Backgrounds and splash screens in v1.5

My backgrounds and splash screens won't work in version 1.5? I have the jpg files in the BT_images folder?

Android ? Just noticed your Android Fan. If you read my Buzztouch Screens article you'll understand why it won't work. www.MySkylla.com Fred

What Fred said, but also you should watch "thenewboston" on youtube for android, he explains how to make a splash screen from scratch

I have fixed the problem, its just the case that ALL images have to be in png format not jpg format. I just changed the extension around on the control panel and in the app.

Apparently you didn't fix the problem. From your subsequent forum post: Hello mate, Just updtd ur app n fownd foll errors. 1. Splsh scrn still not workin. Again I'll refer you to Buzztouch Screens, read about the BTv1.5 Android screen not working . Fred

Look for Buzztouch Screens in the documentation section. www.MySkylla.com The BTv1.5 (Android) screen sorta works. Everyone has reported that it will cause the app to crash. If it doesn't crash for you great, but when you get crash reports from the market you'll understand. Please advise if it continues to work, many would like to use the screen but not with crashes.

I want to use a splash screen and a menu buttons screen but am not sure what size the graphics should be. I know I need to have different sizes for different devices but is there a recommended pixel size? Thanks, Pete.

I found this about screen sizes on one of the developer sites - xlarge screens are at least 960dp x 720dp - large screens are at least 640dp x 480dp - normal screens are at least 470dp x 320dp - small screens are at least 426dp x 320dp

Good info, but take in mind that Buzztouch only uses two sizes. If you wish to use more sizes you need to modify the source code. Easily done. Fred
