I'm trying to add a splash screen to an iOS app built using Xamarin.Forms. I'm able to get the splash screen itself to display, but I'm unable to add an image to an ImageView in the storyboard editor.
I can replicate this behavior in a brand-new "Cross Platform" solution, and I'm following the instructions here. Specifically, at step 10 in the instructions, you're supposed to be able to select the image from a dropdown.
If you actually click on the arrow of what only appears to be a dropdown, however, nothing actually "drops down"; instead VS opens an OpenFileDialog entitled "Add Existing Item".
No matter what file I choose, VS only adds it to the project's Resource folder (as a BundleResource), but doesn't change the image in the storyboard at all.
I've tried adding the images to the Asset Catalog as both a Launch Image and a regular Image Set. I've tried typing either a filename or an asset set name into the editable part of the "dropdown"; no luck. I've also tried editing the storyboard XML to add an image= attribute (to the ImageView tag), again using either a filename or an asset set name, but it doesn't work, and subsequent saves from the storyboard editor actually remove the attribute. I also tried explicitly adding the entire "Assets.xcassets" folder to the project, as suggested by one of the answers here.
FWIW, the property labeled "Highlighted", directly under "Image", also has the same behavior. I'm assuming this is a VS bug of some sort; the behavior of the property is different not only from what's described in the docs, but conflicts with the appearance of the control.
Has anyone come across a workaround?

I have a problem with references to an image not updating in pages that are using that image.
This is the steps that the users are reporting
go to /siteadmin#/content/dam/
on the "new" dropdown menu, select "new file"
select an image file that is a different image but has the same name as a file that already exists
upload the file and when asked that a file already exists, choose replace
activate the file when the upload completes
The problem is that when I check pub I can see the image is updated, and if I navigate to the path of the image, for example:
pub1.mypub:4503/content/dam//my-image.png
I can see the new image I replaced the old one with
the problem is that pages that were referencing the image, specifically the image component, still shows the old image. I've check flush rules, checked workflows and nothing seems to work
The one thing I noticed is that in pages that are referencing the image the path is like this
/content//_jcr_content/my-component/my-component-parsys/columns/parsyscenter/image.img.jpg/1538602163986.jpg
so it seems the path it is using is like a generated path and not the same path as this one: pub1.mypub:4503/content/dam//my-image.png
im at a complete loss, I honestly do not know what else to check, has anyone ran into this and figured out how to fix it?
this is on aem 6.3
the problem is that in pubs the image being referenced in the component does not update, and since it does not update in pub, it never updates dispatcher
You can try activating the referenced pages after the image has been published. Since the page on publish has reference to the previous image.
I've just added a complication to my watchOS app. I was able to select it on simulator's watch face, but it shows blank items. Temporary all methods of CLKComplicationDataSource return nil. I've created a new assets group for complication, added all required .png images as specified here, setup Complication Group property in Xcode target, but nothing shows up!
What should I do to enable static placeholder images for my complications?
Configuration in Xcode:
The problem was that the .xcassets file with placeholder images must be included into the watch extension bundle, but it was included into the watch app instead. I spend all day trying to figure this out.

I'm following along the Vogel tutorial, and I have (another) problem. I've added a toolbar as described in the tutorial, but no icons appear on the toolbar. The toolbar itself appears, but it is empty. If I click in the empty space where the icon should be, the handler is called as expected. I can add an icon file to my project, and have my HandledToolItem point to it, and in that case the icon is visible, and operates as expected.
Should I expect default icons to appear automatically? Do I have to import or include standard Eclipse icons somehow? Or do I have to add each icon manually (I rather doubt this is the case.)
Thanks, gary
You can add Icons via the platform-notation, e.g. platform:/plugin/de.myplugin.ui/icons/icon.gif.
Using this way, you can also access eclipse-build-in-icons.
See this blogpost: http://codeandme.blogspot.co.at/2012/07/reusing-platform-images.html for a plugin to browse the available plugins.
I think this should be a relatively easy one to answer, I hope, but is proving to be a bit of a stress!
I have used an Icon on an old application developed some years ago and I would now like to use the icon for a current project.. however..
I added the icon using the upload/import icon-image in the properties window, and did not add it in the project resources file, nor specify its location anywhere in my code, using only the icon tool in the properties window.
Now wanting to find the icon image file to use again, I cannot find it anywhere! I have trawled through all the project files looking for the image file or a ref to its location, but have found nothing; except for:
this.Icon = ((System.Drawing.Icon)(resources.GetObject("$this.Icon")));
When running the application the icon is still clearly visible in the applications taskbar tile.
Does anyone know where the icon file is stored / how I can retrieve it?
Thank you in advance.
It is stored in "{Your_project_name}.{Form_name}.resources" file. Search inside the "obj" folder which is in your project folder.
Now open the command prompt of Visual Studio. We will convert this ".resources" file into a ".resx" file. We use "resgen" command here.
resgen foo.resources bar.resx
The .resx can then be added to a C# project. You can find your icon file there.
I am trying to chance the icon of the exe file created native bundling of javafx packaging but it still contains the default icon. Please suggest
primaryStage.getIcons().add(FileUtility.loadImage("icon.png"));
did not help, it only changes the title bar and task bar icon.
The ico file still gets generated and icon of the exe files remains the default one
I also tried to assign an icon in the project properties-> Deployment-> icon but did not help
I believe I have encountered the same issue and the solution is described in the following thread.
As a side note - neither specifying your icon in the build.xml file or via the project's options in the deployment section is going to work thus far, but it seems to be fixed in the upcoming release of 7u10.
I added response here How to set custom icon for javafx native package icon on Windows and thinks it is the same issue you started out with. However you seem to have moved on, but others might find it interesting...
I added src/main/deploy/package/windows/myapp.ico there and it finally worked :)
For you:
Create src/main/deploy/package/windows/ folder
Add icon with name ${project.build.finalName}.ico
Run mvn jfx:build-native
I haven't played with it extensively - just got it to work and wanted to share. So if you want to use icon with different name, I don't know how. Not yet at least. The ... section in the config section seems to be for webstart, so I haven't been using it. Hope you get it to work!
