Re: PDF Viewer widget - how to enable interaction?

[Monte Goulding via use-livecode]

Hi Keith

I think you want the `linkClicked` message. Navigation via links is under 
script control so possibly what you want is:

on linkClicked pAction
   if pAction[“type”] is “goto” then
   set the currentDestination of me to pAction
   end if
end linkClicked

Re: Ghost in the Machine?

[Dan Brown via use-livecode]

If it's a simple html form then you could POST the form data to the server
directly from within livecode. There is a short guide for doing so here
https://livecode.byu.edu/internet/aboutForms.php and here
https://livecode.byu.edu/internet/postMethodSteps.php

  put urlEncode(fld "fullname") into tName
  put the hilitedButtonName of group "genderGrp" into tGndr
  put urlEncode(the label of btn "colorChoice") into tColor
  put fullname=" & tName & "=" & tGndr & "=" & tColor into tArgList
  post tArgList to URL "http://my.web.site/sampleform.html;
  put it into tFormResults

You may need to log in to the website from within livecode (using the above
form method) to authenticate and retrieve a cookie or session token to
include in the headers of your form request

Re: Android SDK

And...now I can't build a standalone again. No changes to the SDK config, just a warning that 
the SDK isn't valid. It hasn't been 20 minutes since I built the first one.

RE: LC 9.5.6, Android and JSONToArray

[Ralph DiMola via use-livecode]

Dan,

Same problem with tsNet. The pro was the second license and as in previous 
version I just blew past the licensing dialog without reading. After I 
re-licensed and clicked the right arrow and selected the pro license(clearly 
marked) I was good to go. Although I assumed... Maybe the highest level of 
license should be the default?

Subject: Re: LC 9.5.6, Android and JSONToArray

Hello Dan,

I reply here so that other affected users can see it. So, the culprit was that 
Dan's stack had "Remote Debugger" in the inclusions, but LC 9.6.5 was activated 
with a license that did not include this feature.

Dan had another license that did include the "pro" features (i.e. remote 
debugger, pdf widget etc), and once he relicensed LC with this license,
JSONToArray() worked as expected.

What happened under the hood was that an error was thrown when the standalone 
was trying to load the Remote Debugger library on startup, and this error 
prevented all the other included libraries (including mergJSON) to load. This 
is a bug we should fix - i.e. the standalone builder should only include 
libraries that are licensed.

You can check if your current license has the pro features using "put the 
editionType". If it returns "professional", you do have them. If it returns 
"commercial", you do not.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Panos

I had great hopes and excitement.

I rearranged my project to use it.

All looked great on screen.

And then I found that it turns its output of pdfs to 72dpi.

And cried.

APK and an idsig file?

I just created an APK with LC 9.6.5 and found

Is this new? And what is it good for?

Re: Ghost in the Machine?

[Alex Tweedly via use-livecode]

Hi Peter,

just checking if I have understood this right.

I think you have a website / webpage which allows the user to view / 
update a single entry (i.e. "manual on-line form with 20+ fields").


If that is the case, I'd consider writing an app to take in the file of 
rows of details, and insert that using a browser widget. See 
https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?t=33074 or other similar 
discussions.  (Not done it myself, but looks reasonably straightforward).

Ideally my user would use a facility to upload 1 or more files with rows of 
details , each row containing a collection of all the inputs for my user to 
use. Sadly, there's no bulk loading facility, so the user has to type in most 
of the details from the membership form.

So here comes the 'Ghost' bit, is it possible to make an LC app that mimics 
keyboard and mouse inputs as if the user was there interacting with the on-line 
form? If I can do this my user would have a file of inputs which they could 
send to the membership database, sit back and watch the ghostly app 'type' and 
'mouse click' their way through completing the on-line form.

Any suggestions please?

I don't know about moving the mouse around but u can have a fake png of
a cursor move around...and then send mouseUps to buttons. and also u
can put text into a field 1 character at a time to simulate typing.

This is entirely doable in LC.

Tree widget and a similar process may provide a direction of travel to test…?

1. JSON-to-array 
https://lessons.livecode.com/m/4071/l/1303394-how-to-read-in-data-from-a-json-file
 
2. Setting the array data of datagrid…

Good luck.
Best,
Keith

Hi friends,

does it have any limitations if I "Sign for development only"?

I mean, once the user defined the URL to the APK as "trustworthy"
in his security settings on his/her cellphone, he/she can download
and install the app without any problems and dialogs.

I tried with a "selfsigning certificate", worked fine, but the user gets
two warning dialogs:
1. Unknown developer...
2. Upldoad app for checking to GOOGLE...

Not as nice as an unsigned app, see above. :-)

Too bad you can ONLY pay the developer fee via a CREDITCARD!
Big fun, Google!

OK, any hints welcome!


any takers or impossible to answer?


Best

JSON to Datagrid

I have been googling a solution for this but have not found a solid
solution for this.

Can anybody lead me in the right direction on this?

PDF Viewer widget - how to enable interaction?

[Keith Clarke via use-livecode]

Hi folks,
Can anyone share any experiences with the PDF Viewer widget that’s available 
via the old Business Edition or Pro Pack subscription?

I’m testing this on LC 9.6.5 with a Pro subscription on Mac 11.6. Following the 
PDF guide https://livecode.com/resources/guide/ I’ve been able to load various 
PDF documents into the viewer widget and view, paginate, scroll, etc. I can 
select text, as per the example code in the guide and this ability to select 
toggles with the autoHighlight property on the widget - as expected. However, 
I’m struggling to get much else.

The widget seems to be rendering the PDF documents in a passive ‘preview’ mode, 
in that they seem to lack any of the interactive behaviour available when 
opened in Preview or Adobe reader. There are no hovers or navigation on obvious 
links or bookmarks. Furthermore, other than documentPages and documentMetadata, 
all of the arrays that should handle these navigation elements are empty - 
documentBookmarks, documentNamedDestination, linkStyles.

Maybe I’ve missed another property that needs to be set to enable interaction? 
I don’t see any obvious setting to change in the dictionary, the LC guide doc, 
LC forums or online sources of documentation.

Any clues gratefully received...
Best,
Keith

Ghost in the Machine?

[Peter Reid via use-livecode]

I'm trying to provide an upload facility for an existing on-line club 
membership app. This app has a bulk loading facility for initial set up and is 
designed for whole database configuration. In addition the app provides a 
manual on-line form with 20+ fields making up a member's record.

Ideally my user would use a facility to upload 1 or more files with rows of 
details , each row containing a collection of all the inputs for my user to 
use. Sadly, there's no bulk loading facility, so the user has to type in most 
of the details from the membership form.

So here comes the 'Ghost' bit, is it possible to make an LC app that mimics 
keyboard and mouse inputs as if the user was there interacting with the on-line 
form? If I can do this my user would have a file of inputs which they could 
send to the membership database, sit back and watch the ghostly app 'type' and 
'mouse click' their way through completing the on-line form.

Any suggestions please?

Peter

Re: LC 9.5.6, Android and JSONToArray

[panagiotis m via use-livecode]

Hello Dan,

I reply here so that other affected users can see it. So, the culprit was
that Dan's stack had "Remote Debugger" in the inclusions, but LC 9.6.5 was
activated with a license that did not include this feature.

Dan had another license that did include the "pro" features (i.e. remote
debugger, pdf widget etc), and once he relicensed LC with this license,
JSONToArray() worked as expected.

What happened under the hood was that an error was thrown when the
standalone was trying to load the Remote Debugger library on startup, and
this error prevented all the other included libraries (including mergJSON)
to load. This is a bug we should fix - i.e. the standalone builder should
only include libraries that are licensed.

You can check if your current license has the pro features using "put the
editionType". If it returns "professional", you do have them. If it returns
"commercial", you do not.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Panos
