I've gone through the agony of installing eclipse & all associated paraphanalia :-{ & my app is running in the android simulator, but it looks frightfully ugly! The images I used successfully in the ios version of this app (as screen and button background images & header images) are not showing up. I've dragged them into eclipse > assets > BT-Images (& into BT_Docs just in case) but this did not work. Is there another step? (eg in Xcode you hit clean then it's happy... is there a similar step in eclipse?) I've tried viewing the 'How To' document created by GoNorthWest, however I keep getting a 'this file is damaged' message from Adobe & can't view it. I can view the other PDFs just fine... :( any and all suggestions will be gratefully received!! v1.5 android Title Comments I've gone through the agony of installing eclipse & all associated paraphanalia :-{ & my app is running in the android simulator, but it looks frightfully ugly!

I stupidly was not dragging the correct set of files, so the names weren't quite right (older versions)... how emabarrassing! They now work fine from the BT_Imgages folder!

MrkFleming at gmail dot com Check out the README file for your project. It tells you exactly where different file types should go (but @raveyd is correct for images).

The doc I can't open is this one - http://www.buzztouch.com/resources/Adding_Files_To_A_Project_v1.0.pdf I assume it's a problem others might have? If not, let me know & I'll email you. Tanx for that offer! Comments Hi Mark, The read me file I received only talks about how to compile the app & talks about the share on facebook & the google maps screens.

I'd try downloading it again! Mark Comments I was just able to open that doc from the site using my phone, so it appears to be OK. I'd try downloading it again! Mark
