Objects not shown in canvas

I added sprite objects into the canvas but when I run it, the object doesn't appear.
What should I do to make it appear?

 

Are you sure that there are no scripts that disables or makes the sprites invisible?

 

If it's a Sprite, then make sure that the Camera is set on Orthgraphic. Also that the Sprite is in the camera's FOV.
If it's a texture on a Quad/Plane, make sure it is not rotated around Y axis. Quads and Planes are only visible on one side.

It's hard to guess without a proper idea of what you did. How about sharing a screenshot?

 

Also check the render mode on the canvas, whether it's world space or screen space.

 

Nevermind, I figured it out. Turns out I should use image instead of sprite renderer.
Thanks all!

 

Sprites will still appear. The positioning just gets really weird. I don't recommend it. As you have discovered image is a better way to go.

 

I just realized, does the OnMouseDown() function not working for images? Because I can't get it to work.

 

Add a button component instead of an image.

Or if you need more control use an image and and EventTrigger.

For ultimate control implement the interfaces from the EventsSystem namespace on your own script.

 

Yeah, using the button did the trick. thank you!
