Re: ANN: new team member

Heh heh. The level is not an indication of how primitive the language is. It's an indication of how abstracted from the machine language it is. Scripting is considered to be high level not because it is advances, but because it is most like human language and least like machine language. Bob

Re: ANN: new team member

Except, Bob, I would consider (C)rap to be what a coder writes in. No one who ever wrote assembly would consider that a low-level language in comparison to C. On Fri, May 12, 2017 at 2:13 PM, Rick Harrison via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Congratulations! > > I think

Hi Dan, I have download the “tools_r24.4.1-macosx.zip” and unzipped it into a folder android-sdk. Then launched tools/android and installed “Android 4.0.3 (API 15)”. Now when I launch tools/android I see at the top: (These are the installed versions) Android SDK Tools: 24.4.1 Android SDK

Re: Android Setup Config

Hmm your /MacintoshHD/android-sdk/ directory should also include a folder "build-tools". Since it is not present, you can install it using the SDK Manager: Launch tools/android Find an item "Android SDK Build-tools" (should be at the top) Tick the checkbox and select "Install packages" After

Hi Dan, Your setup sounds perfectly fine to me. Could you please check if there is a file /tools/lib/sdklib.jar? In the meanwhile I will check the version of the Android SDK Tools I have installed in my Mac which works OK with LC. Best, Panos -- On Fri, May 12, 2017 at 6:06 PM, Dan Friedman

My guess is, a scripter writes in a high level language like Applescript or Livecode script. A programmer writes in a mid level language like C++ or Pascal. A coder writes in a low level language like assembly. > On May 12, 2017, at 09:53 , Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode >

Panos, Thanks again for the help, but I think I must be stupid. I selected “Desktop” and still got “invalid Android SDK”. So, I deleted everything, redownloaded “tools_r24.4.1-macosx.zip” and put it in it’s own folder at: /MacintoshHD/android-sdk/. I then unzipped it and launched

Hi Dan, You have to select the parent folder that contains the "tools" folder as the “Location of Android development SDK root”, so in that case you have to select "Desktop". Or even better, move the "tools" folder (and every other folder that was installed to your Desktop after installing the

Hi Dan, 1. Download version 24.4.1 and unzip it. 2. This only includes a "tools" folder, which has the 24.4.1 tools. 3. You have to launch the SDK Manager and install also the "Android 4.0.3 (API 15)". To launch the SDK manager just double click on "tools/android". 4. After that, you should be

Might this be a reason to think about working tighter integration between LC and some other text editor? Then the TE can do what TE's do best, and LC can worry less about adding TE features. OR, what about taking one of the OSS TE's and working on integrating them into LC, eventually removing
