Background Image

Post by prenger745 » Wed Apr 01, 2015 4:39 am

Hello All,

I am very new to LC. I have been able to create and successfully test an app on my device. What I can't seem to wrap my head around is image settings and sizes.

The phone I am testing on is an LG. Model: LGLS990

Do I have to create a separate background image for every model out there...or can I create one background image and it resizes according to the device?

If that is the case, what size should my background image be?

thanks,
Dan

I don't see why you shouldn't have one image that can be resized.

As to the size of the image: well, just make sure it at least as large as the largest screen resolution you are
building for to maintain the quality of the image.

That is good to know. There must be some coding involved because I load up my app and the background image is there...but all of my icons and stuff are off screen.

Any thoughts?
