Not sure what's wrong but I always have my TAB icons on the device (not sure if that changes things?) If they are on the device, make sure you put them into the res/drawable folder for Android. Hope this helps :)

In my experience, icons for tab buttons need to be around 31 pixels by 31 pixels, they must be .png format and the background must have transparency.

Arrr. I know exactly what's going on. What you will need to do is go to Buzztouchmods.com and download the files where you can make the tabs. I have never tried it because I think that that is a hassle for me and I just use Buzztouch 1.5 to develop my apps. It already has the icons. I do understand that 2.0 is slightly more powerful, but for me, 1.5 is just as powerful and is much easier to use. In fact, the only app I've published has been 1.5, and that worked out fine.

With the tab, it has to be local. A link cannot be used.

Try putting the icon images in the /res/drawable folder, that should do the trick. Don't forget to clean and rebuild your project. Cheers Darrel

Thanks Darrel, I already figured it out, dropped them in the /res/drawable/ folder did the trick. It's not like iOS dragging in the folder BT_images,... that is for iOS only right? Regards, Vidal
