Hey Why does my Android App in Eclipse Emulator, look nothing like the iOS App in xCode Emulator? Am i doing something wrong? If so, can someone help me?

You're doing nothing wrong. The fact of the matter is that there are appearance differences between the two. If you use stuff like the 'Stripped' background on iOS, they won't load on Android. Remember that Android phones have different screen dimensions so things are different. What I've started doing is building two control panel apps, so each app can look as good as possible, without one interfering with both platforms.

I have been using hex codes for background colours etc, but my iOS app looks how i want it, but android is completely different

Hi@toqi786, Are you refreshing the Android emulator to see the changes? I can see the apps looking different because of screen sizes and whatnot but background colors should update the same. What screen type is not looking like you want? Simple Menu? keep us posted ian

I have just refreshed it, and from what i am seeing is, on the main home screen menu, i have used an image from url but it does not load from the url. the other problem has been fixed.

Check out the LogCat output to see what the issue is. If your image name doesn't follow the 0_9a_z naming convention, meaning no spaces, dashes, capitals or special characters, it won't load. LogCat will tell you if this is the problem. Mark

Ive moved back to normal hex code, i will continue experimenting with the background image from url
