designer scripts - how to ...

[Aysic4Bandroid]

hi,
Please can anyone put be right here - i want to load a different background image in a panel which is set 100% wide and high. I'm testing on three specific devices:
3.5 inch phone, and
7 and 10.1 inch tablets
and landscape and portrait variations for each

How can i achieve this with the designer scripts feature (i'm currently getting an error when trying to run this code in the variant-specific script block for my 7", landscape variant:

'Variant specific script: 800x480,scale=1
pnlBackdrop.SetBackgroundImage(LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets,"appbg_L7.png"))

The error reads:

Compiling code.                         0.01
Compiling layouts code.                 Error
The given key was not present in the dictionary.
Error File: kwzmka_main.bal

Go to the designer script page to debug this error.

Have i misunderstood the scope of what can be achieved in the designer scripts tab - if i do it in the editor with conditional statements is this the correct way?

Many Thanks

You CANNOT do this on the designer scripts:

pnlBackdrop.SetBackgroundImage(LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets,"appbg_L7.png"))

You will have to do that on the activity

You could use a code like THIS to achieve what you're looking for.

You can add an ImageView on the Panel and then set ImageView.Image to set the image.
This will allow you to set different images based on the variant.
