Android v1.5 Images / Assets / Resources - whatever!

Great amount of feedback today. Still only worrying about things related to the project design, downoad, compile, etc. More than anything we heard lots about images and assets and what a giant pain this whole Eclipse Resources / Drawable structure is. We agree. Images: It's looking like phase 2 will use a BT_Images folder in the /assets directory. This means you'll be able to name them whatever you want - IT's SO BOGUS how Eclipse does the Resources management thing. Anyway, lots of feedback today about this and we've already begun working out the BT_fileManager class to fetch from the /assets/BT_Images folder instead of the Resources folder. It was our understanding that Android was 'faster' and 'performed better' when loading resources (graphics) from the Resources folder compared to the /assets folder. WRONG. We did some serious testing all day today after hearing about how tough it seemed like it was going to be to get the support for both operating systems so we re-visited it. If anything it's faster to load them from assets / sigh, giant waste of time. Another good reason to need beta folks ;-) So, expect this newly updated project, that utilizes an images folder you can actually use ;-)
