Sizes of App icons: do I need .bar files separate PlayBook and BB 10 OS?

I'm a little confused by the documentation on the app icon sizes. In particular, it is possible to generate a unique .bar file that will run on PlayBook and BB 10 OS and have the correct icon size? We intend to submit applications for the Android Port-A-Thon, but we also want the applications to run on the PlayBook.

This page seems to mean two things at the same time: you need an icon of 86 x 86 in the res/drawable-hdpi file for execution on the PlayBook and a 114 x 114 for on BB 10 OS icon. However, it is said that with a 96 x 96 icon in res/drawable-xhdpi , "conversion to PlayBook of BlackBerry and BlackBerry 10 OS will be optimized." Does that mean I can have a single code base, but still need to generate two .bar files? Or does this mean that a single .bar file will run correctly on both platforms?

Also, I remember reading that if a .bar file did not have a launch of 86 x 86 icon, it will not appear on a PlayBook. How does that square with the above 96 x 96 unique icon?

Hello

If your application fuctions properly on both, the best method is to use a high resolution icon (114 x 114) for your application. It will work on BlackBerry 10 and automatically be scaled down for BlackBerry PlayBook when it is installed.

See you soon,.

  • Cannot download BAR file for PlayBook. "Transfer error".

    I tried to download my file .bar for playbook for 3 days now, but I keep getting errors. My .bar file is 50 MB in size, I don't know if the size is causing this problem. I tried several browsers: IE, Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

    What happens when the upload 100% or I get an error message saying "Transfer error has occurred" or the progress bar jump down to 1% and stays there until the site times out and I have to log in again.

    I tried both my click "Add filebundle".bar file buttons 'Import Batch files. "

    I tried to download my app as a .bar file and also compress the .bar in a zip file. . Bar or .zip worked using "Import Batch files" or "add a filebundle.

    I know that my .bar file is not damaged and that it is signed correctly because I am able to deploy in the PlayBook and it works perfectly.

    If I use Firefox, I always get the "transfer error occurred" error and when I use IE bar always jumps to 1% of the increase and the Web site times out.

    Has anyone of another been able to download a file of 50 MB ot more high? I see the game to PlayBook that are big more than 300 MB, so I guess that 50 MB is OK.

    Thanks in advance

    Ok. I put in a ticket and received a response from Blackberry that there is currently a problem with the download of large files.

    If the person supported offered Blackberry download my file for me and my game is finally approved and live on the PlayBook. Thanks to all for your responses.

    Blackberry support said they are working on fixing it so if someone runs into a problem of downloading a large file (don't know the size limits, my record was 50 MB) don't forget to put in a support ticket, so you don't waste a lot of time

    Hello

    I'm completely up to date with CC 2015 and all my applications.  CC does not start.  When I run CC, I get a grey-out icon in the top bar for a moment and then disappears.  Double-click on the application of CC causes it to appear greyed out for only a moment. Too much.  I deleted the data OOBE folder.  No help.  I have repaired permissions.  No help.  I secured started. No help. I have reset the PRAM. No help.

  • Two extensions that I place on the navigation bar are moved to the bottom of the status bar when I left and reopen firefox

    The self-destruction of cookies and spoofer random agent have all two icons for the addons. I move the icons until the navigation bar where they sit and function while I use firefox. I then quit firefox normally and when I open it up, icons are back in the status bar. I have active sync I think that maybe that's the problem, but I still have to test this.

    I created an application. Everything works fine when I compile Momentics, but when I create a file via the 'Export release build'.bar and install this file on the device app does not work properly.

    The application creates a profiles and showing them in the list view, all the data in the json file. When I install the application of the .bar file create profile and change the settings for this profile and return to the main screen, profiles disappear. This problem will not occur when you compile a program on the phone directly from Momentics.

    Welcome on the support forums.

    you reproduce the workflow step by step with a debug version?
    do you have any record that can give you advice? If not, add a little.
    where is the location json file that you use to save the data? Perhaps a relative path is used.

  • Size of the icons in the Quick Launch bar

    The icons in the Quick Launch bar are usually about half the size of the icons on the desktop. Mine are now the same size, which is awfully big for the Quick Launch bar. Having the taskbar at the bottom of my screen, it takes at least two lines to display the icons.

    What I found the same icons are used, but it seems that there must be a way to set the size of the icons shown.

    How can I resize them to their normal size? So far, I found nothing on this topic, any ideas here?

    TIA,

    Margriet

    First of all, it must unlock the taskbar, if it is locked. Now on the first line in front of the icons, right-click when the arrow on the side shows. At the sight of quality performances. Switch to the kid. If it is already on small, for some reason any. Put it in wide and apply, then back to small to see if it returns it. [_1337_Pete_]
