I has a menu with image screen and I told BT to put in row icons. Whenever I ran the app on my physical devices as I tested it, the icons didn't show up so I figured OK I can live without them. I then had my wife buy the app on her Nexus 7 pad and when she opened it up, BINGO the icons are there. For the fun of it, I deleted the bought app from her pad, hooked up the pad to my computer and ran the app with the Nexus as a test device and the app no longer has the icons! Does anyone have an idea why this could possibly be the case? Thanks. Steve Title Comments I have an app on the Android store. I has a menu with image screen and I told BT to put in row icons.

Do you have multiple copies? multiple directories?

So my wife had to make the sacrifice for me to make sure it looked good on a tablet. Steve Comments LA, Actually, Android doesn't allow you to buy your own app!
