I promised an Android version of the app to a client, so I had to try and proceed with it. Ended up giving it to them for 1/2 price because it looked pretty bad. Buggy- well, I needed the help of Strobe to stop errors from appearing so that I could even compile the plugin. I think there were 500+ errors, and I couldn't figure them out with my basic knowledge of Android coding. After Strobe helped me get it compiling, I had the issue that the header images would be displayed on the simulator, but not on my device. The tutorial I wrote up basically just changes the code so that all devices are counted as having "small" screens, as for some reason Android considers a screen with 4.0"+ "large". I note the tutorial didn't cover how to stop the compilation errors- you'd have to try and work that out yourself. Only covers the basic changes to get the header images to display on ALL devices. The tutorial is on BTM, and if you do a forum search it should be here somewhere too. But like I said, I honestly wouldn't bother trying to get it to work. Looked horrid even after I got it compiling. Comments Fred, I wouldn't even bother with it, to be honest. I promised an Android version of the app to a client, so I had to try and proceed with it.
