Android Keyboard Activation Issue

[Daniel Pierce via use-livecode]

List,
 
I have developed a cross platform mobile app for iOS and Android using
LiveCode and it is working OK, but I continue to get a common complaint from
Android users that when they select a field the keyboard does not activate
like on other apps.   
 
This is not an issue on iOS because a when you create the Native Text Box,
you can send the command mobileControlDo  "focus" and the keyboard is
activated with a single touch to the text entry field.
 
Android doesn't support this capability so the users needs to touch the
field to activate the Native Text Box and then touch it again to bring up
the keyboard.
 
Has anyone found a way to bring up the virtual keyboard when the Native Text
Box has been created
 
Thanks for your advice.
Dan

Any way to declare a global constant? I think I know the answer, but I thought 
I'd ask.


Heh.
There are requests for this in the bug database going back to 2004.

To make matters worse, if you're really diabolical you could declare 
different values for constants in different scripts.


script 1:
constant onePlusOne = 2

script 2:
constant onePlusOne = 3

[OT] KOUSEK (or replacement) code snippet manager replacement?

[Stephen Barncard via use-livecode]

I have been using KOUSEK for years. It (was) a simple, easy to use code
snippet manager I started using about 5 years ago after I couldn't manage
Rev-based manager that dropped out of sight. Now Kousek has irresponsibly
dropped out of sight too, but my snippets remain. The app wants credentials
that I don't have - it was paid for and downloaded from the apple app
store.

The exported data appears to be XML based and logically arranged, but I'd
rather not have to re-create it.

Has anyone else  here used this app and found a replacement? I'd rather not
use GIT if I don't have to. Or perhaps found an app that could convert the
data into tab-delimited data?

thanks for any and all advice.

Setting the Cursor to an image

[William Prothero via use-livecode]

Folks:
I am setting the cursor to a 32x32 image. It works in the standalone app, but 
not in the development system. Is there something wrong with the IDE?

This happens in version 8 and 9 (latest downloads).

I use:

on mouseUp
set the cursor to #—the ID of the image
lock cursor
end mouseUp

What’s up? I’d like to have this work in the IDE.

Best,
Bill

[ANN] Important: reply before friday - conference!

[Mark Schonewille via use-livecode]

International LiveCode Mini Conference

- Time and date are still preliminary!
- Make sure to send a message to me on Friday or earlier if you're 
interested!

- decisions are made over the weekend, depending on feedback!

In the second half of February, an international LiveCode Mini 
Conference has been scheduled. The dates are still to be determined. The 
conference has been planned to take place during the weekends of 18 or 
25 February.


PLEASE NOTE: While the conference is called a "LiveCode" conference, 
anyone with an interest in rapid application development is invited: 
database admins, Filemaker users, Xojo fans, SuperCard aficionados, and 
anyone who is looking for new ways to be creative with computers.


All information is preliminary. As the date of the conference 
approaches, we will have all information available.


The conference will consist of one day with multiple sessions. We're 
planning simultaneous workshops and presentations. We're thinking of 
four times two simultaneous sessions of 30 minutes. Afterwards, there 
will be plenty of opportunity to meet with fellow programmers and 
discuss any topic you like.


The conference will be held in Antwerp, Belgium, to facilitate 
participation by British, French and German people. Obviously, you're 
also invited if you live in a different country.


We're planning to rent a conference room. Therefore, there will be a 
small fee of approximately 35 euro (including VAT, with invoice).  If 
you want to host a workshop or give a presentation, you'll be eligible 
for a discount. Since fees are small, discounts will be small too.


Possible topics:
- Getting started with LiveCode
- Advanced LiveCode scripting
- Widgets
- Arduino and Raspberry Pi
- Usage in real life (home and business)
- DBMS (MySQL, PostGreSQL, XML, others)
- FileMaker
- SuperCard
- HyperStudio
- Xojo
- PHP
- other subjects

You might want to spend one or two nights in a hotel. We'll be happy to 
help you find board and lodgings. The hotel room, drinks, food and other 
expenses will be on your own account.


We would like to know how many people are interested. Please, send a 
reply to support (at) economy-x-talk.com before Friday 13th if you're 
interested. This weekend, all decisions will be made final.


This might be the only edition of this conference! Grab the opportunity 
and make sure you're there! It is going to be special for sure!

Re: Help: Odd menu behavior under LC6.7.11 on OSX

[Curry Kenworthy via use-livecode]

Richmond:
> Well, the first question anyone is going to ask is why
> on earth you are using 6.7.11?

Don't forget to use "OMG/LOL/derisno/perv" as in for example: "OMG, why 
are you using 6.7, are you a total perv? Derisno past! LOL." :)


There is a history to every product, and not only do we learn a lot by 
comparing past to present, but the latest version of LC that people take 
for granted owes a lot of fixes and some features to Paul in particular 
due to his meticulous work and testing, providing a huge benefit to the 
entire community!


It's wonderful to keep up with recent LC releases, especially where 
Apple is concerned, but sometimes circumstances and LC bugs/features can 
affect the speed of that process. Then you have people who grab the 
latest DP, precisely because it is the very latest thing, and get 
confused trying to tell the difference between their own bugs and DP 
bugs. I help people with that often enough to know that a chorus of 
"just grab the latest" is advice that needs clarification.


Paul:
> We are seeing a weird menu rendering issues under OSX

I believe this menu issue is also a current bug in LC 8.1.2! Haven't 
tried it yet in LC 9, but I will soon. LC 6.6 was okay, so it must have 
been introduced in 6.7 and remained until now.


Craig:

Change for the sake of change keeps some people incredibly happy, others 
less so! The new interface does take some getting used to, and the old 
interface definitely had its strengths too, as I've realized lately with 
certain particular tasks and with teaching others. Much to learn from 
comparing and critiquing LC versions, enjoying the very latest as well 
as some past specimens!

They didn’t say…. here’s a quotation from their response to me:

”An issue was detected with the apps and we have made the necessary 
corrections."

I’m pretty darn sure I did all the right things… so, something on their end, I 
guess.

Apple really has gotten faster and the review process… this one for me only

[OT] Download Request

[Randy Hengst via use-livecode]

Hi All,

I successfully had three iOS apps approved for sale by Apple on Jan 8th. So far 
they have not shown up on the Apple App Store… when I check on them via iTunes 
Connect all things seem to be in order, but when I click on “Show in iTunes” it 
says the app isn’t available  in the U.S. store… and, well, I’m in the U.S….

Is anyone outside of the U.S willing to check for me to see if you can download 
the app? It’s iPad only and  call “Number Tile Fill Up” … it’s free.

I have contacted iTunes “help” but thought I’d see if I could gather a bit of 
data before they respond.

Thanks in advance for your help.

be well,
randy

Re: Array Properties in a Standalone

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

 

I was a few beers in when I wrote this. Upon thinking about this, what is 
actually happening is that every stack becomes it's own mainstack in a 
standalone. I think what I will do then is declare a constant with the name of 
what I am calling the mainstack when I first launch it. Then I can simply refer 
to that. In fact I'm going to call it the homestack instead. You are right 
Jacque it shouldn't take much to refactor all this.
