iPad startup screen scaling

  • January 10, 2012

I have an Air for iOS app that supports iPhone and iPad. I have included the following screeens:

Default-portrait.png -- 768 x 1024 for iPad startup

Default@2X.png -- 640 x 960 for iPhone 4 startup

Default.png -- 320 x 480 for iPhone 3GS

On the iPad, the image draws quickly, but is blurry and scales down as soon as it loads -- it looks like it is loading scaled larger than it's native size then popping down. And the image itself is saved as a lossless png, but draws as a very blurred pic.

Anyone else run into this?

The names that Sanika gave seems wrong. What you had as Default-portrait was almost right. The p needs to be upper case: Default-Portrait.

Also, there used to be a problem when apps start up. Make sure you're using AIR 2.7 or 3.1, and not 2.6.

That did it. It was the case of hte file name. Because the case was incorrect it was grabbing the default image an d scaling it. Thanks a ton.

Could you rename your png files as:

Default.png - iPad

Default@2x~iphone.png iPhone4

Default~iphone.png iPhone 3GS?

These are the guidelines for a universal app as per http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/iPhoneOSProgrammingGuide/App-RelatedResources/App-RelatedResources.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007072-CH6-SW12.

Hope this helps.
