Re: Splash-stack apps on Google Play

Hi Jacque, If your app is for a specific client/company do you put it on the Play Store still? Or is it an app for a company who wants to sell it? - Lagi On 20 May 2018 at 21:06, J. Landman Gay via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Has anyone released an Android app on Goog

Re: Splash-stack apps on Google Play

My client sells supplies to hospitals and the mobile app is part of a tracking system. We have been distributing the app from a web site but some users don't trust that and others don't understand why they need to enable "unknown sources" in prefs. It would be easier to distribute through the o

Re: Splash-stack apps on Google Play

Would you need to go full “splash stack”? Could you have a “supplemental data” stack that is checked for/updated on launch and has data inside it to update any objects that need to be adjusted? On Mon, May 21, 2018 at 10:52 AM J. Landman Gay via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote:

Re: Splash-stack apps on Google Play

At the time Mark thought there might be some LCB tweaks LiveCode might make to keep Google happy, but after the Google guys looked at a number of LiveCode apps, they concluded that they don’t seem to violate the new policy. Well, it was new 11 months ago when this came up last time!

Re: Splash-stack apps on Google Play

That's great! Thanks for posting that Colin, I'm going to take the chance. I didn't know things had proceeded that far. Do you have any more details about the decision so we can avoid potential conflicts? How is the determination about noncompliance made? -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@h

Copying Text from Field In HTML5 app?

HI All, I have a little HTML5 project that creates some text data in a card field. I would like to let my user copy the text created in this field out the HTML5 app so that they can paste it into a spreadsheet in order to manipulate it. Can this be done using an HTML5 app? Thank you! John Patt

LC & Java

Hi folks, For whatever reason I really hate Java..;) and I've been avoiding it like the plaque. I would like to get over this because I will need it going forward to maximize my use of LC, Widgets & Browser content. Can anyone point me to a way that i can learn about how LC works with Java?

Re: LC & Java

The LiveCode cheat sheet for JavaScript is probably a good thing to look at. That will show some of the common syntax elements. On Mon, May 21, 2018 at 6:25 PM Tom Glod via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > I totally meant JavaScript > > On Mon, May 21, 2018 at 6:31 PM, Richar

how to clear residual garbage in a stack?

I am constructing a large stack as a test for a bug report (to report the slow saving of large stacks for a standalone Windows 10 app under LC 8.x). I start with a stack with a single card which saves as a 28 KB file. I then use a script to create 299 copies of card 1. The resulting stack saves

Re: Splash-stack apps on Google Play

@Mark, thanks so much for your post, it helps. When you get a chance it would be great to get more detail about how to set up the RSA keys. I'm sure I won't be the only person here who needs this, so you'll be helping everyone. I think I can find out how to generate the keys, but I'm not quite

Re: Splash-stack apps on Google Play

The dictionary entries that you want are "encrypt using rsa", "decrypt using rsa", and "messageDigest'. High level process... - Generate a public/private key pair - Package the file that you want to ensure is not tampered with - Generate a hash of the file (messageDigest) - Encrypt the hash with y

Re: Livecode and Google Analytics?

Hi Have you tried to include in your app a browser object that would load web pages with the necessary GA js script ? I know it's a brute-force strategy and that it would probably slow down the app a bit, but I don't have any better solution so far... Best, jbv On Tue, May 22, 2018 4:03 am, Jose

Re: how to clear residual garbage in a stack?

Does your card contain a group with its backgroundBehavior set to true? If so, and if the cards are created with copy and paste, I believe you may find a large number of unplaced groups in the stack. In the IDE menus see Object -> Place Group If that submenu is long, you've found your culprit
