It works fine for me on jqt on android (not jandroid) I've updated the wiki article with android screenshots.
I executed it by: 1. Copying the code from the wiki article using chrome on android 2. Opening jqt on android and using the Run->Clipboard menu http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/File:Android-layout.png http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/File:Android-layout-landscape.png sidebar: on jandroid I am trying to load from a file (since run from clipboard is not available) and receive this error: |pc : pc requires a new activity : wd | (LF,~wd :: (''"_)'qer') (13!:8) On Wed, Oct 28, 2015 at 5:29 AM, Björn Helgason <[email protected]> wrote: > looks like this: > > idUI =: 0 addUI =: 3 : 0 if. 2=(#y) do.
