Linked images not working in 1.5 android?

Hi - just trying port my ios app onto android. When creating the iOS app, I opted to use a URL to images that are hosting on googles free image host. When I am testing on Android, it doesn't look like my custom background images and buttons are displaying. Does this sound correct to people? If so - what is the best way for me to change that without royally screwing up my app because iOS is live at the moment and the images are not a direct path and altering this will probably be bad for me. Help appreciated! I am in love with buzztouch!

Hey plknudson, Did you have the chance to review the README.txt file that came with your Android project download? If not please take the time to do so. It explains why some features are currently disabled for v1.5 Android. It also gives information for you to see specifically which screens are not currently available, as well as options if you wish to create them yourself. You didn't mention what screen types were giving you issues, so it's possible that you may be using a screen that isn't available currently. I do know that both image galleries and button menus are currently not enabled on v1.5 for Android. We do plan on releasing new features as fast as we can until v1.5 is as identical as possible on iOS and Android. We just want to do it the right way and make sure that we can handle any bugs that arise during the process.

I did read the README.txt, it was pretty helpful. However, my app is entirely list menus and custom text screens. Though it seems that I still have a problem - for example my main menu is a list menu screen which seems currently available. the rows are available, but there is no background image and the list is centered at the top and no padding from the top. Do you have any diagnosis? I can provide screenshots

Images, not sure what's happening here. Background images on ALL the screens should work. This is because all the screens are derived from BT_act_root and it loads the background layouts. So, image, not sure where to advise other than looking at the console. What does the console report? Lists should work. The background image is same comment I just made - should work. The 'centered' at the top and no padding confuses me a bit. Does your list use a Header Image? Header images on lists are different than background images on screens. Posting some screen shots on line would be great.
