Sorry, it's iOS only at the moment. (Careful with those cap's by the way! Makes it look like you're yelling)

Here's what the release notes say: Android Project ------------------------ ***Limited Android support, shows as basic list menu*** Two files required Circleview_list_menu.java screen_circleview_list_menu So, it'll "work" on Android, but it will only be a standard list menu, and not like you see it on iOS.

Makes sense, so this allows the user to use it in an app that's being used as both android and apple, so at least it will be dual accessible. Smart idea! Cheers, David.

@david dual accessible plugins are really a nice relief!! @chris all caps isnt a nice sight..i know @gonorthwest a few hours back ,in the plug in descrption it was written ios only (but had android logo)now when i looked at it again "limited android support"was added.but i couldnt locate the release notes posted by you. infact in release notes i found this: Android Project ------------------------ ***Currently does not support Android*** i will install that plug in now and hope that "limited support" is enough thanks as always akshay

They literally are updating it now it seems, no worries. Limited is better than nothing in my book! Cheers, David

Let me explain a bit about the Circle Menu plugin. There is a problem with how it displays in the store right now--there is an updated readme and screenshot that shows this better and we will have it in the store soon. What @CrownSolutions has done is made it function on Android. The circle isn't there, but the icons and the rows will display. In a perfect world, the plugin would look just as magical on Android as it does on iOS. But in the meantime, those of us who only use plugins that work on both iOS and Android can have a really cool option for iOS, and something that works on Android. For apps that are made for businesses, it is very important to have one BT project control both the iOS and Android apps so there isn't dual maintenance for iOS and Android. Up until now, the menu choices for users that wanted to have plugins that worked for both iOS and Android was limited to the Button Menu, Simple Menu, and Menu with Image. Now we have a fourth option: The Circle Menu. (There is a fifth option coming out soon by @chris1.) I should add this is a bit of an experiment--my thought is that it is more important to have the plugins available for both iOS and Android, even though the Android has less functionality. Let me know your thoughts on this. If you all like this idea, we can perhaps look at this type of solution on the other menu plugins.

hey susan thanks for the reply every BT er would love to have a dual accessible plugin even it has less functionality on some platform. Like it would be awesome if cp streamer(only android plugin)and audio streamer plugin by PSM Danny (only ios plug in )be avilable in package of only 1 plug in(no worries if cost goes up)then it will really save a big time,effort and pain and everything.i am saying this because i will have a track collection app of thousand tracks. such should work in cases of other similar plug in too! 1 question:is the developer working to make circle view in android to work like ios?

That isn't likely in the sort run. Some of the coolest BT plugins are built on IOS or Android open source frameworks that are made for one or the other but not both. But time is our friend here. We will have some extremely cool things on both in the future.

Thanks Susan, Yes, I wanted people to be able to use one control panel for both iOS & Android. It is the simple menu for Android. Like others have stated, I felt some functionality is better then none. I hope at some point to bring the full functionality to Android, but the way the tables are viewed in Android makes it difficult to achieve. Jim
