Porting Android application to BlackBerry 10 - image sizes documentation? - android

I can successfully port my android application to bb10 via eclipse plugin that BlackBerry provides and launch my app in BlackBarry 10 simulator.
Here is my problem. Images in my application are not seems ok. They are scaled and distorted.
I searched but couldn't find a documentation about proper image sizes (except app icon)
Is there a documentation for that? Or how do you use your images?
Thanks

Did you provide xHDPI images in your application? If not, it's an expected behaviour

Wrong icon used for Add to Homescreen from Firefox on Android

In my HTML, I followed the guidelines here: https://mathiasbynens.be/notes/touch-icons
Currently, I have only 192x192 size icon for my app. My phone is Samsung Galaxy 4 running Android 5.0.1.
With this, Chrome on Android adds the icon correctly to homescreen but Firefox on Android does not. The latter adds a generic "C within a square" icon. See attachment.
Is this a limitation with Firefox? Is there a way to solve this?
When running RealFaviconGenerator's current favicon compatibility test with Firefox 58 on a Samsung Galaxy S7 running Android 7, I get the 180x180 Apple Touch icon:
What can go wrong with your particular case?
Your icon is slightly larger, 192x192, whereas the highest resolution defined by Apple is 180x180. In the article you mention, the reason for this is Android Chrome. But now Chrome is using the Web App manifest so this trick is probably outdated.
Caching issue. Browsers are well-known for reloading icons only when they want to. Maybe you tried various solutions and now Firefox is stuck with an old setup. Use another phone or try again in a few hours.

Ionic app looks small in high res devices

I'm new on ionic. I'm building a simple demo app to decide if I will use ionic or not in my project.
I'm currently having this problem styling the app. Default theme looks OK in low-res devices, but looks too small in high-res devices (look the example images at the bottom)
Is there a way to resolve this globally? I want to AVOID creating custom meadia queries per resolution.

Convert android app icons to iOS app icons

I made an Android app. Now it's time to bite Apple.
I have had a little chance of developing iOS App before iOS7 released.
I want to make iOS app as same look and feel as Android app with similar UI components between Android and iOS as possible as I can. Therefore, if possible, I would like to re-use every design resources from Android to iOS app. So, I wonder if I can generate all the icons, images mostly will be resized to fit iOS6,7 app from Android icons current I had.
I found some online sites it generates all sizes of images from one image for iOS and Android.
IOS and Android App Icon size generator
Generate app icons of all sizes in a click!
I wonder if there are other solutions or some better ideas to achieve this.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.
Generally ios devices have retina screens and higher resolutions than android devices. I think you should not do this image resizing operation. If you do this, your ios app won't have a good view because of the higher resolutions of the ios devices' screens. You should make your design all over again for ios app.

Why do some images not appear on android but on iphone?

I hope anyone can help me! I created an app for iPhone with Appcelerator Titanium, now I want to translate it for Android, but in the emulator some of my images do not appear and only with android 2.3.3 it works.
This is a known and logged issue. It is scheduled to be fixed in the 1.6
You can check out the log from their bug tracking system:
Medium Density Images Bug Logged - Appcelerator
So, no immediate relief for you but it's coming. This happens to be on occasion, I'm currently waiting for the UIscreen for iOS so I can support external displays / VGA dongle.

Window shrinked to quarter of screen size when running app from Android Phone on Appaccelerator Titanium

I have build an iPhone app and using same code to compile Android app. When I run the app in the phone (HTC Desire) instead in emulator, the main window shrinked to the quarter of the screen size, everything else is working fine except this. Can someone please let me know if there is any configuration to look for in Titanium ?
Ubuntu
Appaccelerator Tatanium Studio
HTC Desire
This could possibly help you?
Looking at screenshots on Appaccelerator website I see that Android phone is presented by HTC Hero, which is kind of old for 2011. This makes me think that Appaccelerator is not aware of newest high-density devices like Desire. If Appaccelerator uses physical coordinates for pixels then on high-density phones you'll get exactly the behavior you describe.
Anyways, phrase patent-pending development technology stated on the Appaccelerator website is already an alarming sign against using it.
