Hi guys, Still working with the new android core, so far, I'm seriously impressed! David did an awesome freaking job with the new core. I do have a few questions as a stumble along this path! 1. Love the new tabbed bars at the top. Is there any way to change the blue line selection under the selected tab to another color? 2. When adding a "information" button icon to the top right of my navigation bar, it unessesarily creates a entire bar at the bottom of the app (where the tabbed buttons used to go). It's taking up enormous space for a tiny icon that should be at the top right of my navigation bar - any ideas on why this is happening? 3. My app seems to crash a lot, it works when I relaunch it, play around, but it crashes at random times (it's not the plugins or certain screens, it occurs randomly). Any ideas why? Might need to debug further, but wanted to know if anyone else is having this issue. 4. So I selected "all" for all categories under plugins before downloading the package, but it looks like the iOS only plugins were still NOT included (which is awesome) but it worries me - why did the ios plugins I selected for packaging not show up in eclipse? Cheers all! David https://www.buzztouchmods.com/market

Hey David, Glad you're enjoying the new code! I still need to spend some time with it, but from what I've seen, it's quite impressive (and much more visually appealing). For #3, try adding all the images you have in res > drawable to all the other drawable folders. Susan and I just helped debug another app, and it appears that if Android can't find the image it needs in the preferred folder, it grabs it from res > drawable and upsizes it. Do that enough time, and you hit an out of memory condition, and the app crashes. Without any LogCat output, it's impossible to tell what your particular crash is related to, but this is probably a good best practice going forward. Mark

Hi Mark, I'll check that out! If I can't figure it out I'll throw a logcat out here. Can't wait to meetup with you this week. Added a #4 to the list of questions :-) David https://www.buzztouchmods.com/market

For #4, that's kinda interesting. I just tested it myself, and selected every plugin I own. I only got the ones that were for Android only, or for both. I didn't get any of the iOS only ones, even if there were checked. I'm not sure if this is working as designed, but either way, I think it's great! One thing to keep in mind is that a few plugins are only supported for iOS, but will include Android files in the download for future dev work. But they won't work. Mark

Hi Mark, Yup got it, so it does the same for you. I love it, no errors in the project and nothing to delete, I was just worried that it was not working as designed, even though the outcome was awesome! David https://www.buzztouchmods.com/market

#3 fixed it perfectly, I've been trying to make it crash for about 5 minutes now without any luck. The only concern is that I have a ton of images, and this just upped my package size by about five times. If I had used large images this would have been a problem I think. Thanks Mark! You are a lifesaver. David https://www.buzztouchmods.com/market

Mark, I noticed I replaced some Icon.png files in those drawable folders that looked like my app icon - was that bad? David https://www.buzztouchmods.com/market

Well, only if they're different images from the original icon.png file, which is your app's icon. I'd just go ahead and download the package again, and then put the original files back. I don't think you need to replace those.

Well actually, when I usually download a package with iOS, I replace the icon files it gives me with high resolution ones, since usually the downloaded ones are horrible quality. So I would need to know the sizes of the icon for each folder - would you happen to know those by hand? I could figure it out if not. David https://www.buzztouchmods.com/market

I don't know them off the top of my head. I'd look at the sizes that come with the download package, and then just repro them at the quality you need.

Yup that's what I'm doing right now - was hoping there was a list but no problem at all! So far everything's looking good, I'm already anxious to hack up this new tabbed bar! If anyone knows anything about my #1 and #2 question, let me know! David https://www.buzztouchmods.com/market

Mark, Susan mentioned that image distribution fix anecdotally while working on a problem of mine, so I suggested it to someone in another thread and he said it fixed an intermittent problem he's been having for four months. I think this might need to go in the Android instructions as a preventative maintenance step. Maybe we can figure out which folders should get the files, maybe it doesn't really need to be all of them? What do you think? Tim

Hi Tim, We should absolutely document it as part of the Android instructions. I'll get with Susan and David, and we'll figure out the appropriate steps. It would for sure save tons of debug time! Mark

So I was uploading my APK when I noticed it was taking forever. From my normal 3MB app, it was a 25MB app I was uploading. Jesus! David https://www.buzztouchmods.com/market

So I sent you a log in your private messages Mark, let me know if you see something, was working on a theory but it might not have panned out. David https://www.buzztouchmods.com/market
