Somewhat true. LC made a start by adding widgets you can drop onto the
stack to create native mobile buttons and fields, but I'd like to

I feel this is overly harsh. Livecode fields (and the creation of native UIText
fields) do work on mobile. I think the issue is that the use of some objects

It seems if Apple made the iOS compatible with the desktop it would

The question is why don’t they make them compatible? Is their some

As I see it, there are 4 broad areas of problem for LC on mobile OSes.
The first two have been well described earlier in the thread and should
just be fixed.
1. xTalk features just don't work, or work totally inadequately (e.g.
scrolling fields).
2. Failure in cross-platform equivalence.
I did an uninstall of the Android Studio and re-installed it. After that,
it worked. Go figure!

I don't use virtual machines... I just use my MotoG6 on WiFi without a SIM

equation. (I don't trust the VMs... call me superstitious...)

You could give the path that you are using. Also, did you have to set up any
virtual machines? Long ago LiveCode was only happy if you had an Android 2.2
virtual device.

Mine is working, I'm wondering if I can put it a dropbox for you. (4.6 GB) Or
does it put your "machine signature" on it when you install it. I remember

Hi Skip,
the problem is that Android Studio 3.6.x does not install Android command line

There is no problem running the server and client on the same machine. I've
used it for doing elevated services. There is a demo stack for a chat server
and client that you can download. I know that helped me a lot when doing my
first client server.

Hi Kee. Thanks for the response.
I decided to go ahead and bypass the issue of the client and server being on
the same device. I got my laptop out and created the server app there. I got it
working as advertised.

Here’s how this should work.
Server has an IP and port number that it listens on. Client sends a packet from
the same IP and some random port.
Computer routes the packet and it doesn’t have to send the packet out on the
net. It goes out the client port and back in to the server port.

If server performance is at all an issue, SQLite may be the wrong choice.
It has a kind of, very reluctant, simultaneous access that the developers warn
you not to use.
They suggest PostgreSQL for heavy loads.
I use SQLite within the application (the in-memory access is blindingly fast),

Thanks guys. I did remember there was a limit but for some reason thought
it was only for the width of a line. I've switched over to trying a group
set as a container and setting the field itself to scrolling layermode. I

Scott,
í´ve searched for dwrite.dll and some of the search results showed that dwrite

Is your standalone doing anything with fonts or did you set something in the

There is an interesting debate here as to whether it is necessary or not to
wrap select statements in transactions for optimisation:
