In LiveCode (Android) is there a suitable way to access Google API's without a
server - i.e. have direct request / wait / response receive method?
The aim is to provide a way to use Google licensing payment services directly
from the device.

A few days ago I raised the question on how the device behaviour differs from
how it is in the IDE environment. The question posed was if there is a command

1. In the mean while built just a double button scheme, let's see how it looks
with the devices. Look forward to simplifying back to single buttons with the

1. Question 1:
What is the problem with getting the radio buttons "tick boxes" scalable?
Trying to remember, I asked about it for a few years ago, and the answer by LC
team was, it is about the icon??

When fixing a problem with non-scaling radio buttons one solution was to use

Now it appears that those buttons do not retain the setup theme, but you need

Actually the first question is why can't the
The following is only one opinion of many possible.

the better the larger it is, and the icons / images and their relative
positions or

What I meant with two windows or sections (call then "windows") to a script is
as follows.
Within IDE, I have two windows both displaying sections of the same (for
example long stack) script. I can go to both windows, click one, scroll one,
do edits in one, save the script, click on the other
Another way of improving the productivity in development would be to develop
the IDE so that you can edit the same script in two windows or separately
scrollable sections. This kind of capability is available in some development
environments, even in applications like Excel.

The simplest way in my mind would be one User / Reference Manual, which
includes any change from previous version (release note) with for example XML
markup, e.g.:
This is V8.1.1 stuff...
Further, any examples for any function should include a hyperlink to a web page
explaining the use.
V7 < --- > V8 backwards compatibility is definitely not working.
I just filed a bug on the following.
1. loaded my stack into V8 DP4
2. edited a comment line, and save in V8
3. loaded the stack into V7 (as I feel the UI in V8 is so cumbersome that
it is not usable)
The result:
If you edit your stack code using LC V8, is the saved stack backwards
compatible with LC V7, provided that you have not used any functions / language
constructs available only in V8?
The question arises from the fact that at a certain point there was a cutoff
(V6 - V7) in compatibility.
