Ah, then you must be building an Android App. The question mark is an info button - tapping it leads to the info. screen for your app. It's an image that is included in the header build for the screen. I can't remember off the top of my head what the image is named... but... look in the images directory and the xml layout directory for the reference... you can chagne the image or remove it. If you remove it, you won't have a link to your info screen

Have a look at the layout.xml files. The ones that use the title bar (with the question mark) will have <include layout=@layout/global_title_dark /> In the layout file. This is an include directive...'include this layout in this other layout' So, to remove the quesiton mark on SOME screens and not others, you'll need to create a new layout file for the title without the ? image. Just copy the existing global_title_dark.xml file and re-name it as something else. Then, remove the image from this new one, then, include it in whatever layouts you want instead of the one with the ? image. Sounds like I'm talking in circles.

Ok, I did this. I opened the dark.XML file and just deleted the image. (after I renamed file). Set home file to this new one copy od dark.XML. However, install on phone without issue but when you run app immediate force close. What I do wrong? Rookie here...sorry

Broke the code somewhere. Try using a transparent .png instead. That's what I do as it retains the structure and avoids un-necessary tinkering with the code.

Help! Please. My app went live today, and all of my images are showing a question mark. I do not know how it got accepted, but all of my images were NOT transferred into Xcode before I submitted (big oops). I am trying the buzz touch public folder, copying the link, pasting it, but I am still showing a question mark. :/ Please, please, please help me. I copied and pasted the link on another tab online, and it shows just fine.
