Hi all. I load an 'alpha enabled' png icon and use it in the layout xml file.
In simulator everything looks excellent ! But when I try it on the Device (des...@froyo 2.2) it looks BAD :( The icon itself is ok but the fading out alpha (shade) looks like it's been rendered in cga graphics :) The shade fades out in steps rather then linearly making an aureola effect. The iPhone experts working beside me informed me that iPhone used to have this problem and the source was premultiplied alpha done automagically by the environment. iPhone (so they tell me) later on offerred an option to turn premultiplication off, and the issue was closed. Here I go rambling... 1) In short, does anyone know if premultiplication really is causing my problem ? 2) What should I tell my designer to use to create nice fade out/shade effect ? 3) can i add shade to my icons in XML / code ? 4) I will try adding the png in raw (and changing the extension, just in case) and load it at runtime 5) Any other suggestions ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
