1.5 Android issue or is it me?

Hi, I am trying to develope 1.5 Android app. My issue is that most of the changes I make to my app in control panel dont take effect in my simulator. Example: I add more screens and change background color to white and it works, no problem. But when I am adding png pictures or mp3 sounds, or even splash screen or choose the way I want pages to fade, none of it changes in simulation. What is the issue, any ideas? Thank you.

Those need to be recompiled. Photos, mp3's, video, etc. Make sure they are in the proper folders in your project and re-run the simulator.

Hi, As we have said in numerous posts, simulators are Often source of errors. I believe that the Android one is quite defectuous. Best try it directly on your device no?

Thank you both for your input. I can see images in the BT_Images folder which means thats not an issue. As far as saving and rerunning it, I have done that numerous times, and only cirtain changes I make take effect, but not all (what I mentioned in the 1st post). Skyr0s, I hear you about the bugged Android compiler, how-ever I have an iphone and making this app for someone else (see my problem). Eather way thank you for advice.

Even if I am making a mistake somewhere with png or mp3 files, why wouldnt any of the transition types change?

So you wish to develop BTv1.5 Android app and you're using the Splash Screen. Obviously you haven't read my published, MySkylla's Guide to Buzztouch, so you don't know about the problems your facing. www.myskylla.wordpress.com Fred

Thanks for the link Fred, I just finished reading it. Its a very helpfull guide, how-ever I am still not 100% on why I am having these issues. Is it because the 1.5 stage one is not supporting it yet? Also, on your site, few links didnt work, so I am not sure if I missed something. What additions to the Manifest were you talking about, was it just the preferExternal or was there more? A Big thank you for your time.

These issues, be more specific. BTv1.5 Android is unfinished. Read the Android Process. Fred
