Thank you for posting this tutorial. It's quite well explained and therefore easy to make. But, the ball doesn't bounce when it hit's the platform. Is it supposed to behave that way, or I did something wrong?

Can I run this in the studio emulator before running on my mobile? I am seeing some issues in making the project which are related to finding the image files in drawable.
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'.
>/Users/raheel/AndroidStudioProjects/Pinball/app/src/main/res/drawable/FOCOTDLIM0VQGUF.MEDIUM.jpg: Error: 'F' is not a valid file-based resource name character: File-based resource names must contain only lowercase a-z, 0-9, or underscore.

Hi,
How can we get this app to run on the emulator without using an Android device?
Thanks

Also, I have two images less than what you have shown on the screenshot. I have only one image for settings button, no image for play button. Seems image names and types (png or jpeg) is the issue in rendering xml resources, isn't it?
