what am I missing here? Everywhere I look the same method is used, but every time I run, I get: Exception in thread “LWJGL Application” com.badlogic.gdx.utils.GdxRuntimeException: Couldn’t load file: data/background.png

It’s one class, so nothing fancy, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

package com.pixelPower.space;

import com.badlogic.gdx.ApplicationListener;
import com.badlogic.gdx.Gdx;
import com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.GL10;
import com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.OrthographicCamera;
import com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.Texture;
import com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.g2d.SpriteBatch;

public class Game implements ApplicationListener {
	public static int WIDTH;
	public static int HEIGHT;
	
	public static OrthographicCamera camera;
	
	private Texture texture;
	private SpriteBatch batch;
	
	public void create() {
		WIDTH = Gdx.graphics.getWidth();
		HEIGHT = Gdx.graphics.getHeight();
		
		batch = new SpriteBatch();
		texture = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("data/background.png"));
		
		camera = new OrthographicCamera(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
		camera.translate(WIDTH / 2, HEIGHT / 2);
		camera.update();
	}
	
	public void render() {
		Gdx.gl.glClearColor(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
		Gdx.gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
		
		batch.begin();
		batch.draw(texture, 0, 0);
		batch.end();
	}
	
	public void resize(int width, int height) {
		
	}
	
	public void pause() {
		
	}
	
	public void resume() {
		
	}
	
	public void dispose() {
		
	}
}
