At First... Fantastic Work and Thanks for that Update.... After some Hours of Experimenting with the New Android Core i have found some Errors and i hope somebody can Help me to Solve them.... 1) The PlugIn „HTML Doc“ displays not the HTML File. There Comes a Button with the Question with witch APP i Like to Open the File? Before (With 2.1.8) the File was automatic Loaded in the Screen. 2) Problem with Menü PlugIns ... App Starts, Menü is Displaying..... Touch an Button, Screen is Loading.... Go Back with the Back Button of Your Mobile Device (Yes, Some Android have them ;-) ) and You See that the Menü is Copping his self and Stop Working.... (Testet with one of my One Apps and also with the „Autonomic Dysreflexia“ from LA... Same Symptom. 3) Where can i Disable the Top Navbar for the whole APP? APP Starts... First Screen is an Welcome Screen (CustomHTML/Text) with tabbed Layout. I Have Disabled in Theme > Navigation Bar / Status Bar > Status Bar Style „Hide the Status Bar“ but it Shows it ;-( Maybe there must be an extra Point in the PlugIn insert (Top Navigation Bar) with „Hide the Status Bar“ ? 4) Is there an Option in Plan where i can change the Colour of the Tabbed Menü Bar & The Status Bar? Or to make it „Transparent“? 5) On „Preparing to Download“ there comes after „Packing“ the Project an „Message“ that Looks like: „{"result":"valid", "projectURL":"bt_appDownload.php?appGuid=MYNUMBER&project=APPNAME-Android-BTv3.0.zip", "projectSize":"2.08 Mbs"}“ Is this a Feature? ;-)))))) 6) Does the Integration of the „Optional SDKs“ work? What does that make? Only write the Commandos in the APP? Is there a Plan to insert the SDK also? Maybe its good to Integrade also the „google-play“ SDK? 7) On the Plugin „Menu with Image“ from Susan (WB_screen_menuImage.java) there is an Error in Eclipse that says: „headerImageContainer cannot be resolved or is not field“ on line 196. I also tryed an „Clean“... no effect.... „The Menu Image Advanced“ Plugin from chris1 works fine.... AAA 8) Is there an Option to change the Splahscreen Animation? 9) Is there an Option to make scrooling in the Answers avaible in the „Interactive Quiz“ from David? And after some Playing with it the APP Crahes ;-(( 10) I Love Buzztouch... But all my APPS with the New Core have as Name „Buzztouch“. A new marketing Way? ;-))) Okay, i know that can be Changed in the /res/values/strings.xml ;-) But maybe confuses some Users.... Before it automatical made it. 11) Where can i Change the Upper left Icon in the Statusbar? Is that diffrent from /res/drawable/icon.png ? I hope it is ;-) 12) Is anybody working on an Image Galerie for Android? The BTM Galery is stop working on the new 3.0 13) The Plugin „Random Splashscreen“ from Chris1 hangs from time to time with the „Loading-Screen/PopUp“ from Android 3.0 14) On the PlugIn "Timer"... When i click on "check for Updates" in the Controll Panel there comes: "No update URL provided".... Thanks....

Massive problems indeed. Currently, nothing is working for me. I installed the package mostly without problems and it runs fine. I have all my apps right where they were before the change. That's good. The Prepare Project Download screen is not really cutting it for me. The idea that you can choose which plugins to download seems excellent at first. The number of classes and layout files for Android is smaller, the download size is smaller too and so on. However, it seems that the program is looking at which plugins are actually used in the app, so that is what is checked for download. If I don't use the Menu with Image plugin, it isn't checked automatically. Looks elegant, BUT if it is not in the app, I lose the opportunity to add that kind of menu later, working exclusively through the self hosted interface. That is why I first check all the plugins to be active and only then exclude those that I do not want. In view of that, I find that I need an option to check all of the plugins at once, not "all" within a group only. Now to the core of the matter. When I download an app for the "previous" but still very much alive version that is now called BT2.0, I get the message in the console ActivityManager: Warning: Activity not started, its current task has been brought to the front and the app either starts on the attached device but goes straight to the Google Play or halts altogether if I put Google APIs 3.0 or 11, as I have a 2.3.6 device. So this new change means that I have to buy a new phone or tablet, or root & upgrade the phone to some newer version of Android. Neither of these two options I like very much, to be honest. I thought that I would be still able to run apps on my older devices. I see, however, that LA has managed to publish an app with the new tools and that app is working on my 2.3.6 device, so I'd like to learn how he has done it. When I try to use the 3.0 version, the new version that we have waited for so long, things are not any better. I concur with the error No. 7 from the above post, it seems there is no headerImageContainer in the wb_screen_menuimage.xml, the corresponding layout file in res folder. I added the following code, just to avoid the syntax error: <ImageView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/headerImageContainer" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="150dip" android:scaleType="center" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true"> </ImageView> but it should be better, I know. With that out of the way, I started following the instructions in the PDF. There it says it needs Google Play Service lib, so I added that. After adding it, I was not able to achieve that state described in image 3 in the file instructions-v3-android.pdf. Running the app produced further errors. If the Play lib was added, the console view showed these two errors [2013-09-01 12:16:10 - Dex Loader] Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Lcom/google/android/gms/common/data/Freezable; [2013-09-01 12:16:10 - rihannalyricscomplete] Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Lcom/google/android/gms/common/data/Freezable; The bin/dexedLibs folder has then the following 5 jar files: annotations- gcm- google-play-services-lib- google-play-services- google-play-services-remove- If I remove the Google Play Services lib, the dexedLib folder is gone, and there are only two files in the lib folder gcm.jar google-play-services-remove.jar In that case I am unable to do anything as Eclipse starts looking for a device with min API level 11, which I do not have. So... I expected problems like these, but this is just too much. Suddenly everything stopped working and there are apps that I need to publish immediately. Help, please.

Same Problems here with the "Dex Loader" ... ;-/ Can be solved with deleting the google-play-services-remove but why is it in it? I have 12 Apps in the App Store and another 6 for "In the Air Distribution" for Customers Only..... They need Updates to new Content and i can make nothing because the would not working anymore.... Hope that in the next view Days there are some Updates from Buzztouch and the PlugIn Programmers to solve this Problems... ;-/

It is our first priority to get everything working. Thank you for taking the time to write all of this up! One big change is that the fragments/Action Bar in the new Android Core works on the newer devices, but not the older devices. That is why there are two versions of the Android Core available. This will be the topic of the Developer Meeting next week Wednesday at 3pm Central Time in the US. I haven't put it up on the Events and Webinars, but will soon.

Hi Susan.... No Problem... At the Moment iam Working on an DemoApp where All Android Plugins are in.... Just for me for Testing... After that i can Report again where are Problems... Iam Testing the New Core with an UP-TO-DATE Samsung Galaxy Note II and an Nexus 5....

Hey @Dusko, Try changing Api to 18 and mini version to 11 so your manifest will look like this: <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="11" android:targetSdkVersion="18" /> LA

@LA I tried that, but my 2.3.6 device is still not recognized. However, your new app works on the device, which is HTC WildFire S. On which devices do you develop? Was there anything else that you did in order to make it work on older devices?

LA, did you use the new Core for you app? How did you get it to work on the older devices? It is only designed to work on devices that are 3.0 and above.

@Dusko and Susan @buzztouch, Yes on the new Android Core! I just set my targets like I mentioned above! LA

@Dusko, I can take a look at your App, if you like? LA

@LA Did you download version 3.0 or version 2.0?

I downloaded the new core and updated my App. LA

This image http://www.bestappbuilders.com/images/old_android.png explains why I still want to develop for old android versions -- they are 35% of all downloads in my most popular app. Forgetting about versions 2.3-2.7 means getting 65 dollars instead of 100, for the same effort in app creation, preparation and marketing.

@Dusko: i agree with you.... but the new Core also means an step to the Future.... And i love to experiment with that... ;-) At the moment i only testet the 3.0 Core... but how works the old one? Are there also Errors with the PlugIns? I like the option to choose the Core in the Download ;-) We are the Community... and i see my Function here also as User that shows where are Problems are... We have the Power here from many good Programmers and when we all Work together the Problems are in the next Days or weeks are solved... So like every Update ;-)

LA, the new core doesn't work on versions older than 3.0. Maybe you added the Android support library to make it work on older devices?

Susan @buzztouch, Could of been! Sandeep helped me with admob so he could of done that when he added admob lib. LA

I'm getting the same problems with the Menu with Image plugin. I see that the name referenced from the class file is named incorrectly? I've changed it around and deleted the R.java file and renamed the layout file associated with it.. When I try to load the screen with this plugin I get this error: 09-01 17:58:50.365: E/AndroidRuntime(773): java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.ImageView cannot be cast to android.widget.LinearLayout 09-01 17:58:50.365: E/AndroidRuntime(773): at com.appandroid.WB_screen_menuImage.onCreateView(WB_screen_menuImage.java:196) 09-01 17:58:50.365: E/AndroidRuntime(773): at android.app.FragmentManagerImpl.moveToState(FragmentManager.java:730) 09-01 17:58:50.365: E/AndroidRuntime(773): at android.app.FragmentManagerImpl.moveToState(FragmentManager.java:921) 09-01 17:58:50.365: E/AndroidRuntime(773): at android.app.BackStackRecord.run(BackStackRecord.java:578) 09-01 17:58:50.365: E/AndroidRuntime(773): at android.app.FragmentManagerImpl.execPendingActions(FragmentManager.java:1221) 09-01 17:58:50.365: E/AndroidRuntime(773): at android.app.FragmentManagerImpl$1.run(FragmentManager.java:375) I will keep trying and if I find a solution (or perhaps its me :)) .. I'll post it

Two o Clock in the Morning ;-/ Next "Problem".... I tryed the "Include Optional SDK's" Downloadoption with Scringo for Android... I cant find the Scringocode in the "BT_activity_start.java" or "BT_activity_host.java"?? Because the new Core have no "BT_activity_root.java" ;-)

On the Menu with Image and the Menu Image Advanced, I think there is a problem when row icons are used on a url. We saw this in testing, and I thought we had fixed it. Anyway, @mysps, are you using Row Icons? David has a fix for this, and so it may be just a matter of getting the code put into the download.

Hi Susan, yep I'm using row icons on this app. If you can paste the fix here I can try it and report back. One thing my icons are hosted inside of the app and not via url Thanks!

Here is some replacement code for the Menu with Image. This starts around line 650, where it says "//setup icon view and ends right before "//setup indicator view. Let me know how it goes. Thanks! //setup icon view... Drawable icon = null; boolean getRemoteImage = false; //iconName or iconURL? String tmpIconName = BT_strings.getJsonPropertyValue(tmpItem.getJsonObject(), "iconName", ""); String tmpIconURL = BT_strings.getJsonPropertyValue(tmpItem.getJsonObject(), "iconURL", ""); if(tmpIconName.length() > 0){ icon = BT_fileManager.getDrawableByName(tmpIconName); }else{ if(tmpIconURL.length() > 0){ //use BT_imageLoader to get icon from URL... if(iconView != null){ BT_imageLoader.loadImage(getActivity(), tmpItem, iconView, tmpIconURL); getRemoteImage = true; } } } ///Set location for text if there is or is no icon (SAS) if(iconView == null){ RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT); lp.leftMargin = 5; lp.rightMargin = 45; lp.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_VERTICAL); titleView.setLayoutParams(lp); descriptionView.setLayoutParams(lp); }else{ RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT); lp.leftMargin = 105; lp.rightMargin = 45; lp.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_VERTICAL); titleView.setLayoutParams(lp); descriptionView.setLayoutParams(lp); } //set icon if (iconView != null && getRemoteImage == false){ iconView.setImageDrawable(icon); }

Hi everyone, Even i had faced same problem while setting up an app to new the new core. Further i had encountered problems in the html doc and customurl fragment files. Both the fragment files show error in the following lines (about line no.87)- webView.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true); For the time being i have commented out those lines in both plugins and the error has gone. I have not yet looked into the matter as to what might have caused the error. Additionally Chris's advanced menu too seem to have problem. When the header image is tapped, the app gets forceclosed and i get following errors in my console--- 09-02 06:52:17.071: E/AndroidRuntime(694): java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not find a method headerOnClick(View) in the activity class com.tigrignamusic.BT_activity_host for onClick handler on view class android.widget.ImageView with id 'headerImageView' 09-02 06:52:17.071: E/AndroidRuntime(694): Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: headerOnClick [class android.view.View] I think that the onClick handler method is not implemented in the BT_activity_host file and thats why this problem is caused. As i said i had no time to look into this matter, i have not tried to fix those issues. As far as the LA's app compatibility is concerned, his app is having 2 different apk's. One with old android core and one with new core. When he uploaded the new version, for production in playstore, the older one too is there. Thats why his apps current version shows targeted to "varies with device". This is new to me too since i never encountered with such a feature earlier as all my earlier updates were for 2.2 and above and not 3.0 or any other higher version and above. I think that when you update your app to different api level while your earlier app being targeted to lower api already in production, the google allows you to keep both the apk files in production. Will have to do a bit of research here to check if thats the case.

Wow! So maybe we can just file two apps with Google Play, and it will just serve up the right one based on our device. That would be very handy. I did some work on one of the issues reported above about the Nav Bar color at a theme level. It seems to work fine on a screen level. Here is a workaround on the Nav Bar (now it is really an Action Bar). In line 1500 of the BT_activity host, all you need to do is set a color number where it currently says navBarBackgroundColor: ColorDrawable(BT_color.getColorFromHexString(navBarBackgroundColor)); Here is all the language so you can see it in practice: //action bar color... if(navBarBackgroundColor.length() > 0){ ColorDrawable cd = new ColorDrawable(BT_color.getColorFromHexString("#B1E0F1")); actionBar.setBackgroundDrawable(cd); } I'll report this to David as well, so we can get it fixed so it can be controlled via the Control Panel.

I've tried your code Susan and still get the same errors. @Sandeep did you experience problems with Image with Menu plugin? I'm baffled lol For me the error is on line 196 and I've tried to rename and remove things but I'm not so advance in Android just yet.

@mysps- Yes, even i faced the same error at line 196 with the image with menu plugin. I will look into whats exactly causing the problem when i get time. I believe it should be something missing in the layout file.

On the App Name problem, I have the same problem in my test app. I reported it to David. The workaround is easy--just change the app_name in your String.xml file.

Ok Sandeep I'll keep trying as well! Susan are you referring to Worker73's original post? I was talking about the layout file and the class file in your plugin. Tomorrow I'll try to get a fresh look at things. Thanks!

I think David must have fixed the layout file and class file names before I downloaded a fresh project today. The other things I looked at were in @Worker73's original post.

That makes total sense what @Sandeep said about my two apk files because I couldn't figure out why I had two lol. I thought I did something wrong. When I submitted it, it did say something about the old apk file and users with a lower device will have the option or something for the old file and not the update. If that makes sense? LA

It seems that Google Play already supports different versions of the app. Have a look here: <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9756808/can-one-android-app-have-different-versions-for-different-devices-at-the-same-ti" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9756808/can-one-android-app-have-different-versions-for-different-devices-at-the-same-ti</a> Here I republish the main part of the answer on the above link: "Multiple APK support is a feature on Google Play that allows you to publish different APKs for your application that are each targeted to different device configurations. Each APK is a complete and independent version of your application, but they share the same application listing on Google Play and must share the same package name and be signed with the same release key. This feature is useful for cases in which your application cannot reach all desired devices with a single APK." To test this, I have downloaded the LA's app on a tablet with a 4.0.3 version of Android and yes, it is a BT 3.0 version; it has the colon in the upper right corner for the menu, while the version downloaded on the 2.3.6 device, a phone, has an icon of a house in the upper right corner. So it is true, Google supports different versions of the same app from the same listing. I suggest that the two versions of Buzztouch, for 2.2 up and from 3.0 and up compatibility, REMAIN to be available for download. This could be a big selling point for Buzztouch in general. Leaving 300 million phones out of the picture just for the sake of technological progress makes no business sense, at least not to me. Google isn't making that mistake, so why should we?

I managed to compile and run a BT2.0 version of my app, with an API level of 8, just as it used to be. That's good. For the BT3.0 version, I notice there is a splash screen with a Buzztouch logo. It is pre-installed, which is not how it used to be. Any thoughts?

@Dusko.... For the Splashscreen there are two solution... 1) Overwrite the Buzztouchlogo with yout Splashscreen... or 2) Delete it and Use your Splashscreenimage in the CP-Panel as "Background - Image"..... Works both fine ;-)

Hi guys... There are literally dozens of different topics discussed in this post. The title "Massive Problems with 2.1.9 Android 3.0" is a little misleading. I'll call it "mutiple problems and some confusion." There are 14 different questions or comments in the original post. Some are self hosted related, some are Android related. Version control, plugins, features, etc, etc. The Android code and the control panel are entirely different packages that do entirely difrerent things. The first idea is to make sure we all know what each does. Android Core: This is the base project for your mobile app. It's 100% NOT dependent on a control panel or a backend. But, as we all know, most folks do use it in conjunction with a control panel. Control Panel: This is used to configure options in an app. Options like screens, layout, etc. The control panel manipulates the config.txt file, helps you package up projects for download, and helps you make content changes to existing projects. Some short comments for 1-14 (these should be different posts I think?)... 1) Plugin HTML Doc. This surprised me. An HTML Doc (like a PDF or Word Doc) should show a landing screen with an open or download option, depending on some options. This is different than a Custom HTML or Custom URL screen. 2) Menu Plugins: It's not surprising that individual plugins may have issues when running in the new project. We've done tons and tons of updates to all of them and did lots of testing. We couldn't test all the possible configurations but did do lots. We're issuing plugin updates for individual plugins as each comment / questions / concern comes in. 3) "Where can i Disable the Top Navbar for the whole APP" The Action Bar and the Status bar are entirely different animals. You should be able to disable these like before - same settings. Sounds like this isn't working. Got it. We'll find and fix what's happening. 4) Tab Colors in Android: You cannot change the colors of a Tab Bar in Android programatically. This means you cannot change it using the control panel. BUT, you're welcome to change anything you want in the app's theme. See this for more info: http://jgilfelt.github.io/android-actionbarstylegenerator/ 5) Alert showing package results (self hosted control panels); This was removed a day or two after the 2.1.9 download was made available. It should not have been left in the project. Have a look at bt_v15/bt_app/app_appPackage.php for the alert() call. It's a javascript alert on about line 405. Remove it. The new download does not have this line. 6) Does the Integration of the Optional SDKs work? Yes, it works exactly like this feature in buzztouch.com hosted control panels. 7) WB_screen_menuImage.java: Sounds like this plugin has an error. Got it. We'll find and fix what's happening. 8) Is there an Option to change the Splahscreen Animation? Different splash screens use different options. If you're using the splash screen I made (the standard one) you can't do this in the control panel for Android. The control panel has some options but they are for iOS only. This is just like the older Android project. I did add an additional animation to this splash screen for fun. 9) Quiz, scrolling answers: Nothing in the quiz plugin has changed. If it's crashing something's wrong. I can't get it too crash here...doesn't mean it doesn't, just typing 14 answers 10) "all my APPS with the New Core have as Name Buzztouch". Yup, app_name in the strings.xml file was being overlooked by the download server. Already updated. Wont' happen on next download. 11) Upper left icon in status bar. It's customary to use the app's icon in the Action Bar. This his how your project is setup. However, you can do whatever you want in this configureNavBarAndBackgroundForScreen() method in the BT_activityHost.java file. This is the method that runs on every screen. Use actionBar.setIcon(d) where "d" = a drawable in your project. 12) Image Gallery: Yes, a few people are working on this for Android 13) Random splash: OK, "from time to time" is hangs. Any tips on re-creating this? We'll get it ironed out but it seems to work well? 14) Plugin Timer: This was updated. Download and install (and refresh) the package for this plugin. It inclused the updateURL now. Whew! LOL. Thanks for all the awesome feedback, we'll have these worked out soon enough....

@David.... Thanks, thanks.. aaaaand Thanks... i try it later.... and make a new "List" here :-)

@David Can we have a build number? Last time we did this, i.e. upgrade to 2.1.8, lots of people were confused as to which version have they already installed on the panel vs. what is the latest version and should they download and install it once again or were they already having it installed... If we had the build number, we would just know whether we have the latest subversion of 2.1.9 or not.

I agree with David @buzztouch! We need to start a few new forums here that will be easier for other users of buzztouch to easily find when they have a similar problems. LA

Thanks Susan and David!! I love you guys for all of the work you put into these updates .. I know its not easy!! Please come to the East Coast meetup. I owe you all several drinks :) I like that tab bar/action bar generator! Sweet Thanks again

At first thanks all for the Feedback... In the Last 2 Days I have made an Android APP where the Users can Test ALL Features from Buzztouch... I have included All PlugIns that i own for Android. I Included also SCRINGO with an extra ID. So the Buzztouchcommunity can also Use it in conclusen with other Buzztouch Users ;-) I have Included NO ADS! I made it for the Community and there also NO Facebook or Twitter Login in Scringo (Only Email). QR-Code Download: http://bit.ly/17JvDUq Direct Download Link: http://bit.ly/1fwzRhi PLEASE USE THIS LINKS AND DONT SHARE THE APK ON ANY OTHER SERVER WHITOUT MY PERMISSION (Its all for the Statistics ;-) )! Okay... now to the Answers from David ;-) 1) That was my mistake.... sorry for that.... WORKS! Thanks! 2) Menü Copying is Solved... Dont now what it was?? 3) WORKS! Thanks! 4) Okay.... No problem... 5) WORKS! 6) Doesnt work or iam blind? There are no "Scringocode" in the "BT_activity_host.java". I insert it by Hand and now it works... 7) WORKS! Thanks 8) Okay... Maybe one time there are also Animations for Android in it ;-))) 9) At the Moment with now Questiongrafics it Works... I have Included the Quiz in the Demoapp 10) WORKS! Thanks! 11) Okay Thanks.... In some cases its better to make there a Grafik with "BACK" and not the Appicon... Some People dont Understand Logic ;-) 12) Image Gallery: Good to hear... I hope that many, many PlugIns are comming out in the next Weeks ;-) 13) Random Splash: No Problem..... In my Demoapp you can Call the Screen for Crashtesting via Menubutton.... ;-). I have made 4 Images and attached it to the Splashscreen. Sometimes also the are not displayed... 14) Plugin Timer: Download works now but the PlugIn not ;-(. In the Controlpanel on the Download i selected it (But there are no Android or Appleicon by the Plugin) and on Appcall there comes the Error: "Missing PlugIn: The Android class file for this screen was not compiled in the project." So... And thats some "New" Errors what i have found ;-) 15) On the Quizplugin from David the "Select" Buttons from the Soundeffects (Sound Effect Correct, Sound Effect Incorrect, Sound Effect Finished & Sound Effect Reward) are wrong in the Control Panel ;-/ Same on the "Send Results to URL" Selectlink 16) The "Email Image" Plugin from GoNorthWest.... When i take a Foto with my Handy and i touch on Save, the APP Crashes.... Seams to be a MemoryProblem? 17) On the "Menu Image Advanced" PlugIn from cris1... There are "Flicker" Errors when you move up and down in the Menu. Looks Like On Start: http://bit.ly/14nvsIC On Mooving: http://bit.ly/17oqXNU 18) On the "AT53 Video Player" PlugIn from ATRAIN53... I have an Video in the APP... Sound is Okay, but no Image !? 19) On the "SP YouTube Android" PlugIn from Suvinay pawa... Works Fine... But the "Activitys" must made "By Hand" in the AndroidManifest File. The Readme of the Plugin Says that when you download the Fullscource from your App with the Plugin, the Changes are finally made in the Manifest ;-((( Okay.... Thanks for the GREAT SUPPORT from all .... P.S. Sorry for the Design for the DemoApp to all TRECKIES! *grin*

@Worker73 Today I've downloaded the source code 3.0. The WB_Image plugin works for you out of the box? No matter what for me I get the syntax error and crashes each time. Did you change this line (196): LinearLayout headerImageContainer = (LinearLayout) thisScreensView.findViewById(R.id.headerImageContainer); at all?

Hmm. I am not sure what is happening with the Menu with Image. The only problem I had was with icons on a URL. I am going to update my plugin package with the new code above, and try a new project. Maybe something is off in my references, and my plugin is referencing another plugin. I'll try a package with just the Menu with Image in it.

Maybe its me.. Worker73 has it working. I must note..I hardly use the control panel.. Many of my projects don't contain any screens in the cp, as I work from the json directly. I noticed that context menu is required and so I thought it was that. I've added it but still crashes. Please report back on your menu with image project only. thanks!

@mysps: I have Absolutly maked NO Change in the PlugIns... All PlugIns in this DemoApp are Out Of The Box (Just some Chanches in the Manifest File for Google Map, the SP Youtube PlugIn and Scringo and also in the "BT_activity_host.java" File to activate Scingo)... The most Problems are gone after i downloaded the Server again from my BT Account here and installed it Again on my Server... Its the same Build Number 2.1.9 but David had made some Changes as you can see on the upper Message from him.... I dont know why David have left the same Buildnumber... Maybe that is a good Point for the Future to change it also when a "little" Bugfis is made in it...... Try to download the Server Again and Install/Update it... Then Download ALL PlugIns from the Server ControlPanel AGAIN and Refresh the PlugIns... Then try it again.... For me solved that the most Problems.....

One Thing.... ALL Appgrafics are IN the APP... Icons, Backgrounds, Lodingscreen, Spashscreen etc. are IN the APP... They are not loaded via URL... I dont Checked that because i dont like Loading Maingrafixs from an URL...

Ok so I should download the server again from BT and install over what I have correct? Alright I'll try that. I thinking also could it be that I'm building up against Android 4.0.3. APIS 15 instead of Android 4.0 APIS 14? I also built another project with only the menu image plugin and continued to crash Lol..eventually I'll get it working Thanks

Yes mine as well. I always load IN APP. So we will see with the update of server and downloading Android 4.0 sdk

I keep Fingers Crossed 4 You...

On the Menu with Image I have a project going with the same problem mySPS reported. When I set up a package with only the Menu with Image and Blank Plugins, I have the same error as mySps. I am working on fixing it now and I will turn it in to David as soon as I figure it out.

Ah ok Susan good to you know that you have the same issue. But it could be my set up. I tried @Worker73's solution which was to download the server again and install the plugins but still had issues. Worker73 was able to compile with no issues or editing the code. Mysterious! Thanks

I have the Menu with Image repaired. Let me know if you need help before it is officially posted on the plugins page.
