There is a problem of adding images for Dropdown items. When specifying images for Options in the Inspector, there is no effect. Trying to add Options in the code:

public class FillDroPDown : MonoBehavior { public Dropdown dd; void Start () { dd.options.Clear(); dd.AddOptions(new List<Dropdown.OptionData> { new Dropdown.OptionData { text="1", image=Resources.Load("LeftToRight.png", typeof(Sprite)) as Sprite } }); } void Update () { } }

Text data is displayed successfully, but images are not. Please help with solving this problem. Unity version 5.3.4f1.

    It is necessary that the resources (in this case, the sprite) were in the Resources folder. I myself suffered with this because anywhere it did not find for very long. If you have it in the child category of the Resources folder (for example, Resources / Sprites), you must write

     image=Resources.Load("Sprites/LeftToRight.png", typeof(Sprite)) as Sprite

    In general, I advise you to manually create a dropdown, change everything you need and continue to generate it from the prefab. Instead of writing a script for this. Or at a minimum, adjust the look of the dropdown itself from the prefab, and the text is already set by the script.
