Thanks guys, I am very proud of it indeed! It was hard work and Android can be very frustrating (understatement of the century...) but with BT community's help I got there in the end :) Farcat

Actually, my client has reported that the app crashes to the point of being unusable :( I have tested it on a Google Samsung phone and it did crash occasionally (it's a V3 version) but it could still be used. Could anyone please test it for me so I can try and trouble shoot this thing? Thanks, Farcat

Great Mark, what was it? I couldn't get it to crash on my device. I hope it wasn't Flurry!

Still doing some testing, but I "think" is was just having images in res > drawable, and not the other drawable folders as well, which are tapped for different screen resolutions. I've noticed a lot of out of memory errors in this case, which causes a crash, and which go away if you copy stuff from res > drawable to the others as well. But we're still testing on his app. Mark

Hey guys! It does look like it is working now. Android works in mysterious ways... Just waiting for confirmation that all is OK on a real device running 4.3 before performing the victory dance :) Farid

I am testing the update, all good. But then it didn't crash before on my tablet. Not sure if this is relevant, but I have found Android quite unstable if I reference any images as URL's from a BT app. Never had to put images anywhere other than res/drawable before though, is this a peculiarity of later Android?

The new update works for me on my 4.4.2 tablet. The other res > drawable folders have been around for a while. They correspond to the various screen dimensions that you can support. I've found that lots of crashes seem to happen if the app can only draw from the res > drawable folder...it must do something to the image to resize them for the various screens. I have no technical explanation for it yet.
