Is this still possible?

Hi I recently watched the video below and the guy adds an image underneath his menu, and then moves it above the menu. I have tried this multiple times and can't even get an image to appear with the menu... Can this still be done? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkL0Q5WsQ6Q Thanks

Hi Thanks for your reply. I have just tried again and the image is in the background (behind the menu).. However, no matter what number I enter into the List Header Height box, the menu does not move. I have changed the List Style to Rounded Corners with Side Margins as he says.. but still nothing. Do you have any idea what could be the problem? Thanks

Hi Menu Simple, this is what the guy uses in his video as far as I'm aware. Building for Android, although he is building for IOS, could this be the problem? Thanks

rounded corners is an iOS-only feature.

You could always edit the XML file to achieve your desired results though.

Buzztouch and eclipse are new to me, but I'm learning bits here an there. If you could point me in the right direction regarding editing the XML file, I would really appreciate it. Thanks

In Eclipse if you select the XML file for the plugin, you can drag new elements onto it and then set their properties. For instance, you could add a textview above the table, delete the default text, and make it whatever height you need. It will push the table down by that amount.

btw, I find the new Android Studio to be much easier to work with.

I think maybe the easiest option for you would be to look at different plugins. Menu with image would be a good one to look at. This creates a header images above the menu, so no moving around with the menus are needed.
