Hi guys I am having trouble setting a background image as my android background. I have the image (named background.png) in my drawable folder and everything set to clear but it wont come up. in Catlog the only thing I can find is the fact that it is loading a background colour not an image. Is this a common issue? Thanks in advance.

Hi Mak, What you mean, everything set to clear? There another image in your folder with same name? LA

Hi LA, I mean that the rows in my screen is set to clear. No that's the only file with at name in the folder.

Try a product clean and a refresh. Also try a uninstall and reinstall on your device or emulator. LA

Ok, I shall try that now On a slightly side note, what would happen if I replaced the bt_blank.png with my background page? Thank you for the help

Well this is the time when my phone decides it wants to upgrade to kit kat...

Don't replace the blank one. LA

OK I shan't

Type of Android device you have? LA

Nexus 4.

Hmm my app has now just started crashing on me all of a sudden. Says FATAL EXCEPTION: Main.

What does logcat say? Also turn on your messaging here. I tried to email you on here. LA

It appears that it's trying to load a splash screen, but can't find it. Do you have one configured? You have to do that in the Theme section of your Control Panel.

I did have one but i removed it. Hmm, let me try to remove it again.

Thank you @GoNorthWest! Great catch! LA

Ok, so I don't have a splash screen in place. Yet it still is trying to load one. What I am going to do is delete the project, recompile and see if that works.

Right, that solves the crash problem. Yet the image problem still exits....

And Thank you both for solving that issue... I'm not going ot touch splash screens for a while....

I have yet to figure out the splash screen all the way..lol LA

:) This image thing is annoying though, don't want a single coloured background...

Did you name it in the control panel too? LA

Yes it is there under images, in the same name. (you mean the BT control panel, yes?)

Yes. I'm not sure then without looking at it. You put the image in the drawable? LA

Indeed I have, I can see it when I click on res/drawable.

You did a clean and refresh? You can try to copy the config on your bt control panel and replace it in your config file in your project. LA

I have indeed. So I tried a different Image and that worked.... hmm maybe the image is working but i cant see it?

I tried putting the icon.png image there, so what could be the difference between that and one I placed in?

LA, Its finally working! The old copy and paste trick worked!! Thanks so much for your help :) Really appreciate it!

Not sure! The image transparent? LA

Awesome! LA
