I remember Panos mentioning that one of the primary reasons for including X86 was so we could use the faster emulator. I know I stopped using the emulator years ago because it was too slow to be useful. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyper

So in fact the only great thing now for x86 and x86-64 is the high speed emulator. Makes it strange right, there are almost no x86 or x86-64 real phones, but in Android Studio you see as of Android 8 and up only x86 system images and no ARM at all. I don't get it, where is the logic behind

Actually after some research, I've decided not to bother with x86 builds. There are only one or two models that support it and those are very old. The current user base is a fraction of one percent according to some charts. Support for x86 chips on mobile devices apparently was dropped some yea

That error depends on what version of LC you use. Use LC 9.5.1 and it can build for ARMv8-ARM64-X86 and x86-64, then lc will build the correct one to the emultaor ones you press the test button in LC ide. But for uploading to the Google play store ARMv8 and ARM64 will be sufficient Op 28

I'm so relieved. Thank you. It didn't make sense to me, but I saw no explanation about that part of it anywhere. Full speed ahead. (ish) I am struggling a bit getting it to work in the emulator it seems like I can only do ARM architecture on V7 or below in the emulator. And using an X86 emu

LC uses the SDK primarily for its build tools, which allow the IDE to create standalones for Android. The SDK does not affect the versions of Android your app will require. For years we built apks using SDK 6, and apps built using those tools still run on Android 10 today. A while back the SDK

@HH @brian Ha! You math genius are wonderful! But this is a one off design process, so I will still with my "ruler" grc rect…. A triangle with width=height is NOT a regular polygon (it doesn't have equal side length). To have what you want create a grc of type "polygon" and then set points o

@Mark Right, I figured that was the only solution. One gets tired setting the prefs again each time you to do that @Richard, Good idea to store as a plug-in stack. I already have CollectMyStacks. This would be the "same thing" but for the IDE Toss the peferences stack and let lc rebuild it.
