What are people doing to sell and license an LC-created Android app?
I looked at Google Play, but that appears to use a non-LC-compatible
licensing process. What can be done to restrict illegal app copying,
short of writing a custom app registration process, as would be done for
any desktop
Amazon is more straightforward. 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

The performa series was an attempt at making Apple systems to

but there were some pigs too. In the final analysis what
Apple produced in an attempt to market cheap computers,
was... well... cheap computers! Good riddance I say!

Thanks, Colin.
The problem I have with Amazon is that it is U.S. only, and many of our

Sounds like you used Google Play. Did you go without the encryption
option? Did you somehow use in-app purchasing or simply publish a paid app?
Thanks.

Hi Mathias,
You should warp your INSERT command in an SQLite transaction. Before the
first one, revExecuteSQL tdatabaseID, BEGIN TRANSACTION and after the
last INSERT, rev$xecuteSQL tdatabaseID, COMMIT. You'll see dramatic
performance improvements, I can almost guarantee.
You should probably
I have an app in both the Google Play and Amazon stores, and find Google is

With the Amazon system you have to submit every update for review and then

Peter,
thank you very much. That is more than an improvement. It takes now just a
second or so.
You mentioned the form of my insert statement. Is there something wrong with it?
Do you mean the fact that i replace the placeholders value-xx?

Hi Matthias,
Glad that worked. With the Begin/Commit, the changes don't get flushed to
disk until the COMMIT; without the BEGIN/COMMIT, each individual INSERT
gets flushed to disk, plus other sqlite overhead.
The INSERTs are probably fine. I was going to suggest that you use the
parameter

It worked, but I had performance issues, so I gave it up ; I was experimenting

Hi Graham,
A card is not a stack (obviously). The stack containing the card temporarily
becomes the default stack, but this stack still refers to the currently
visible card of the stack rather than the card containing the script. If you

The behavior is strange in that this stack, meaning the current stack, will

One is what Mark mentioned. The default stack will change to the stack of the
