After you put the image in there did you make sure you filled out the height and width? Try 350 x 150 (it may be the other way around, sleepy :-/ ) If not then try that and see if it shows. Without the size info it will not show up, I ran into that problem. Hope that helps!

Im having trouble filling the header image with the correct size in Android - I dont want to muck around with the size in the iOS version as it works fine but in the Android version it looks to narrow and the round corners are not filling either. I guess David is able to get back onto this now the BT Server is on its way. If anyone has found a work round would love to hear from you. Also the menu list is showing up black on one of my contact menues - the title is there when you click on a line but not before hand?

Yeah, I used photobucket and the program on my ipad to resize the picture until I had one that fit both. If we could set the size for each iOs/Android that would be great, but I'm sure they know that and have tried. So until then you gotta work at it. I'm also curious to know what is considered a big device? Starting at 4.3? Because sometimes on an evo or droidx the images don't show up until I add one for large devices. Trial & error/beer lol

well, I think so, because i made an app for android in 1.4 and on my Motorola Milestone, which screen i doubt is bigger than 3' the image fitted perfectly, but on my HTC Sensation 4G which has a 4.3' it didnt.. also the logo looked all blurry.. thing that doesnt happens on 1.5's logo :) great work by David!, btw, do u have any info when the phase 2 of the 1.5 will be released?? I hope before Christmas!

@MilanDivoloe: 'Nobody explains, nobody helps, no answers NOTHING, we CANT progress like this guys!!!!!' We've spent years doing all we can to help thousands of folks get through all sorts of development issues. If you're unable to take advantage of the resources we provide we understand but please don't post your 'doubts' about our products / services after not getting a reply after :30 minutes. It's also ironic that you avatar is 'keep calm' while you beg for help in desperation. It's all good my friend but does take time sometimes. So...for sure Android and iOS work different when it comes to image resolution. There's a lot to understand here. And, it gets especially complicated when you're using an unfinshed and very much beta release with v1.5 for Android. You'll need to experiement with different image sizes to see what works best in your situation. Large vs Small devices: Cant' remember the exact size cut-off but have a look at the device.java class file in the Android project and you'll see where it inspects the devices size then sets a flag as 'large' or 'small' based on the screen dimensions.
