Use BTA_DesignMenu for iPhone, alternative for Android

I am using BTA_DesignMenu for my iPhone app and it works great. I wish it was available for Android, but it's not. That's fine, but the point is, can I use an alternative for the android deployment? So could I just use the standard menu that DOES work with android for android, but still use the DesignMenu for iPhone without creating another app on buzztouch? Thanks in advance.

The big issue would be the BT_Config.txt file, which is the same for both platforms. Chris1 created the 'Advanced Menu with Image' plugin that will allow you to designate 'which' platform (one, the other, or both) the menu choice will apply to specifically for this dilemma. This is a benchmark for other menu plugins to strive for, but it's a recent concept that hasn't made it completely around yet, and as far as I know is the only menu with this capability. It would be my suggestion to use that plugin, otherwise, the 'best' results are still going to be with separate projects for each platform. Cheers! -- Smug

Thanks for the advice smug! I didn't know there was that plugin. Sad to hear there isn't a better way around it but I'm sure he is working on support for the BTA_DesignMenu and I'll definitely look into the Menu w/ Image plugin in the meantime. Max
