Backdrop in in 6.7.0 dp2 under Lubuntu Linux 13.10

[Alejandro Tejada]

Read this report:
http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11603
Backdrop is not displayed on Linux

LiveCode 6.7.0 dp2, displays a black backdrop under
Lubuntu Linux 13.10.

but LiveCode turns very unstable while displaying
this backdrop...

After turning off this backdrop, LiveCode works fine.
Could you please test this in your own Linux version?

Thanks in advance!

Al

Re: Record and Play sound at same time IOS

[Stephen MacLean]

Look to another of Monte's externals, mergAV.

Specifically, you can set the AVsession to "play and record", which would allow 
that. The player you can create is also very powerful.

Take a look at the commands for the external, down near the bottom of the page.

Best,

Steve MacLean

Re: Changes in LiveCode Image Quality - A comparison

[Alejandro Tejada]

Just added bug report 12307:

http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12307

Included this stack that shows a comparison between 
image qualities in different LiveCode versions: 
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3834621/LiveCode_Image_Quality_comparison.livecode


Normal Image Quality looks the same as Good Image Quality

1- Download the sample stack 

2- Open the sample stack in LiveCode 7.0 dp2

3- Compare image quality of 7.0 dp2 vs 6.5 series.

After LiveCode 6.6, image quality "normal" and "good" 
looks exactly alike. Not so in previous versions. 

This was bring to my attention by Kenji Kojima 
who, on March 18 2014, wrote in the mail list: 

>Please restore box filtering. 
>It was very useful for making a mosaic image. 
>I loved 6.5 of poor quality image too.

Mr. Kojima use normal quality images in his
multimedia project.

In another thread, he wrote:
>This is a technical note I have developed.

>The project "Split/Merge AudioVisual" is here.

This requested change would be just a regression
to a former state.

Have a nice weekend!

Record and Play sound at same time IOS

[Nakia Brewer]

Hi,

As a novelty I am trying to make a livecode IOS Speech Jammer App.

For those that aren't aware this basically works by playing back you voice 
slightly delayed and it messes with your brain and you can't speak.

Check this guy out for a laugh.

http://youtu.be/oU9EGeMP5n4

Anyway,
Using montes mergMicrophone I have been able to get mostly there but have hit a 
stumble with playing back the file that is being recorded at the same time it's 
being recorded.

I am using iphonePlaySoundOnChannel to play back the file but it looks like it 
only evaluates the file when it starts cashing it to not continue playing..

Anyone got any ideas on how to maybe get around this ?

Re: MS SQL

[Matthias Rebbe | M-R-D]

Hi Rodney,

i am using the Actualtech ODBC driver with Microsoft SQL server without 
problems.
Just to be sure that there are no problems with newer versions of LC i did a 
quick test right now with one of my projects  with LC 6.7.0DP2, Actualtech ODBC 
driver version 3.2.3 and MS SQL Server 2005 and 2008.
My select query is about 70 lines contains several case statements with  
several replace statements and several joins. All is working as expected even 
over VPN.

Regards,

Matthias

All these simulations works fine on Windows! :)

Many fine examples of interactive demostrations.

I will figure out how to recreate some of them
in LiveCode (as an exercise in programming).

Have a nice weekend!

Yes, but I use it with SQLite and Postgres (and used it briefly with mySQL).

But I'm old enough that I'd never consider using an MS database.

Re: Strange!

[Dan Friedman]

Chris,

Thank you for the reply and advice.  I have been popping answer dialogs all 
morning.  I still have no clue.  I tried putting your code snippet in the stack 
and card scripts, but nothing was trapped.

At this point, I have commented out everything in the card script except 
openStack and preOpenStack.  So, I have the IDENTICAL card script in two cards. 
 Card A works fine, card B fails.  I can't figure it out!  They do have 
different controls... Is it possible that a control on the card could cause a 
problem?  even though the control isn't being accessed?

Wait a second

Ok, found the problem.  I have an image on the card that is (was) failing that 
I use to hold an image temporarily.  I set the fileName of that image to empty, 
and now it works.  Obviously, LiveCode crapped out when it tried to load the 
image on the card.  Even though I never accessed the image in code, and the 
image is invisible, LiveCode didn't like the url set in the fileName of the 
image.  I should probability report the issue - LC should bail and should 
probably report some type of error/warning.

Thanks for the help!  In describing the problem to you, I began to think about 
the controls, which led me to the answer.

Re: Strange!

[Chris Sheffield]

Dan,

Sounds like some debugging is in order which, as I’m sure you know, can be a 
little tricky for iOS apps. I would recommend using put statements and/or 
answer dialogs to try and narrow down where the problem lies. Since preOpenCard 
fires but openCard does not, my guess is you’ve got an error occurring at some 
point during preOpenCard, and it’s basically stopping the app in its tracks.

A handy little script I picked up along the way allows you to easily see when 
runtime errors occur in any app, but I find it especially useful for mobile 
apps when testing in the simulator or on a device. I got this from Jacque 
Landman-Gay, who I believe originally got it from Andre Garzia.


constant kDebug = "answer"

on log pMsg 
switch kDebug
case "msg"
put pMsg & cr
break
case "file"
put pMsg & cr after url ("file:" && the effective filename of this 
stack & ".log")
break
case "answer" -- jlg: added
answer pMsg titled the short name of this card
break
end switch
end log

on errorDialog pErr -- catches and reports system errors
log pErr
end errorDialog


Place this in your stack script. Then set the kDebug constant to whichever 
debug method you prefer. If there’s an error somewhere in preOpenCard, this 
should catch it and help you get started with figuring out the problem

Good luck!

Chris

Re: LiveCode 7 codepoint question

[Dar Scott]

So maybe you can be safe in assuming codepoint = char in Japanese?  

I’m just guessing there might be an advantage to using codepoint or even 
codeunit for long documents depending on how the speed of dp3 looks.

Re: LiveCode 7 codepoint question

[Kenji Kojima]

Dar,

I understood your script well. Thank you. 
But I was wondering why we needed these Japanese characters. 
We do not use these combined characters. 

We use them in Japanese writing
numToCodepoint( 0x30C8 )   — this is ト
numToCodepoint( 0x30C9 )   — this is ド
the num of codepoints of “ド”   — returns 1

But we do not use this character, and I do not know how I can type. I have to 
use LiveCode.
numToCodepoint( 0x30C8 ) & numToCodepoint( 0x3099 )   — this is ド 
the num of codepoints of “ド”— returns 2

I found the answer. 

1) About 150 years ago. Many foreign words came into Japan. 
Japanese did not have phonetic characters RA or LA then
some people started to write “ラ” as “RA” and “ラ゚” as “LA”
numToCodepoint( 0x30E9 )— this is ラ
numToCodepoint( 0x30E9 ) & numToCodepoint( 0x309A)   — this is 
ラ゚   
But Japanese do not write differences between them anymore. Now only 
“ラ” is used. 
Contemporary Japanese do not care RA or LA. 

2) イ゚ ロ゚ ニ゚ ト゚ チ゚ リ゚ ヌ゚ ル゚ ヲ゚ ワ゚ カ゚ ヨ゚ タ゚ レ゚ ソ゚ ツ゚  and more characters. 
They were used for a telegram code. Probably before the war. 
They are not used now. 

Maybe there were some more other old usages.

Re: HTML browser and mobile.

[Pierre Sahores]

Hi Ralph,

The way it works can be really simple (other ways available but this one fills 
perfectly my needs…) :

1.- the html/js side :

page1.html need to include some javascript :

simple iOS/Android working example :

>   
>   var priogesture = 1, start_x = 0, stop_x = 0, start_y = 0, 
> stop_y = 0;
>   function $(id) { return document.getElementById(id); }
>   $("swipe-wrap").addEventListener ("touchstart", function 
> (event) { 
>   start_x = event.touches[0].screenX; start_y = 
> event.touches[0].screenY; priogesture = 0;
>   });
>   $("swipe-wrap").addEventListener ("touchmove", function (event) 
> {
>   stop_x = event.touches[0].screenX; stop_y = 
> event.touches[0].screenY;
>   if ((priogesture == 0) && (stop_x != 0) && 
> (Math.abs(stop_x - start_x) > Math.abs(stop_y - start_y))) { 
>   if (start_x < stop_x) {
>   
> document.location.href="file:/data/data/com.pierresahores.alainweiz/cache/prev.html";
>   } else if (start_x > stop_x) {

> document.location.href="file:/data/data/com.pierresahores.alainweiz/cache/next.html";
>   }
>   }
>   });
>   


a.- able to handle the touch messages it receive from your mobile app users;
b.- and initiate a new pageN.html load;

2.- the livecode scripting side :

> on browserLoadRequested pUrl, pType
>if the platform is "iPhone" then
>   if "/cache/prev.html" is in pURL then 

your iOS dedicated LC code comes there

> on browserStartedLoading pUrl
>if "/cache/prev.html" is in pURL and the platform is "android" then

your Android dedicated LC code comes there

Best,

Pierre

Strange!

[Dan Friedman]

I have an mobile project that I've been working on for some time now.  It's 
already in the app store (and google play) and it's been running fine.  I 
opened the stack this morning to make some updates, and I find that I have one 
card that is no longer passing messages.  preOpenCard get's fired, but openCard 
is not?  Other cards in the same stack work fine.  I don't have lock messages 
on, or anything else I can think of that would cause this.

The card works fine in LiveCode, but fails in the simulator and on a real 
device.

LC 6.5.2 and 6.6.1
XCode 5.1.1

There must be some property or something that got set that I can't think of.  I 
have stepped through the code and I can't find anything.   I even created a new 
card, and copied the objects and script to the new card, but got the same 
result.

Any ideas?

HTML browser and mobile.

[Ralph DiMola]

How would one do a call back to LC from within a mobile web page? Is this even 
possible on mobile? I have a html local page with a map image. I would like to 
call an LC procedure with a parameter when the user presses within a specific 
county on the page.

Re: Really basic SQLite questions

[Mike Kerner]

Bob, I agree that in general, when dealing with a server, you are exactly
right on what you should be doing.  Since SQLite is a local file-store DB,
it's a little different.  it isn't designed for transaction loads,
multi-users, etc.  it doesn't even support all the datatypes - for
instance, yes, you can define a boolean, but it isn't a boolean.

database servers require an entirely different class of developer, imho,
otherwise all sorts of evil things will happen.

 Hi Scott
 
 I have done something similar in php before, where a page loads, and
 then
 the file starts downloading a few seconds later, without leaving the
 main
 page.
 
 The main page contains a refresh tag that loads the script that starts
 the
 download:
 
 
 
 and then the sendfile.php consists of:
 
 >>> header('Content-type: application/pdf');
 header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' .
 basename('filename.pdf') . '"');
 header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
 readfile($filename);
 ?>
 
 Hope this helps.

RTL-field now donationware

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi,

Over the past 20 years, I made several right-to-left language solutions. 
With LiveCode 7 around the corner, it seems that these solution are no 
longer necessary. Therefore, I'm releasing the tool as donationware. 
More info available at http://qery.us/4b4

Mark

Re: Delivering Files with lcServer ?

[Scott Rossi]

Thanks Peter:

Same issue here: having the lcserver download code as part of the same
page that contains the form continues to write the raw ZIP file code to
the browser.  Maybe the sequencing of code blocks is the problem, I don't
know.

That saidŠ  trying your previous suggestion worked for me.  Here's what I
did:

1) All HTML code in its own file, called "page.txt" :


   
  
  
  GET FILE
  
   



2) All lcserver code on an index page, called index.lc" :

 0 then
   put header "Content-type: application/zip"
   put header "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=file.zip"
   put header "Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"
   put url "binfile:files/file.zip" into theFile
   put theFile
else
   put header "Content-Type: text/html"
   put url ("file:page.txt")
end if
?>


Now I can press the GET FILE button repeatedly and the download commences.

I imagine there must be some way to combine all this stuff onto one page
and force it to work, but for now, after many hours and 3 people trying to
crack this, having a working option is joy.

 Hi Peter:
 
 I started setting up a test page to demonstrate, and now I can't get
 anything to work, not even my single page test which worked a dozen
 times
 yesterday.  [sigh] Not sure what changed.
 
 At any rate, I've seen PHP examples that involve setting content
headers
 to facilitate a file transfer, so I figured since lcserver operates
 similarly, it should be possible to initiate the download of a zipped
 file
 (or any file).
 
 Any examples out there that someone can point me to?

Yes 6.6.2 rc1 works.

6.7 dp2 does not, and 7.0.0 dp2 does not.

Yes, that looks right,

I think that:

header("Content-Description: file Transfer");

Is the interesting part. IIRC that should prompt the browser to
recognise that this is a file download.

Then you just have an href= to the script that handles the download, in
the usual way, and when the link is clicked, the browser should
recognise the intent by inspection of the headers, and by default should
not attempt to change the page location.

Your download scipt might want to explicitly change the location in the
case of an error or something, however.

Re: Delivering Files with lcServer ?

[Peter W A Wood]

Hi Scott

I suspect the problem with this approach is that the browser will end up 
sending two sets of headers. The first will be generated automatically by the 
Browser, the second set from you LiveCode.

You could get around this by adopting a "no html" approach like this:

 0 then
put header "Content-type: application/zip"
put header "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=sound.zip"
put header "Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"
put url "binfile:files/sound.zip" into theFile
put theFile
  else
put header "Content-Type: text/html"
  put ""
 put ""
put "Your Page"
put ""
put ""
# put (all your html)
put ""
put ""
?>

Regards

Peter

Re: Delivering Files with lcServer ?

[Peter W A Wood]

Hi Scott

With a little help from Google, I have managed to put together this example of 
serving a file from LiveCode Server:

This is the html file from which you can request the download:


click here


and here is the LiveCode server page (webtest.lc)



The biggest problem that I had was getting LiveCode to download a working zip 
file until I added the "binary" to put. (I read to do that in the release notes 
for LiveCode Server 4.6.3, thanks to Google).

Hope this helps.

Regards

Peter

Re: Delivering Files with lcServer ?

[Scott Rossi]

Hi Simon:

Well, you helped me figure out a bit more.  Your script works, but not in
the arrangement I'm using (maybe I need to rethink).

I think my problem is I'm trying to trigger the download by reloading the
same page.  I have the lcserver code near the top of the page (note I
simplified your code):

 0 then
  put header "Content-type: application/zip"
  put header "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=sound.zip"
  put header "Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"
  put url "binfile:files/sound.zip" into theFile
  put theFile
   end if
?>


Then there'a simple form on the page:



   
   GET FILE




If I place only (the modified version of) your code on a simple page and
load it in a browser, it downloads the ZIP as expected.  When I run all of
the above on a page and press the submit button, the raw code of the ZIP
gets written to browser window (Chrome OS X).


So maybe I need to figure out another way of loading a page that contains
the download code.  I've tried using redirects and get the same problem --
raw code in the browser.  I don't get what the difference is between
loading a URL via the browser's address field, and "put"-ting a URL via
lcserver.

Thanks & Regards,

Re: Delivering Files with lcServer ?

[Björnke von Gierke]

I think most websites set the target to a new website in the link, to avoid 
having stuff randomly load within iframes. so i suggest to just make the link 
have a target of _blank or maybe _top. Then put the .lc code into its own 
independent file.

Also make sure to set the "content-transfer-encoding" to "binary" in addition 
to the "content-type" to "application/zip" (I don't think your'e allowed to 
define several "content-types" in one definition, and it might choose one of 
them at random, or just the last specified one).

cheers
Björnke
