So I was just jumping the gun and was excited to test out my app on a Nexus 7 but I couldn’t get it to work but I also got this message
[lua] [copy] Warning: Could not find file /Users/***/Icon.png to copy.
[copy] Warning: Could not find file /Users/***/Icon-hdpi.png to copy.
[copy] Warning: Could not find file /Users/***/Icon-ldpi.png to copy.
[copy] Warning: Could not find file /Users/***/Icon-mdpi.png to copy.[/lua]

So how are all these icons different (hdpi, idpi, mdpi) and do I have to make the icons a certain pixel size?

Also in the building setup page, an Android build was the correct choice for the nexus 7 correct? [import]uid: 35535 topic_id: 32873 reply_id: 332873[/import]

Icon-ldpi.png is a 36x36 image
Icon-mdpi.png is a 48x48 image
Icon-hdpi.png is a 64x64 image and
Icon-xhdpi.png is a 96x96 image.

You have to include them and they go in same folder as your main.lua file.

If you plan to build for iOS then there is a host of Icons you have to include and some changes need to be done to your build.settings folder.

Android does make use of the Default.png file to show while the system loads your app, which is the same file that iOS uses.

The nexus 7 said to use Android File Transfer to transfer files from a Mac to an android device. If I drop the apk file into the android’s “download” file, do you think that will work? [import]uid: 35535 topic_id: 32873 reply_id: 130866[/import]

The easiest way to install an APK file to the Nexus 7 is via DropBox. When you’ve downloaded the file it will automatically prompt you to install it then open it.
