Images not showing up

Ok so i made some minor changes and now i cant get my images to show up.. I am using menu with images and all i did was change the images on both menus.. however now the images wont show up in emulator and my splash page is gone. the splash was from a URL and worked fine.. Went through the setting not sure where to go now.. Yes i do import to the drawing folder.. Thoughts?

Have you updated your config file? If you are pointing to new files a wee update might do the trick. Did it prompt for a refresh?

Is the url down? Have you hit it with a browser?

URL is working .. The splash page comes up but not logo..it's directed to the URL.. I even tried to put the old graphics in the headers .. No luck .. With both issues it's not display any graphic at all I reloaded the emulator.. Doesn't make sense

Doesn't make sense, but does. Eclipse is mental with images. What URL you using for splash screen? Can you embed in the app? Cleaned the project etc? Sounds like you have indeed made a few changes, no orphaned references to old splash and images? Update config clean and so on.

So the splash screen is a URl and should contain the logo as default? I hate that to be honest. Splash loads first and I always like to include in app, network connection issues and so on. Need to run... send me - or post - the apk and see if behaviour is the same for me/us?

If the app is not that far in that may make sense, not good if you are 3/4 down the road. If only a few screens start afresh..... Something silly may have gone wrong.

OK, wouldn't start again then. Trace back the changes you made. Take a short walk... So. 1. You changed the images in header images, naming convention OK? 2. Splash screen stopped working without making any changes to it? 3. Splash displays from a URL (have never done this) and shows HTML but not image? Correct?

I hate to say this but I have had the same problem with Eclipse, shows menu image headers then doesn't. Delete app, clean and so on and there it is. Has caused me so many headaches....

Hey @jvalley, I am seeing this issue more and more lately with Eclipse, so your not alone! I have to uninstall from the emulator almost every time which is very frustrating. It's almost like a routine anymore! Great advice @MacApple! LA
