Java Development

Hi all,

I have developed a Java midlet application in Blackberry plug in for Eclipse 3.6.0 and it runs in Blackberry 9800 simulator. However the icon that appears in the simulator is a BB default icon but not the icon I included in the res img file. I have tried with several sizes of icon such as  80x80, 68x68, 48x36. but my icon still does not appear in the simulator.

I would appreciate advice from you all on how to correct the situation.

Best regards,

Nikorn L.

Welcome to the forum.

In your BlackBerry_App_Descriptor.xml file, on the Application tab, you will see an "Application Icons" section. Simply select "Add" then navigate to your icon and select "OK" then run your app again.

Hi,

Thanks for your advice. I did just as you advised. My icon appeared in the Application Descriptor xml menu but it did not show up in the simulator.

Please check in the app descriptor file that 

"Do not display the application icon on the Blackberry home screen" 

is unchecked or not? If not make it unchecked.

Hi

1)resolution->   height-360

                            width-480      app icon size 80X80 .png

2) resolution->  

                            height-480      

                            width-360    app icon size 53X53.png

3) resolution->  

                            height-240      

                            width-320   app icon size 32X32.png

this is the advisable size for app icon please use this same size 

step to add the app icon in plugin with eclips

1) took 2 images of the same size and just change the name (image.png and image_rollover.png) and keep it in to res folder  

2) open App discriptor.xml add both images checked on roll over image

3) save it and clean the simulator and run it.

thanks
