emulator doesn't show pictures in menu button screen

hi there, just started using buzztouch again after more than a year, a lot changed!! i am trying to use a menu button for my home screen, i managed to make the tabbed layout images to show, as well as the background image, but i can't make the buttons to show the pictures, they all show in grey instead. they have been copied to the "res>drawable" folder on eclipse, i have set the size to 128 just as the real size of those icon pictures, can't figure whats wrong, here is a screenshot: http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/5320/screen1zxc.png Thanks for your time! David

Nice Snake :) There could be a few reasons why they're not showing up. My first suggestion would be to run through a few of GoNorthWest's tutorials for eclipse and android. He may point out a detail that's missing. https://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/Adding_Files_To_A_Project_v1.0.pdf https://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/Common_Android_Errors_and_Solutions_v1.0.pdf https://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/buzztouch_For_Android-A_Users_Guide.pdf Hope one of these can point to your issue. Come back if not! Cheers! -- Smug

Thanks a lot for the help, i managed to find my mistake, i filled both the image and the image url links on bt and this is what caused the problem. now i have two more problems: 1) how do i make those icon bigger (menu buttons) and how can i align them in the middle? 2)i added 4 tabbed layout buttons on the bottom but for some reason i see only three, the last one don't show, i tried several emulators and got the same result. Cheers

Having not worked with the Icon Button Menu, I can't say for sure about parameters and tricks and stuff. One thing either Stobe or GoNorthwest taught me about searching through the forums. use google in this fashion: bring up a google search page and put this in the search field: (without quotes) 'site:buzztouch.com/forum <enter search terms here>' so try 'site:buzztouch.com/forum menu button image size' and see what that might bring... Good luck! Cheers! -- Smug
