How to give swiping precedence over scrolling on mobile?

2018-12-19 Thread Terry Judd via use-livecode

This is a problem that I have run into before and have never been able to solve 
satisfactorily. I’m using touchStart and touchEnd handlers to detect the 
direction and speed of a finger movement and if it is within certain bounds 
(large enough x, small enough y, and fast enough) then the user can swipe back 
and forwards through a series of cards. Good so far except when the area they 
are swiping on also includes a mobile scroller (to scroll a list selection 
widget/thingy). In that situation the swiping becomes a bit of a hit and miss 
thing – works sometimes but not others. On iOS there are a few scroller 
parameters look potentially useful (canCancelTouches, delayTouches, and 
lockDirection) but it’s not really clear (to me at least) which of these might 
help and if so whether I should be setting them to true or false.

Any ideas?

Re: Can't Submit App to iTunes

2018-12-19 Thread Dan Friedman via use-livecode

Panos,

This an update to an older project.  LC is finding the icons and splash screens 
because it's not throwing an error or warning at build.  But, I cleared all the 
icons and splash screens in the Standalone Application Settings and re-selected 
them.  That seemd to resolve the issue!  Wheew!I'll make it a habit to 
re-select these files when updating older projects.  Something must have 
changed with these paths between versions of LC.

Thanks for the help!

Hello Dan,

Indeed, default-5...@2x.png is required. In fact the standalone builder puts a 
default image in the app bundle named "default-5...@2x.png" in case the user 
does not provide any.

Since you have provided all the necessary icons and splash screens, I do not 
see any reason why they don't appear (all of them) in the app bundle. I take it 
that all the icons and splash screens you have provided are all of the required 
dimensions, as specified in the tooltips of the icon/splash fields, is that 
correct?

If you think it is a bug, then I suggest you file a report at 
quality.livecode.com and send us (either to 
panos.mera...@livecode.com or to 
supp...@livecode.com) you full stack and the set 
of images and icons you use.

BTW what is the minimum target iOS version in the iOS standalone settings? It 
might be worth changing it to "8.0 or later" and see if you still get these 
errors.

Kind regards,
Panos

FYI: How to reliably identify an Android Tablet microSD Card

2018-12-19 Thread Peter Reid via use-livecode

FYI

I've managed to put together some code that reliably locates the microSD card 
in 4 very different Android-based tablets. The approach involves 3 different 
methods:

1. Search for a known folder on the SD card starting in the standard "/mnt" 
folder using a breadth-first search strategy.

2. Search for a known folder on the SD card starting in the less standard 
"/storage" folder using a breadth-first search strategy.

3. Search for a known folder using full paths that are used by specific 
manufacturers. These look as though they should be located by method 1. (they 
are all paths from "/mnt") but sometimes fail 1. however they work if the full 
path is specified!

Here's my code for "findSDcard"...



on findSDcard
   constant \
  cSDcardRoot1 = "/mnt/ext_sdcard/Android/data/com.myorg.myapp/files", \
  cSDcardRoot2 = "/mnt/sdcard2/Android/data/com.myorg.myapp/files", \
  cSDcardRoot3 = "/mnt/m_external_sd/Android/data/com.myorg.myapp/files", \
  cSDcardRoot4 = "/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.myorg.myapp/files", \
  cSDcardRoot5 = "/mnt/extSdCard/Android/data/com.myorg.myapp/files", \
  cSDcardRoot6 = "/mnt/external_sd/Android/data/com.myorg.myapp/files", \
  cSDcardRoot7 = "/mnt/SDCard/Android/data/com.myorg.myapp/files"
  
global gDataPath -- /myapp-data
global gSDcard -- path to app's data folder

   set wholeMatches to true
   put empty into gSDcard
   put (char 2 to -1 of gDataPath) into tTargetFolderName
   if the platform is "android" then
  put "/mnt" into tDeviceRoot
  if there is a folder tDeviceRoot then
 -- search in standard /mnt folders:
 put empty into tFoundPath
 folderExists tTargetFolderName, tDeviceRoot, tFoundPath
 if tFoundPath is not empty then
put tFoundPath into gSDcard
 end if
  end if
  if gSDcard is empty then
 -- try non-standard /storage folders:
 if there is a folder "/storage" then
-- search in non-standard /storage folders:
put "/storage" into tDeviceRoot
put empty into tFoundPath
folderExists tTargetFolderName, tDeviceRoot, tFoundPath
if tFoundPath is not empty then
   put tFoundPath into gSDcard 
end if
 end if
  end if
  if gSDcard is empty then
 -- try bespoke SD locations:
 if there is a folder cSDcardRoot1 then
put cSDcardRoot1 into gSDcard-- Huawei
 else if there is a folder cSDcardRoot2 then
put cSDcardRoot2 into gSDcard-- Amazon
 else if there is a folder cSDcardRoot3 then
put cSDcardRoot3 into gSDcard-- Lenovo
 else if there is a folder cSDcardRoot4 then
put cSDcardRoot4 into gSDcard-- Fusion
 else if there is a folder cSDcardRoot5 then
put cSDcardRoot5 into gSDcard-- ??
 else if there is a folder cSDcardRoot6 then
put cSDcardRoot6 into gSDcard-- ??
 else if there is a folder cSDcardRoot7 then
put cSDcardRoot7 into gSDcard-- Hudl?
 end if
  end if
   end if
end findSDcard

on folderExists pFolderName, pRootPath, @pFoundPath
   constant cNoDotsRegex = "^\..*"
   
   -- breadth-first search for a given folder
   put empty into pPath
   if there is a folder pRootPath then
  put empty into tSubFolders
  put folders(pRootPath) into tFolderList
  filter lines of tFolderList without regex cNoDotsRegex
  repeat for each line tFolder in tFolderList
 if tFolder = pFolderName then
-- found it:
put pRootPath into pFoundPath
exit folderExists
 else
-- add sub-folder to list for checking:
put pRootPath & "/" & tFolder & return after tSubFolders
 end if
  end repeat
  if tSubFolders is empty then
 exit folderExists
  end if
  repeat for each line tSubFolder in tSubFolders
 folderExists pFolderName, tSubFolder, pFoundPath
 if pFoundPath is not empty then
exit folderExists
 end if
  end repeat
   end if
end folderExists



Note that the above was necessary because specialFolderPath("external 
documents") doesn't work reliably across the 4 Android-based tablets I'm trying 
to support.

If anyone has a more elegant or succinct method, please let me know.  In the 
meantime you're welcome to use the above code.
