I have a fairly simple xml file that has an image button in it. The image shows up fine on the Graphical Layout xml designer, shows up fine when I run a development build, but as soon as I create the signed apk file and run it, the image no longer shows up. It's just an empty button. I can't think of a reason why, any ideas? The xml file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/navigation_root"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/navigation_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dp"
android:text="TextView"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
<SeekBar
android:id="@+id/navigation_seekbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:padding="5dp" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dp" >
<ImageButton
android:id="@+id/part_select_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="@drawable/chapter_select" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/navigation_ok_button"
android:layout_width="75dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="@string/ok" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/navigation_cancel_button"
android:layout_width="75dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="@string/cancel" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
The image @drawable/chapter_select
is a fairly small (41*41) png file that is in the res/drawable folder.
Seems like this is a bug with android, where sometimes the first image in the drawable folder doesn't show up. Added a dummy image called aaaa.png to the drawable folder and problem was solved. Found the answer here: ImageButton does not display a particular drawable
