Hello, You're on the right track. To make it offline, you need to do a couple of things: * If you are using HTML docs, put them, and any images related to that doc, in the BT_Docs folder * Any images should go in res > drawable. These are like background images, gui images, button images, etc. Remember to use the 0_9a_z naming convention, or Android will scream at you! * To prevent the app from checking online for updates (which is what an offline app really is, in buzztouch terms), go into your control panel for that app, hit the Core Properties section, and clear out the Configuration Data URL section, as well as the ReportToCloud URL. That will (1) prevent the app from checking for updates, and (2) for the app to use the BT_Config.txt file that the app ships with. That's pretty much it! Any more questions, just shout! Mark

Delete the "Cloud URL" from the "Report to URL" section of Core Settings in your aps control panel. That will prevent the app from going out to check for an update. You can, and probably should, also delete the "Configuration Data URL" from the "Configuration Data URL" section of the Core Settings area. That won't give it a place to retrieve updates from, and it'll rely on the config file you included with your app.
