[MonoTouch] Question regarding setting background image for UIButton.

[Leonardo Suryana]

Hi Craig,

 

I've tried that but it still won't work. The xcode console output still
states that the image is null. Could it be that it couldn't find the image
because all I did was stick in the image name instead of the path? If so,
would the path be just the project path + image name?

 

Thanks

Leo - I had a similar issue with
http://conceptdev.blogspot.com/2009/10/monotouch-isoflair-20.html (worked on
sim, failed on device)

//UIImage img = UIImage.FromFile (ImagePath); // WHY does this break???






UIImage img = UIImage.FromFileUncached(ImagePath); // BUT this works???

and found FromFileUncached() worked where FromFile() didn't...


Geoff - when I found a workaround I stopped looking for the cause. I might
go back and check to see if there is anything obvious in the Device output.

cd

Leonardo,

 

  Have you looked at the Xcode Organizer->Console to see what the error is
on device?

Hey,

 

I've been using a few buttons on my test app and would love for those
buttons to have a background image associated with them.

Now in my Main.cs under the FinishedLauching method, I've set the background
image for one of my buttons (let's call it button A) to an image:

 

buttonA.BackgroundColor = UIColor.Clear;

buttonA.SetBackgroundImage(UIImage.FromFile("random.png"),
UIControlState.Normal);

 

and this works beautifully when deployed in the simulator. Now when I
deployed it on my iPod Touch, however, the app seems to not be able to load.

Has anyone have this issue before or did I do something wrong?

 

Specs:

MonoTouch 1.1.1 Professional Edition

Mono Develop 2.2 Beta 1

Mac OS 10.5

iPhone SDK 3.1.2

 

THANKS!
