menu with image prob!

Hi all, I am developing an android app using menu with image plugin for it. PROB: When i don't give any icon to a row it works fine, but when i give icon, the row stops working and when pressed, it says somethings not right,No screen is connected to this?. I am not using buzztouch v3.0 as it does not work on devices less than 4.0 .Any advice will be very helpful. Thanks in advance, Hamza.

Hi Hamza and welcome to Buzztouch With version 3 being just released, some of the plugins have had bugs being reported. Your bug has been mentioned elsewhere in the forum and I believe this plugin has recently been updated (yesterday I think), so I suggest making sure the latest version is in your build. Alan

Hello, Having the same issue with this plugin. I am new to buzztouch, just wondering do I need to install the new plugin update from somewhere or will the update be pushed automatically? I haven't been able to find the updated version anywhere. Ewa

Each plugin has a version number, which is one way of telling if they have updated and authors increment the number for a new release. The problem of plugins not updating is, I believe, only affecting self hosted control panels. If your apps are on the Buzztouch.com host, I believe the update process there is automatic. I am using my self hosted most of the time. When an update happens on any control panel, to get the latest into your app, the easiest option is to download the whole app again. Regards, Alan

hey just got a crack for my prob. what i did is, 1. I deleted the default arrow image file (bt_chervon_arrow.png) from the drawable folder and paste in my row image whith the same name i.e bt_chervon_arrow.png. 2. In wb_menu_row.xml i changeg its position from right to left i.e android:layout_alignParentLeft="true". This change should be done in second Imageview. 3. Again in wb_menu_row.xml changed android:gravity="center" in the first Textview. I know this is not the very right solution but for instance its fine. if anyone knows the real solution to it please help. Hamza

I use this menu and I don't have your issue, so I can't explain why it was going wrong in the first place. But I am impressed with your lateral thinking and for a person that's just started out on BT, that is indeed a clever approach.

I downloaded the source code again but still having the same issue. I'm hoping a new update will come soon to fix this. I'm gonna try to workout the issue with Hamza choudhary's solution. The only problem I can see with it is that I want to keep the arrow in each row but I'm assuming it will be missing if I do the fix above. Ewa

Check again. Has the version number changed on the plugin? A problem that prevented plugin developers from updating their plugins has been fixed. Perhaps Susan has uploaded the updated version her plugin. Generate a new version of the app via the BuzzTouch.com control panel for that app. Then download, configure and run that new version of the app. -- Niraj

I have realised that the menu with image plugin has an issue if you further go into the entry and add further changes to it like Child Properties where you add second line description or image....if you use that control panel utility and save it, the menu line item stops working. Work around in control panel is to create an entry as usual but do not use child property screen to amend or add further details....instead amend JSON directly on the control panel using the icon next to the menu item line. In the JSON add items such as Rather than going into using your config panel to change the parameters and adding second line etc, you change the JSON manually adding the extra lines at that level For example "descriptionText": "Tourist Hotspots", "rowAccessoryType": “none" And save JSON. This has same effect except that when you save it the menu item still works fine. I have Reported this to Susan at BT to see if it can be looked into. Hope work around is useful to those having problems. regards Alan

Thanks Niraj,Alan and ofcourse author Susan for trying to help solve the problem. I again downloaded the source code and tried to run it, the row image problem is solved, and the rows with image icon works fine BUT the row which contains menu with image plugin does'nt load and the app crashes. I do not know whats wrong here. Any one who experienced this prob.? Thanks again, Hamza

Hi all, I just got a solution for my problem, i was using the same background name as the index page in the particular row. Hence, when row was clicked my app crashed. So is it necessary to use new backgrounf name in every new page? Thanks Everyone, Hamza.
