Logging Device Tokens
Question: How are you saving Device Tokens? I am working on adding Push Notifications to my app. I am able to create, send and receive the push notification (as a test) without issue. However, I can see that I am going to have to store the Device Tokens of all that use my app – thousands, potentially millions of them! This seems crazy! And, you may have to store more about the user's settings (or app preferences) if the app will send a notice to some users and not others. Am I misunderstanding something? Is there something in place to deal with this? Or, am I to write my own mechanism that will log and store all users and their Device Token to some server. Presumably when the app receives the pushNotificationRegistered message. Before I do this all wrong, I thought I would pose the question here and see if anyone has any advise.

Re: ANN: GLX2 3.0.10
Hi Mark, Look, for example, the contents of an element of the Undo Array. The Undo Array contains a xml description of all controls placed in a single card: The Unique Key for each control is the AltID of the control, that is set at the moment of its creation. So, always there is only one control with such AltID. You could ask: Why not use the ID of the control that always would be unique? Because, when you delete a control, its ID is gone too and if we need to recreate the control in the card, it would be necessary to create new controls that will have a new ID. The new option that allows to create a control with a previous ID is only available in more recent versions of Livecode, and I want that the stack works fine in all previous versions of this platform. If it is run in early versions, then antialiased graphics and gradients would not be available, but the core and basic functionality will work fine.

Actually, only the first 128 characters are reliably consistent. The upper 128 characters vary between DOS (Code Page 437) and standard encoding ISO-8859-1 (which, in turn, is slightly different from Windows CP 1252).

Re: Dos Ascii to Windows Ansi or Mac Roman
I have just one a little reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_ASCII and from this it is clear that it would be expecting too much for Livecode to convert this sort of stuff. What you DO NEED is the number (somewhere between 129 and 256 in extended ASCII) for U umlaut (upper case) and u umlaut (lower case). And then the numbers of the characters in WINDOWS ANSI and MAC ROMAN: In MS DOS ASCII LATIN US - u umlaut is char 252 and U umlaut is char 220. In WINDOWS 1252 Western ANSI - u umlaut is char 252 and U umlaut is char 220. In Mac Roman - u umlaut is char 252 and U umlaut is 220. So your question is redundant, and you don't have to worry about these characters at all Tested with Fontforge and a standard font.

Re: Dos Ascii to Windows Ansi or Mac Roman
Quite right. Characters above 128 are not going to match. And one would question some of the control characters; they have images in Windows Ansi code pages. ASCII is a special case of UTF8, so the uniEncode and uniDecode functions might be worth exploring. You can consider ASCII to be UTF-8 because ASCII is 7 bit and bytes for all Unicode in UTF-8 that are outside of ASCII have the msb set. However, the only applicable character set in the list is Ansi and who knows what that really means. It might mean the host character set either Mac or some Windows code page. Long ago I created a rash of Unicode bug entries and I think I had converters then, so they must not be too hard to create. If you are looking at LF, CR, Tab, space, and printables (character coded 33 to 126) then they are the same in almost all applicable character sets. But as soon as you type a dingbat on your Mac, you have more work. (By CR I mean the ASCII CR, not the newline used in LiveCode which is LF.)

Re: Dos Ascii to Windows Ansi or Mac Roman
It just dawned on my what I wrote in the last paragraph. Those are the only characters in common in all three character sets, so conversion is free if you don't need weird control characters. Unless you don't really mean ASCII, but mean some DOS code page. (In Europe ASCII is called USASCII, which I consider to be disrespecting the work some Americans did in computers, communications and early character-set standardization, but it is in standards that way, so I'm fighting a losing battle if I complain. To us old-timers, ASCII is fundamental. I prefer to honor that history and put qualifiers on all enhancements and variations. Even 35 years ago I got onto Bill about his careless speech about character sets. Character sets have been a mess. I think Unicode is wonderful. Well, even Microsoft can mess that up.) Dar On Aug 6, 2012, at 1:57 PM, Dar Scott wrote: Quite right. Characters above 128 are not going to match. And one would question some of the control characters; they have images in Windows Ansi code pages. ASCII is a special case of UTF8, so the uniEncode and uniDecode functions might be worth exploring. You can consider ASCII to be UTF-8 because ASCII is 7 bit and bytes for all Unicode in UTF-8 that are outside of ASCII have the msb set. However, the only applicable character set in the list is Ansi and who knows what that really means. It might mean the host character set either Mac or some Windows code page. Long ago I created a rash of Unicode bug entries and I think I had converters then, so they must not be too hard to create. If you are looking at LF, CR, Tab, space, and printables (character coded 33 to 126) then they are the same in almost all applicable character sets. But as soon as you type a dingbat on your Mac, you have more work. (By CR I mean the ASCII CR, not the newline used in LiveCode which is LF.)

The upper 128 characters vary between DOS (Code Page 437) and standard encoding ISO-8859-1 (which, in turn, is slightly different from Windows CP 1252). The only built-in functions in LC are the MacToISO and ISOtoMac functions, so that won't help you here. You'll have to write your own function to replace upper-ascii characters. There is a handy comparison of the various common ascii character sets at http://www.alanwood.net/demos/charsetdiffs.html. Wikipedia entries for the various encodings can also be helpful, as they have complete character charts.

Re: Logging Device Tokens
Nope, you aren't crazy.

You also need to check with APNS to make sure that user x is still on the push list, since they can manually disable push in the Notifications preferences, which you are then expected to respect (read the notes from Apple on this).

Hilite pattern in list field doesn't scroll correctly
I have a carefully sized gradient image that I use as a custom hilite pattern in a list field. It is exactly the height of the textheight. When the field is not scrolled it lines up perfectly with any selected line of the field. But if the scrollbar is dragged and stopped in between even lineheight increments, the pattern tiles in a very ugly way. It looks like the engine is just tiling the pattern all the way down the field and whatever line is currently selected just makes that area of the tiled image show through. I don't really want to mess with creating a patterned button to lay over the field as a fake selection rectangle. Does anyone know of a trick to prevent the inaccurate pattern when the field isn't scrolled to an even increment? I suppose another option is to script the field to snap to the next lineheight increment but if there's a better trick I'd prefer it. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: FormattedHeight Limit!
Rick, Don't change the height of the field to match it's contents, set it to the display size. For example, if your field is to *display* on the entire screen, then do this: set the rect of fld ViewingField5 to the rect of this card Then, fill it with the data. Next, set the iOS scroller's contentRect to (the formattedRect of field ViewingField5). Finally, in your scrollerDidScroll message, don't set the scroll of the group containing field ViewingField5, simply set the scroll of field ViewingField5. Make sense?

Hope that helps! -Dan Hi there, I discovered that if I'm using large text in my scrolling field of size 24, and I have 1043 lines in my field, that the Height of my field using FormattedHeight equals 33,390 which apparently goes beyond a limit of 32,768 and causes an unreported error in the iOS Simulator. I really want to use my larger font size, and I don't want to cut down on the number of lines in my field. Any work arounds for this?

Re: Need beta testers for new database library
It's a small lib that simplifies the communication with a sqlLite database, using a small set of commands. Very logical and straightforward.
