Could not compile application class
Does anyone have any ideas when I get a messagebox with 'Could not compile application class’ in it when I try to save an app so I can deploy it on an iPhone, and at the same time I get a another window popping up saying I need Java runtime environment. Its frustrating as its only on one app, everything else works fine but there is nothing special in the app, the build settings are exactly same as another than compiles file, it has no included files, im at a loss. ___ 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: Could not compile application class
Nope, only iPhone checked. I went back to 6.6.5 and it compiled fine, so the error only happens in LC6.7 and LC 7. Odd, hopefully its just a one off and will work itself out somehow, its only happening in one app, everything else compiles fine.

In your message you mention that you are trying to build for an iPhone so it could be that you have Android checked in your stacks standalone application settings.

mobilePickPhoto - User error, simulator error or Livecode bug?
Another oddity ive come across while trying to update some old apps. The code… mobilePickPhoto tSource, tMaxHeight,tMaxHeight put the result into tResult used to work, but now it returns nothing whatever is selected in the simulator, tested with Livecode 6.6.5, 6.7 and 7.

Scaling an app for iPhone 6
With the latest updates, I have gone through an app and stripped it out to just the single @1x resolution and let Livecode do the work to scale it up for the iPhone 5. This works perfectly, with all the images etc all appearing in the right places. However when I test the same on an iPhone 6 or 6 simulator the stack gets scaled up, but only to the iPhone 5 dimensions leaving a black bar to the left and bottom, and the @2x images are used. The result of thescreenpixels is 2, I would have expected 3. Am I missing something or is this a bug?

Re: Scaling an app for iPhone 6
Found the issue (I think). Everything scales correctly for the iPhone 6, until you add a splash screen image. After that it shows the better splash, then flashes and shows the iPhone 5 splash and proceeds to load the app at iPhone 5 screen resolution. Ive posted a report on the bug system so this can be investigated. In the meantime Ill leave the splash screen off.

Re: Problems with externals when building for iOS8
Its all of them Mone, I cant figure it out at all. Last night I wiped my Macbook and reinstalled Yosemite, Livecode and xCode from the appstore, then created a basic app which worked, then added an external (answercolor) and it bombed. I guess I must be doing something wrong somewhere so Ill keep trying as the externals have been great so far. I was wondering if it might be the simulator as ive not tested on a real device. Andy Are you having the issue with a particular external or all of them? I haven't had any reports like this.

Hi Monte, You were spot on with the including a folder rather than a file.

Problems with externals when building for iOS8
Is anyone having problems with externals when building for iOS8 or 8.1? I seem to be hitting my head against a brick all. I have the latest xCode 6.1 installed, and ive tried building with Livecode 6.5, 6.7 and 7.0 with the same result everytime. Taking a very basic app with just one button and compile and run in the simulator and everything is fine, but then put an external (eg mergext) in a folder, and include that folder in the apps package and the app then bombs immediately after the splash screen. Ive tried all combinations I can think of, and its happening on both my macs. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

Printing on Windows
Before I submit this as a bug, does anyone else have print issues with Windows from LIvecode 6.6.2 onwards? The issue I have is that a text box, formatted as a table prints correctly on a Mac or Linux system, but on Windows it prints as a grey or black box for the whole size of the text box, obliterating the contents and using up a lot of ink. Ive also installed a print to PDF driver and get the same problem (but save ink!). If I compile with 6.6.1 it works fine across all platforms, but anything later including LC7 prints a solid grey or black box instead of the field. Im working on a sample stack now so I can submit that as a bug if needed, but just wondering before I do (and waste any of the team at RRs time) if this is something anyone has seen before and is a bug or if its something I’m doing wrong.

Retina output on a Mac
Apart from compiling with 6.6.2+, is there anything else I need to set to enable retina output on a mac? I dont have retina on my mac, so I used air display and my iPad to test the retina output and that just worked, when I dragged the window onto the iPad retina display is just redrew ans became super sharp. I ask because I have a user that says one of my apps is not displaying as retina, and has sent me a screen shot where everything looks scaled. Ive changed all the graphics in the app so they are read from a folder, and there are both standard and retina versions of the images in the folder.

So I compiled the iOS standalone, put it into iTunes and synced with the iPad. The icon showed and was perfect, the app launched but only the upper left portion was visible! The good news is that the buttons in that portion of the interface seemed to work ok, but again, just a quarter of the interface is visible.

There is an app called appwrapper which has a 30 day trial, this will automatically do all the signing for the store and bundle in the 1024 icon for you.

Too late now, but one more thought! Dont forget to take all the languages you dont support out of the resources folder in the app package.

Testing apps
Just a thought thats been brewing and brought to the front of my mind with the recent iPhone launch and the 'apps failing to launch' issues thats affected some apps. Whilst its impossible for us all individually to own and test on every make and model of device, it might be good if we could set up a test group as im sure between us we must have most makes and models of iPhones, iPads and Android devices. Its possible with apps for iOS to generate up to 50 free promo codes in iTunes Connect for each version of each app, im not sure how it works for Android but I would imagine something similar must exist. If this were ever to become a reality, maybe some form of site or list could be put into place where people happy to test could post a list of devices they can test on so developers could contact them and if agreed could send over the promo codes etc, or the other way round where people could post apps and have device owners contact them. Just throwing it out there!

Re: how to test in-app purchase
You just log out of the store on your phone, and then re-log in using your test account (in settings) You then go to your app, and purchase the in-app purchase using your test account. As its in the list, it will let you do it. If it doesnt work, give it 24 hours and try again. It seems to take anything up to 24 hours for new test accounts, and in app purchases to become available and work together.

Re: Reviews on the iTunes store...
As others have said, reviews only get seen in the store they were left in. Just to add, if you have not seen it already there is quite a good (free) online tool called App Annie. You should set up a separate account on iTunes connect if you do try it so they can only view sales and not give them full access to everything. In addition to the online reports it sends a daily email letting you know how many apps have been downloaded, if any have got into the top 200 apps (and their positions, up, down etc), and any reviews you pick up anywhere in the world so you dont have to go looking for them.

Re: Reviews on the iTunes store...
Yes, you just set up a user in the manage users area and restrict their access just to the lowest level, thats all they need. If you give them full access they could in theory change anything, your apps, your bank details to theirs etc. Im not that trusting so I just give them access to the stats so they can report on them for me!

Importing vector graphics for interface
Ive had a couple of emails from users of my apps that say they look great on a normal Mac, but terrible on the new Macbook Retina. Im guessing this is probably because there are some background images, and when I pasted them into Livecode they switched from vector to a bitmap format so dont scale well at all and probably use far more memory than they really need to. Is there any way to import a vector image file so Livecode recreates it in vector format using its polygons etc as this would seem to be the first thing that would be worth upgrading in my apps to reduce memory usage and improve scaling.

Re: mergExt pricing changes and free externals
It may not be complicated (to you!) but its a huge hole in Livecode for me at the moment! Ive stopped writing for the Mac App Store as its impossible to access files outside of the sandbox without the security scoped bookmarks, if an external existed that allowed it (even though it should be in the main livecode product imo) that would be amazing. I use a couple of externals already to validate the MAS reciepts, and provide the interface to the Intel App Up store, but any other externals that opened up access to more stores would be good. Other externals that would be nice on the desktop right now for me would include... - Dropbox (as previous mentioned), because its a real pain inside a mac sandboxed app to use from Livecode otherwise! - A barcode scanner that could use the macs camera - Touch screen support for Windows 8. I really hope this works out for you Monte. Livecode has grown to be a genuine option for mobile development now, and your tools absolutely, and without any doubt in my mind fill in the missing gaps and extend the functionality immensely. Good luck with it all!

Re: Licensing selling an Android app
I have an app in both the Google Play and Amazon stores, and find Google is the much better option for me. With the Amazon system you have to submit every update for review and then wait. If you want to withdraw a product from sale you have to write to them. With the Google system you can simply upload a new apk, activate it and its good to go. You can also remove it from sale, change the price etc etc. Also sales wise, for me the Google store sells in a 6/1 ratio compared to the Amazon store. A couple of things to watch are, as mentioned beforeand unlike the Apple store, you cannot switch a product from free to paid, and the manifest is used to work out the devices the app will run on and this will include Android tablets bey default so make sure you app resizes to all the different Android resolutions or wait for the negative reviews to roll in. As far as protection on Android goes, I dont think ive seen an app that has not been cracked and is not available for download through a torrent site. My apps rely on quite a lot of interaction with a web feed, so I can simply change the location of the feed between releases which renders any cracked copies useless. Its not ideal, but the best I can do with my abilities at the moment. Andy On 2 Jun 2012, at 19:14, Richard Miller wrote: Thanks, Colin.

Not sure if they have the same DRM options you have in Google Play. With Google Play you can take an easy route, and hope there isn't too much piracy, or you can go for another option they have that somehow encrypts the app to make sure it will only play on the purchaser's devices. One big thing to watch out for is that when you first submit an app to Google Play, and haven't yet set up how they will pay you, the app will be instantly available as a free app. You're not allowed to charge for an app that started off as a free app. That can be solved by creating a new app with a different app ID, but that's a shame to have to do, just because you didn't notice that your app was placed as a free one. ___ 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 ___ 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 ___ 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: Licensing selling an Android app
Yes, free and paid versions are treated as separate apps in all the stores ive used, including both Apple and Android. However it doesn't take very long as most of the time is taken preparing descriptions, screen shots etc. which can be mostly the same for both versions of the app. The actual time taken to complete the application process on any of the stores is usually very short, its the review period that takes the time. In my experience, Googles Play store doesnt have a review period so its instant, Amazon seem to take 2-3 days (ive read it can take longer but 2-3 days is my experience) while Apple take almost exactly a week for iOS apps. You can of course distribute an Android app without a store at all if it helps. Andy On 2 Jun 2012, at 23:16, Richard Miller wrote: Thanks, Andy, for that useful information.

Re: Outlet for Mac Apps
Have you tried putting a UK address and card back into your account? I had to do that to fix mine. I now just maintain two accounts at Apple, one for my home in the UK, and one for my home in the States with each one keeping its own address and card in it. The issue appears to be licensing as for example I also use iTunes Match which is neat, but I have it set up on my main iTunes account with is in the States so tend to keep all my devices logged into that account regardless of where I actually am. If I forget to log my Apple TV out of the US account even when in the UK I can get the US content (eg I could rent movies from the States), the card and address are all Apple seem to use for geo tagging. It then extends out to the App Stores as there are apps you can't get in the UK, (Pandora etc), or ones you cant get in the States (BBC iPlayer) but if you are logged into the account with the countries address and card you can download them as if you were in the country.

If its just for the iOS and Mac App Store you should be able to get by without a card as you can set up accounts that way (I guess designed for kids wanting free apps), might still be work a shot changing it back to your original UK address and selecting the no card option to see if the apps come back.

I sent several emails to the App Store support staff and in the end they were very sympathetic, but could only point me to the iTunes Terms and Conditions. I get the impression it was just legal issue that they weren't able/prepared to do anything about. I can still use the current versions of any software installed, but I just can't re-install/update any of it.

Re: Outlet for Mac Apps
I think the article may have that wrong, you can sell your apps anywhere you want, the MAS is just another outlet. Quite a few developers seem to be switching to Mac App Store only policies (eg Pixelmator) which is their choice, but ive not seen anywhere that is a requirement unless its changed recently. Probably confusion with the iOS store policy. But there's this: Apps distributed in Bodega can be freely sold anywhere else, including the Mac App Store. Apple requires developers to offer paid versions of their apps in the Mac App Store only. If an app is also available on the web, the developer must link to the paid version in the Mac App Store. So if you want your app in MAS then you can only put a free version on Bodega. -- 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 ___ 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: [OT] Apple Rant
Thats how mine works. Mine also usually says 12 hours to download to begin with, then I check 10 minutes later and its ready to play. One HUGE performance factor ive found is if you use a centralised dns like opendns or unblock-us etc it pretty much destroys the download performance and its hours and not minutes for downloads to start. I believe Apple use geo data to provide a local server for iTunes downloads, and they cant always get this when you go through other dns systems. Netflix and VuDu however seem to have it much more sorted.

Re: [OT] Gatekeeper
Yes. Gatekeeper and the Mac App Store are two totally separate things, Ill just keep this reply back on the original Gatekeeper thread to avoid confusion. Ive just been playing with gatekeeper signing this morning, took 15 minutes max to get the developer id from Appe, then sign an app successfully so gatekeeper accepted it. Its quite simple, once you have your certificate and have double clicked to install it into your keychain, you create the app as usual in Livecode then run the the terminal command... codesign -f -s Developer ID Application: Developer Name ./yourApp.app You can then test the code sign is acceptable by running... sudo spctl -a -v ./yourApp.app On 10 May 2012, at 07:06, Peter Haworth wrote: I think you can sign your app without selling it through the Apple store, two differernt things Pete lcSQL Software http://www.lcsql.com On Wed, May 9, 2012 at 7:32 PM, Kay C Lan lan.kc.macm...@gmail.com wrote: On Thu, May 10, 2012 at 5:37 AM, Andrew Henshaw hens...@me.com wrote: The MAS store does not offer a demo or trial version, people just buy it.

Re: [OT] Mac App Store (was Gatekeeper)
Yes, a MAS reciept file is inserted into your apps package by the Mac App Store so you can check it is there and validate its contents. It has a hardware signature so you can make sure your app is valid on that system and has not been copied to another system. If everything checks out you can then treat the launch as a full registered copy and skip your trial screens. BTW, another 'MAS' store feature is users can install the app on as many system as they like by logging into the store on other computers and re-downloading. Each copy gets its own reciept for each computer which will validate, so while you cant copy an app from one computer to another, there is no real limit to how many computers a user can install on if they want. You might get away with the license agreement, ive seen apps that show those first but when you submit an app you can also submit your own license agreement as a text file so it does look like the app store has its own system for that, Ive just stuck with the standard Apple license so its not something ive done.

Re: [OT] Gatekeeper
As far as I was aware all you need to do is sign your apps, if you publish an app to the Mac App Store it already has to be signed. To do this you need the $ 99/year Apple Developer Program, and then you can use a few simple terminal commands to sign an app. It should not affect Livecode at all, its just another hoop to go through if you want to deploy you the Mac OS without your clients getting warning messages. As part of the program you also get access to the pre-release software so you can test to ensure your apps dont get snagged by the gatekeeper.

Re: in-App Reviews
Thats pretty much what I use. I can confirm it does not work in the simulator, but works fine on the device. As part of the other discussion as to how annoying it can be, I wrote a routine that counts up how many times the app has been used and the box is never shown unless the user has been using it for more than 2 weeks, and has started the app at least x times. It then pops up and answer box and offers the choices to rate now, remind later or never ask again. This seems to work as only people who continue to use my apps ever get the reminder, and generally they leave the best reviews.

Re: MobGui Rotation Problem
Have you tried turning the statusbar on and off in Mobgui? That has worked for me. It seems to store the geometry for each, then occasionally does not detect the correct one when the device is rotated. If you turn the setting off and then on again for each card the geometry data is copied to the other state and it might help. This in turn causes other problems later when you have updated the cards and wonder why they are updated in the IDE and not on the device (until you repeat the turn status bar off then back on to reset the geometry data again). Id love to be able to tell Mobgui what to use rather than have it guess (or just turn the feature off entirely), as especially on Android the reported screen sizes are not consistent and you have to create layouts for every possible scenario.

Thinking I might have done something to break MG I created a brand new stack, made sure that the MG code was in the card script of both cards, and tried it again. It still fails. I've also tested on real devices to the same result.

Really frustratingly, ive had this problem before, and I dont have it now so I know its fixable but not how. Ill try to dig round in the time machine backups to see if I can go back to a flashing version, then compare the code to see whats changed, but its definitely fixable and im sure it existed before the accelerated rendering. The only things I changed were changes to lock screen etc, and all my rotations now call any resizing code in a separate sub to avoid problems I had with mobgui undoing changes I wanted, eg on resizestack send doresize to me in 1 end resizestack Might be worth a go.

Windows Admin vs Standard Users - App startup times
There was a thread a few days ago about the differences between the Windows Admin and Standard users. This may be related, but can anyone explain (or replicate) why, when a Livecode app is compiled with the UAC Execution Level set to either default, or same as invoker and on a Windows 7 pc, when the app is started as an admin user it starts immediately, but when started in a standard user account it takes 12 seconds before it loads? Once up and running performance is identical. Id really like to get the start time down for standard users, Ive seen this on two pcs now (I mainly use macs so wasnt aware of the issue), on is a Windows 7 machine, the other Windows XP. Both virgin machines, restored from their recovery cds first to make sure they were as clean as a windows pc gets from the manufacturer. The app is a simple hello world card, one stack, one card, one button. Any ideas as to what this could be, and if there is any way to fix it. I dont see to many options apart from the UAC which ive tried all ways.

Re: Windows Admin vs Standard Users - App startup times
Thanks Its also easy to test, if you compile the simplest of apps and compile it, then switch to a standard user account and run the app it is slow to start. If you close the app, the right click on it and select 'run as administrator' to start it again it starts instantly. I cant really tell all my users to run the app as an administrator so hopefully there is something during the startup that could be disabled with a line of code to get an instant startup in a standard user account instead of a 11 second one!

Re: Windows Admin vs Standard Users - App startup times
I did think it might be a cache, but not in this case. If I restart the computer, log in as the standard user then right click and start the app in administrator mode it starts immediately. If I then close the app and re-launch it using the normal double click it takes forever to load, so it doesnt look like a cache, its genuinely a LOT faster when an app is started with admin rights, or slower when run as a standard user. It should be a really simple test as the most basic of livecode apps do it for me on all my three Windows computers. In admin mode, on a mac or linux everything is fast, but on a standard user account on Windows 7 there is a definite, and substantial start delay! I was hoping it might be something simple, but maybe not. Andy On 7 Feb 2012, at 17:25, Bob Sneidar wrote: That may be a bit of a misnomer. Windows (and OS X) is designed to keep recent code from an app in virtual memory. You will discover this phenomenon to be true with all programs.

Re: Android stats
My stats are showing just over 60% of my app users are on Gingerbread, with the rest spread between everything else. The paid apps tend to be more weighted towards the later versions, and the free apps towards the earlier ones, maybe the people with the newer phones are more willing to pay for apps? Depending on the phone, once you have rooted it and installed the Clockwork stuff you can switch between different versions of Android in a matter of minutes. I have a Galaxy and a ZTE blade I use to test and its a doddle to switch between 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 etc and that way you can see if your app works on all the platforms, you just need the various roms which can all be held on the sd card. My tablet is a Sony though so no rooting that, its not possible yet and im sure Sony have tried to ensure it stays that way!

Re: Falling at the last fence...
Sorry about that, back to a computer with a power supply now! Assuming this isnt a simpler certificate issue, and you have installed xCode 3.2.x on Lion then this might help. Apparently 3.2.6 overwrites the productutil app, which is part of the submission process. To fix it (is this is the case), locate your Lion installer package (mine is in Applications), right click and select show package contents. Now, select contents, the shared support, and double click on InstallESD.dmg to mount that. Once you have that, open the virtual drive, select packages, then double click on BSD.pkg. This fixed the problem caused by the installation of 3.2.x on my system, you can then reboot, go back into Livecode, sign the app and send it off, fingers crossed! I hope this helps!

Re: looking for new iOS device, anyone recommends iPod Touch?
Hi Andre, I lucky enough to have them all, and id agree the original 3G is now too slow. I keep it so I can test the worst case, but its slow. If you have an original iPad however, Id just use that and compile the app as an iPhone only app to force it to emulate the iPhone. Its almost identical in performance to the 4, while the 4s and iPad 2 are faster, but if you have something working well on the iPad then it will work ok on the others. Ive only tested on the iPod touch as its my nieces, but it seems very similar to the iPhone 4. You can test the retina graphics in the simulator to make sure they lay out correctly, there is really no need to get another device. Now Android is another story completely!

But I'm noticing some strange lags between the time I tap and the time the effect actually happens. For example, in one place I have a text field set up with several different links. The user taps a link, and then a window pops up to show a definition of the tapped word and play an audio file. When I show/hide the window I'm using a dissolve visual effect: show/hide group window with visual effect dissolve very fast The effect happens, but sometimes there is a 2 or 3 second delay between the tap on the screen and the change on the screen. There is some code that runs inside a linkClicked handler before the group is shown, but nothing that should take that long. And if I remove the visual effect, the window displays almost instantly. Something is occurring as part of displaying the visual effect that is taking longer than expected. So the question is, is there anything I can do to improve this? I've already set the layerMode to dynamic where appropriate, but this doesn't seem to make much difference in this case. Maybe I haven't set the property on the correct objects? Some visual effects seem to work just fine, like the basic push and reveal effects. But I have also noticed this somewhat with the curl effects. Has anyone else experienced this?

Re: What are the current LiveCode issues with the Mac App Store?
Unfortunately the file dialogue just doesn't work after you sandbox an Mac app. If you monitor the console an error is flagged as the file manager is denied access to the system and when the user then selects anything in the dialogue the returned variable / path is empty. Apart from that, everything else seems fine or can be worked around by adding an exception rule to the entitlements file so its not a blocker, but the file dialogue is a bit of a dead end at the moment. The only other real issue is all your files get stored in the sandbox (of course). You can tell the system to put them in documents, and it just puts them in a documents folder, in the sandbox. For existing upgrades you can add a migration file to the package so the first time it runs it moves any files you select from documents etc into the sandboxed area ready for the app. Its quite easy to actually try the sandboxing and then run your app. Watch the errors in the console to see what you need to add an exception for. If you already build for the Mac App Store its simply a case of adding the appname.entitlements file and running a slight modified codesigning command.

Re: Possible to list storage size of images stored within a stack?
Thanks Mark, I ran into problems with an app submitted to the Apple store which had images in a folder containing references in their name to android as I was planning on porting it over, so ive tended to put the images in the stacks as they are then hidden and never really given the memory issue a thought! It would be nice if livecode could make the included files conditional so I could create a folder for each one and then when selecting the files to include, be able to set the platforms to include that file or folder for when the app is built. That would help on the desktop as well. In the meantime the only way seems to be to remember to remove the other platforms which isnt ideal for my goldfish memory, so putting them in the stack works for me for now :) Ive run the script and there are about 60 images @ over 10k so thats a good start, now I just need to squash them all, is that possible in Livecode as well?

Re: ios image file names.
If you run the mac console app this will output simulator errors or 'put' messages in your code, or if its a device you can track the messages in xcode. Paths are pretty specific, I find keeping everything lower case really helps. Some really useful code someone posted a while back is using the errorDialog if you are not using it already as the iOS engine can happily discard errors and plod on, but adding the following lines to the main stack can often find problems really quickly on errorDialog pExecutionError, pParseError if item 2 of line 1 of pExecutionError is 0 then answer An error occurred cr cr pExecutionError else answer An error occurred on line: item 2 of line 1 of pExecutionError end if end errorDialog I comment them out when its ready for a final release, but during the debug stages they can be life savers! As for (2), ive had the same issue for a while and from memory its not one Runrev managed to replicate. All I do after the first time i use the simulator is as soon as I click test, I then click on the simulator window and it loads quickly without the warning.

Re: When to release a free Android app? (development cycle)
Thanks for the feedback Roger. Ill port the iPad interface over to Android for the tablets in the Christmas break as its much more suited to larger devices, a lot of the screens are merged and it works in landscape and portrait, but for now the scaled up version will have to do, I never really intended to have it running on tablets at all but the manifest option to specify the lack of large screen support isnt in there yet. The expanding search is slow because its doing a net query and thats taking too long at the moment. The information is all cached locally however, so once you have done the search once there is never much need to do it again. To answer the second question, the app calculates what the USA government see as your ideal weight based on your height, age and gender and prefills that as a starting point for the weight as most people will then scroll down to their real weight.

Re: When to release a free Android app? (development cycle)
Thanks Jacqueline, Ill check out the weight screen, I had that problem once, hit back, then forward again and it fixed itself so I thought it was just a glitch somewhere with the scroller not being populated but maybe not!!! Ill check it out! If you want to get further into the app pressing back, then forward again might work as the setup screens are really just the basic first bits, the main interface is where the datagrids, scrollers, database and net access etc all come together. What I do like about Livecode is that apart from the interface, the code that runs the backend and does all the above is the same for the iPhone, iPad and Android, and it wont be a huge job to add proper tablet support but I think Ill buy one first!!!

Screens fit fine, menu works fine, placement seemed good. Graphics and layout were attractive and the buttons were big enough to hit easily (thanks for that!) I couldn't set up the profile though, when I got to the part about weight I got only a blank screen, nothing to choose from. I tried all three weight measurements but they were all blank. Also the back button doesn't quit the app, at least here. Otherwise it looks very nice. If I could get a calorie measurement I'd use it. Actually, if I could get a weight, I'd make my husband use 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 ___ 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: When to release a free Android app? (development cycle)
Thanks for that, Ill move it up 60 pixels! I was working with the 'working screenrect', but ive probably forgotten to remove the geometry MobGUI adds, if I move an image by just 1 pixels the geometry data is added back and then mobgui puts things back to where I put them while designing the layout for each screen size whatever I do with the code, so if I actually move the bar up 60 pixels for the 600x1024 layout and fill the space with a black bar for other devices this should help in case I shift it again by accident! I think I need to do a little more actually and check both the working and actual screenrects so if they are not 'expected' then maybe add a send in xxx milliseconds command to make sure even if the geometry data exists and mobgui does its stuff, then when a different working rect is detected due to a soft toolbar etc the interface is resized again after any mobgui changes to make sure it works in all cases. One for the morning :) The real problem I have is I dont have a Fire, and cant get one here at the moment! Unfortunately I was in the States about 3 days before the release, but I had to do the same earlier to work with a 800x1280 tablet running honeycomb on the emulator. Ideally Id like to get the full tablet interface working on a Fire, but im not back in the States until Feb so it will have to wait until then unless Amazon choose to sell it here before then!

OK, I confused myself because I can't do maths; but this is actually pretty simple. 'The screenrect' for the Fire returns 0,0,600,1024; 'the working screenrect' returns 0,40,600,964, which correctly reflects a 40 pixel status bar, and 60 pixels for the control bar at the bottom (though NB the shadow of the latter protrudes a few more pixels). The rect of the stack is 0,0,600,924, which correctly describes the space in which you can work. So my guess is that you are currently positioning your bottom elements using the screenrect; whereas if you used the height of the stack it would fix this problem.

Thanks again Ben, sorry for replying out of order!! Ill definitely fix the menu bar issue in the morning, but just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to the icon and reversed portrait modes?

In relation to the phone versus tablet issue however, I've taken a look at it on the Kindle Fire and it seems pretty good to me. I've only spotted two serious snags: * I let the screen lock kick in while on the select weight page (trying to decide how much to lie) - when I unlocked the screen, it refreshed partially but not fully. Not sure if there's a way you can detect/deal with this. * The Fire has a soft control panel - instead of hardware buttons for home/menu/back it displays these plus search at the bottom of the screen whenever it sees fit (eg in the reading app, they disappear until you tap the center of the screen). In the Fire's own apps, some other controls are somtimes added to thi standard set.

Similarly when I select the menu button from that panel, your menu slides up but the bottom row is largely obscured by the Fire's control panel. I'll post a separate query to the list on this topic, because I'd be interested to know the right way to handle it. Apart from these, two things you could do which would I think make the app more pleasant to use on the Fire would be: * a higher-resolution icon - the Fire shows recent icons really big on the home screen, and the current one for your app looks stretched * support the reversed portrait orientation. In my use, I find that I'm mostly using the Fire 'upside down' from what Amazon apparently expect (so that the power button is at the top); their standard apps all handle this, so it's jarring when another app can't handle it. In my personal view, from my limited testing on this one device, if you fixed the above four issues it would be entirely reasonable to post the app, for tablets as well as phones. But my Android experience is extremely limited, so I suspect you would do better to get some testing on a much wider range of devices.

When to release a free Android app? (development cycle)
Ive been working on a port of an iOS app I wrote earlier in the year to see if for me and my level of programming skills, the Android part of Livecode is up to the job. Ive got an app working now, but only on phones, not tablets yet. Its slightly less functional that the iOS version as there are some things missing from the toolkit like sockets, keyboard notifications, native pickers etc, but ive worked round the lack of pickers for now so the app is functional and useable, just missing a few bits like sync and just a few native style controls, hopefully they will come later. My question is really at what stage would you release an app to the Android store? Does it need to have tablet support from the start or should I work on getting a more native look and feel if its possible? I think Ive probably pushed Livecode on Android as far as my skills allow at the moment. Ive uploaded an apk of the app via if anyone has a phone and wants to try it (it will only work on a phone - not a tablet!). It uses Johns new MOBGUI scrollers and buttons a lot so it shows what they can do in my hands :) Again, im sure others could do better, but its at... http://tinyurl.com/t2gand Really the question would you release it, or wait for Livecode to mature a bit on Android? It will be a free app as ive no idea how to monetize it, and without money development will be stopping very soon as it will just be an exercise in what is possible, rather than something that pays a few bills! With the iOS version I can give away 100s a day, but put a price on it and nobody wants it so Im, guessing the Android app will be the same. Any thoughts would be welcome!!!

Re: When to release a free Android app? (development cycle)
Yes, ive just not designed it for the tablet size yet. I used MobGUI for all the android layouts, so its a case of dragging the controls around as I want them for each screen size. It sounds a pain, but its actually very quick and seems quite reliable where scaling, especially if it involves resizing images seems to really slow the engine down. I could just manually scale up the larger phone displays in the short term, but id prefer to make more use of the screen resolution by porting a version of the iPad interface over as many screens can be merged to make use of the extra screen area and it would all work much better. It all takes time though, and I have to get back on with the day job so it might be a Christmas project, im just wondering if it matters too much that tablet sizes are not in the initial release. As I dont have a android tablet, Im not sure how the app store works, is there a way to specify which devices are supported, or do you find some apps just dont support tablets resolutions, or does everything else just work???

Windows compiled apps with UAC
Im just playing with the Windows 7 Software Logo Toolkit and it throws up a couple of errors or warning when running my app. No problem there, most can be fixed but one relates to the UAC settings. It states the app must be set to include a manifest for 'asInvoker'. Ive set the setting in the standalone builder to allow this, and it gets round the error, but when run in a standard users account (as opposed to an admin user) the app fails when it tries to access any external dlls, so as soon as there is supposed to be a read from a database nothing happens. Get rid of the manifest and everything works as it should. Any ideas on how to fix this so it can pass the test, and work??

Best practice for performance testing
Hi, Ive got an application that quite happily runs along at an acceptable speed on my Macs, but on Windows systems it seems to struggle. Im trying to pin down the parts of the code that I need to look at so I can work out what is happening. My best guess would be the interaction with the sqllite database, but thats just a guess! Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to do this. Im thinking of writing a command I can call to simple log some text and the milliseconds to a file, so I can insert calls to the command through the various code and track exactly what time each are called, but something in the back of my head says this might not be the best solution as the file write will also take time.

Re: Best practice for performance testing
Thanks Roger, Yes, the Windows spec is pretty similar to my slower macs, but the performance is significantly different, for example adding a few items at once takes a fraction of a second on the mac, but about 2 seconds on the windows machine so Im sure there is a big code issue there, and if I can track that down hopefully I can apply those changes throughout the app and get everything running faster. Bootcamp and VirtualBox implementations of windows Xp, Vista and 7 are the same, so its definitely not windows either, it will be my code somewhere!

Re: iOS initial orientation
I couldnt figure this one out either, so in the end I load the stack with a black opaque rectangle at the top, and have that hide itself after .2 seconds (the time varies on the app, it depends on how much it has to do in the pre open. Its not really noticeable for the user as they get the splash screen which then disappears and the app loads, but it hides the messy upside down or wrong way up, then swivel effect that happens normally. You can add code to bring the rectangle to the front and set its visible to true when you compile and in my example it hides itself just after the stack is loaded so it doesnt get in the way for development, I cant remember the actual handler right now but its quite easy to do.

Re: iOS initial orientation
Yes, that would be a better option! The other issue you might run into is try your app on a real device and start it 'face up'. It will start in whatever you specify as the initial orientation, and stay that way, even if you pick up the device from being face up, flat on the desk direct to landscape. The ui rotates, but redraw is not fired so it stays in portrait with half the content missing off the bottom. I need to make a ticket about it, but not got round to writing a sample stack yet, but its just worth checking what your app does if you start it 'face up', then pick up the iPad in either landscape or portrait and see what happens. Andy I wish we had a way to just tell the engine to start up in whatever orientation is current. -- 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 ___ 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

Most still rotate two ways, ie. landscape and landscape upside down, I think thats enough.

Password protecting a stack in the distribution
Hi, Im wondering if anyone can shed some light on the best way to do this! I have built a library stack which Im including in the distribution and selected the 'encrypt with password' option for both the main stack, and this library stack, however when I compile if I go into the package the .rev file is there with clear text contents, totally readable. Ive also tried using the set the password of this stack to mypassword and then saved the stack and re-loaded it and that does encrypt the original stack and ask for a password before I can edit it, but for some reason when I compile again the stack is put into the distribution in clear text again.

Re: Error on uploading app to App Store
Im having problems getting messages out to the list at the moment, so ill post this to the list and directly to you. I had the same problem when submitting an update to my app a couple of weeks ago. I switched to Snow Leopard running xCode 3.2.6 / SDK 4.3 and recompiled and everything worked and went through. I get the distinct impression that this has nothing to do with Runrev, and everything to do with the certificate handling in Lion and Snow Leopard or xCode 3 and 4, but whatever the reason the steps that work for me under Snow Leopard and xCode 3.2.6 are... 1. go to developer.apple.com member center and go to the ios provisioning portal 2. create an 'app id' for you app. This must be all lower case, no spaces and must match your internal app id 3. go to the 'provisioning' tab on the side and then to the 'distribution' tab on the top and create a new profile for your app. 4. download and install the certificate into xCode 5. start run rev, make sure the internal app id matches your com.xyz.abc you used, and the correct provisioning profile is selected. 6. compile 7. go to the compiled app and right click it, then compress it into a zip 8. send the zip to Apple using the loader application. This works for me 95% of the time. If it fails I usually go into iTunes, organizer window, delete all the provisioning profiles then re-download them from the Apple member center and put them all back and that fixes the remaining 5%. I hope this helps you. Andy On 27 Aug 2011, at 19:48, dbro...@unlserve.unl.edu wrote: Quoting William de Smet williamdes...@gmail.com: Hi Dave, But you don't have a solution yet?
