Is it possible dynamically (according to user selected language on mobile device) to change splash screen when application starts (if user’s selected language is EN – show English splash screen, if FR – show French splash screen?
(Its a project, which is about to wrap web app into hybrid app using MobileFirst Platform.)
Thank you !
Looks like the answer is Yes, since in MobileFirst Platform the Hybrid application still generates a native project, so any native solution applies as well.
See these existing solutions:
Android: Change splash screen based on language
IOS: launch image multiple language

I am developing an app for Android TV it is a screensaver app and I just loading a URL in WebView I have used DayDream Service for this purpose everything is fine, I just want to know that how can I make my layout to support 4K resolution, because when I load [http://howbigismybrowser.com/] it shows 960*500 every time no what configuration I am using. I have seen google official doc on the link
[https://developer.android.com/training/multiscreen/screensizes]
also, I have seen this link and implemented the same link
I have tried by making folder configurations like
layout-sw320dp
layout-sw600dp
layout-sw720dp
[Which resource qualifier should I use to support 1080p, 720p android TV? - Android
I made subfolder in res\folder to support different screen size but am getting same result Like this
Could anyone please help me how can I target a full 4K resolution because right now my Webview looks blurry on 4K TV
I don't believe that it's possible to target a 4K resolution with your UI components natively. According to the Android 6.0 release notes around the 4K display mode:
While in 4K display mode, the UI continues to be rendered at the original resolution (such as 1080p) and is upscaled to 4K, but SurfaceView objects may show content at the native resolution.
I might be mistaken, but I believe the intention here is to allow developers to build their UI for a standard 1080p resolution without having to account for 4K, but this still allows native 4K video as that would be rendered to the SurfaceView.
I am using 24x24 pixels icons in my xamarin forms UWP project, but not getting good clarity when it comes in UI. For Android, I am using 4 set of icons for different devices and 3 set for IOS. How many sets of icons are needed for UWP and what is the resolution for those icons?

Every app has an icon/logo that represents it, and that icon appears in multiple locations in the Windows shell:
The title bar of your app window
The app list in the start menu
The taskbar and task manager
Your app's tiles
Your app's splash screen
In the Microsoft Store
We have detailed article that specifically for icons that represent the app itself. please check this link and use the suitable size icon.
I recently received a real headache problem for UWP apps.
Basically I would like to change the main Icon of my app depending on an action.
Let's say I would like to change the App Icon if a certain user logs into my app so that he does not see default App Icon after closing the app.
I found different links which refer to work on tiles, which works perfectly fine. But I did not come up with a solution to change the App's Icon.
Is there a way like in iOS to use AlternateIcons or in Android to just call an Alias?
Tiles are technically the icons in the UWP world. You can update the live tiles as you desire with notifications and they can provide richer visual surface than classic icons.
For the App List and Taskbar icons however, those are just static and you cannot change them at runtime. They come from the Package.appxmanifest Visual Assets section, so you have to define them ahead of time.
You however use Badge notifications to display simple info next to the app icon in the Task bar as well as on the main app tile.
When we receive Push Notifications in BB10 webworks application i am getting splat icon on MY Application home screen icon but How to set IconBadge with number of unread messages.
WebWorks used to have a blackberry.app.setHomeScreenIcon method, however it was for the older BlackBerry OS 5.0+ platform, not BB10:
https://developer.blackberry.com/html5/apis/gold/blackberry.app.html#.setHomeScreenIcon
Developers used to customize the icon at runtime (e.g. switch the default home-screen icon to one with a splat + number in the top right).
Unfortunately, the capability for an app to change its home screen icon is not available in BlackBerry 10. Nor is there an API to display a custom splat with a number superimposed on it.
just a quick question, i know this is usually done on a website but is it okay to add icon credits in the "about" screen of a mobile Application espercially for paid Apps like in Iphone or android. Has anybody seen this being done?. just wondering if it sounds professional. Thank you.
Yes, your icons are probably licenced under LGPL or Creative Commons and this is exactly what these licences suggest for putting the credits.
Most places that require you to "credit" them if you use their IP don't specify the place in your app that this credit should show up. Normally in desktop apps, the about page is a reliable place to find these credits. I believe the about page in a mobile app is also a reliable place. So unless the icons you have to credit specify the manner in which you need to credit them, this seems ok.
Apple recommends you don't use the loading screen as an about or splash screen:
Supply a launch image to improve user
experience; avoid using it as an
opportunity to provide:
An “application entry experience,”
such as a splash screen
An About window
Branding elements, unless they
are a static part of your
application’s first screen
(my emphasis)
I suggest you keep such icons and references to components on the developer web page about the product, rather than in the application itself.
