Question about Images and Pixel displays

i know the basics of the iphone, but i hear android is more difficult im currently trying to make images that fit the screen of android phones whats the best way to find out what the sizes and pixels are for each phone? and also im using html docs so most likely im going to use images in the html, i kind of need a step by step if theres another forum that explains this or a web site? im using v1.5 and eclipse i know html docs go in BT_Docs folder but where should the images go also? any response would be much appreciated!

HTLM images can be: Embedded in the HTML, Embedded in the app BT_Docs (same file add HTML files) Linked to via a URL Read Source Code (Android) in my guide for a better understanding. Plus The Buzztouch Method covers this. www.myskylla.com Fred

Did you download the Source Code before you selected the icon. Not sure how that could happen. Fred

Then the icon will not magically appear in the source code. If you uploaded it you the server it's on the server but your downloaded source code is not. Fred

To have an up to date SC_config file you would need to copy the config data in the Control Panel and paste into the SC_config file. But remember every time you modify the app in the control panel your SC_Config file is "out of date". Fred

When you say, "posted it in the btconfig.txt." What exactly did you do? Have you looked at the config file and studied.its parts. Fred

It should work. Did you miss a curly bracket. If worst comes to worst you could re-download the source code and just replace the config file. Fred
