Using -port and -land qualifiers, with same image name, is the right thing to do. This leverages the usual resource loading mechanism when those images are accessed by the launcher.
Managing images per orientation from code is a path leading only to pain and madness, as that requires tracking the home screen's orientation (which, in the general sense, may not be the same as the device's, and often is not). Jona, Make sure that every single RemoteViews object you push to the widget has all the images (and text and pending intents) that bring it up to date. Do not push one update for a button, another for a line of text, and then yet another for a pending intent. All but the most recent one will be lost after an orientation change. -- Kostya 2011/6/17 ThaMe90 <[email protected]> > You might have different images for different screen orientations, but > the names of the images are the same: > > button_image_on.png > button_image_off.png > > Because the names are the same the OS doesn't know which you want it > to show.
