Tab Bar Icon on Android

I can't get a custom tab bar icon to display on my android device. The other icons that are from buzztouch display. The icon does display on the iPhone. So far I tried changing the name of the icon to take the word "icon" out of the name....that didn't work. I also tried cleaning the app and that didn't work either. Any ideas?

Where did you place the image? My navigation article might help. Go to Source Code in the Buzztouch iOS & Android section www.MySkylla.com Fred

I have it in assets->BT_Images. The file name is raspberry.png...all lower case. I looked around your guide and didn't see anything. It is strange, because the other tab bar images display, but not my custom one. Thanks, Fred! I will keep studying it.

Actually in BTv1.5 (Android) a "-" and uppercase letters are OK because the BT_images folder is in the assets folder. I would discourage use of such because eventually you'll use the image in BTv2.0 and then you'll have problems. I don't know if that's true with iOS or not. I wonder if the image size is the issue.

With BT 2.0 you have a problem with "-" in name of pictures but BT 1.5 it works with "-"

?????!!#...well...that worked but why am I uploading icons in the dashboard that are not being put in the proper folder when I compile and download the application for Android?? Is there anything else I will need to do manually? Thanks for the tip. Anthony
