Android Question Debug(rapid): Error loading bitmap.

[Shay]

Hi

while using debug rapid I am getting this error,
while I am running release mode it is ok (showing the icon ok)

error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Error loading bitmap.

code:
result = Msgbox2("message","title","yes","cancel",no",LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets,"exit.ico"))

ico? I dont think Android supports that file format.

ico? I dont think Android supports that file format.

Ico is usually a BitMaP (*.BMP)

But

while I am running release mode it is ok (showing the icon ok)

it seems that the ico will be loaded and showed in release-mode.

Anyway Erel wrotes in another thread (from 2012):

Android doesn't have a built-in encoder for BMP format. Only for jpeg or png.

So from this state i would say the ICO should not be showed

Actually i´m a bit irritated

Technically not supported: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html but sometimes it works.
It seems to be hit and miss though, I dont know why you cant just convert the ico to png and use that (to be safe).

I changed it to jpg, now it is ok
thanks

It's better to change to png, because jpg doen't support alpha.
