Hi, is there a way to set the grid loading image?

I found this: GridScreenRetrievingColor but just for the color

Grid_Retrieving_Landscape_HD.jpg
Grid_Retrieving_Landscape_SD43.jpg

open these two files in your favorite graphic editor and make them into whatever you want.

I have tried this too with no effect. Is there another way? I have black background, but the loading image is a flash of gray..

Thanks,
Rob

Re: customize grid loading image

I take the lack of response this is broken and no one is willing to confirm it. These images are included in the sample grid SDK, but do nothing.

Re: customize grid loading image

Had to do some research and testing first:

ifGridScreen.SetLoadingPoster("pkg:/images/myHDPoster.jpg","pkg:/images/mySDPoster.jpg")


This does not work on Legacy (firmware 3.x) devices so:

di=createobject("rodeviceinfo")
if mid(di.getversion(),3,1).toint() > 3 then
screen.setloadingposter("pkg:/images/loadingposterHD.jpg","pkg:/images/loadingposterSD.jpg")
end if

Re: customize grid loading image

Thank you Joel! Tested and it works perfectly so far. I appreciate you including the 3.x check in there. This really improves the look while loading rows.

btw. What even uses the legacy 3.x firmware?

Again, I really appreciate the update! I even see the SDK docs are updated 🙂

Just curious...
I'm assuming you listed that ebay page as an example and not the definitive list.
I've got an N1000 and an N1101 that are both running 3.1 (and the ebay page seems to only show the 2100).

Just guessing, but would it be safe to say 3.1 runs on all the first generation boxes (i.e. the models using the NXP chips and not the models using the Broadcom chips)?
i.e. Models: N1000, N1050, N1100, N1101, 2000, 2050, 2100

Or is there a different criteria and/or a definitive list somewhere?
