Stobe is correct, drag your images into BT_Images for ups an res/drawable for android and do a clean build. 99% of time that'll be it.

Now's a good time to learn about the Config file. Take a look at your Config data in the Control Panel then look at the BT_config.txt file. If you don't do this now, you'll fail to understand why clean build works and you'll fail to understand why it doesn't work when you export the app and install it on a device. Fred

You're Android BTv2.0, therefore you'll use res > drawable

I am having a similar problem. I wish I could help you but am stuck. Is there a size requirement for the images?

In my article, A study of buttons, I use images with pixel size of 16 to 128. I've created buttons that fill the entire screen. Fred http://myskylla.wordpress.com/2012/01/29/icon-sizes-buzztouch/ For additional info go to Buzztouch Screens www.MySkylla.com

i followed these steps: 1. Added the images to the certain area in the online buzztouch client. 2. Downloaded the package for android (my app download folder) 3. Opened it in eclipse 4. Added the photos to the BT_Images folder under the directory 'assists' 5. Ran the application in eclipse and it opened the android emulator 6. Went into the app and it didn't show the images on the app... what am i doing wrong? is there a step that i am missing?

Followed these steps: 1. Added the images to buzztouch using the Control Panel 2. Downloaded the package for android (my app download folder) 3. Opened it in eclipse 4. Added the photos to the BTv1.5 add images to BT_Images folder under the directory 'assets' BTv2.0 add images to drawable folder in the res directory 5. Ran the application in eclipse and it opened the android emulator 6. Smile 7. Update Config file 8. Export app 9. Install on device 10. Run app 11. Jump for joy.
