iOS cameraControl microphone permission bug

2019-07-17 Thread Paul Kocsis via use-livecode
Does anyone know if there is an iOS workaround for an app that uses a
cameraControl but does not need or use audio?  The bug is that iOS asks for
microphone permission even though I'm setting the audioDevice to empty.
Here is the bug report:

https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21438

I can't get an app accepted that uses cameraControl for stills because iOS
asks for microphone permission when its not actually needed.  Thanks to
anyone that can help!

because cursor is a property and move wants to move an object


seems to me that possibly the compiler should catch this, or
not.but in any circumstance, cursor is defined as a property and move
expects to move an object

on-rev urgent ticket system down?

2015-03-14 Thread Paul Kocsis
Would anyone know if on-rev support 'urgent' system might be down?  I've
sent 4 emails with the subject 'urgent' and have yet to hear from them.  I
have indeed generally heard from them in an hour in the past, but no go for
over 18 hours now.  Is there some other way to get them a message if their
'urgent' system is not functioning and they are not aware of that fact?
(and yes, I am sending the 'urgent' email from my on-rev registered email
address)

To those that may be on-rev customers and read this.no, the servers
are not down, its just that my particular account has an issue that needs
their immediate attention.I add this just so I don't freak out current
on-rev customers

how can exportImageToAlbum be broken on android for so long...

2014-10-23 Thread Paul Kocsis
I've never, ever gotten it to work.  There are two outstanding bug reports
that are nearly a year old.  Such a fundamental feature that has, as far as
I can tell, never worked on android.  It certainly does not work from 6.x.x
and on

My image is a png and I'm doing the following:

put the long ID of image myimage into tlongid
mobileExportImageToAlbum tlongid

This returns export failed every time.

I've tried to use a filename:

mobileExportImageToAlbum tlongid, testfilename

'export failed'

I've tried:

put the text of image myimage into ttext
mobileExportImageToAlbum ttext

fails with either export failed or could not find image

Why has a fundamental android feature that has been broken for so long been
ignored?

GPS timestamp

2014-08-14 Thread Paul Kocsis
I posted this in the android forums but have not gotten a response yet, so
thought I'd ask here.  Here's my post from the forum:

Didn't know whether to post this in Talking Livecode or here, because
although I'm asking the following with android in mind, I'm really looking
for answers that apply to both android AND iOS.

My baseline question is: when I query for a detailed=true location reading,
one of the items returned is timestamp. In the documentation, there
really is nothing describing what or where this timestamp is coming from.
Is it from actual GPS packets? ...or from the cellular network if the
reading came from AGPS (tower triangulation)?

In reading about GPS timestamps in google's api's (IOS as well), there
seems to be different timestamps one can get depending upon which Location
object is queried.and thus those timestamps can be and mean different
things.

I'm simply trying to ascertain what the heck timestamp am I getting from
LC

I don't know if its a LC thing, or if GPS timestamps from mobile devices in
general are unreliable, but when simply logging detailed location data in a
test app, I see all sorts of (seeming) anomalies with the timestamp, and
it would be ultra-helpful to have some information/documentation on the
origin of what LC is returning as timestamp...

(BTW, I *only* do a detailed=true location mobileSensorReading when I
receive a locationChanged message)

For example, sometimes I'll get timestamps that are several minutes to over
an hour IN THE FUTURE..sometimes I'll see a timestamp that is indeed
old, but cannot be *reliably* deemed as old since one can receive
readings WITH THE SAME OLD TIMESTAMP where the GPS coordinates are
changing and the accuracies are changing/improving. If a GPS reading has
changed (along with its calculated accuracy), then why would I get many
GPS readings with the EXACT same timestamp?

The above makes it difficult (impossible?) to discern actual stale
readings vs usable readings.

Can anyone shed any light on what LC's timestamp actually is and/or why
I'm seeing some of the timestamp anomalies that I detailed above?

 *really* put a wait for 100... immediately after since if I do I lose the

 Is there anyone out there that has had more than a cursory use of
