Help needed about CIQ app Launcher icon

It might be a dumb question, but it seems that I can't figure out how to make the launcher icon of an app to appear in the list of installed CIQ apps on a device.

Is there anything special to be done when building the app project?

A long time ago the launcher icons were appearing (it was still SDK 2.0.x at that time). Then at some point with newer SDK versions they stopped appearing on any of my devices. Only the app title is shown in the list, without an icon.

The launcher icon is there in the resourses (at least the compiler gives a warning in case the image size in the specified file does not match the icon size of the target device, so the file gets processed somehow) but at the end it never shows on the real device.

I'm building my apps from command line with "monkeyc" and then loading them directly on the device.

The project type is application (it's neither a datafield, nor a widget)

The devices I'm currently working with are epix watch, fenix3 watch, Oregon700.

As I've mentioned, well in the past the icons were appearing and this was on the epix. The remaining devices are newer and I have them after the  launcher icons disappeared from the compiled apps.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you in advance.

  • Try replacing your launcher icon with a known one (maybe from one of the samples in the SDK), and see if that works.  I'm guessing it's something about png you're using.

  • Already tried that and no success...

    In order to isolate any chance of something not being correctly specified on my app project, I've compiled and loaded on device some of the samples provided in the SDK. Again no launcher icons displayed, only the app titles. Otherwise the apps are working just fine.

    I've uploaded on the epix as it is known to have shown my app icons in the past.

    Can it be something about the way the app is compiled? I'm not using Eclipse, but compiling from command line with monkeyc instead.

  • In the case of the Oregon, it doesn't show launcher icons.  I don't think it ever did.
