Re: [OT] KOUSEK (or replacement) code snippet manager replacement?

2017-01-13 Thread Stephen Barncard via use-livecode
Thanks for the suggestions. It's apparent to me that the amount of work it
will take to get the data into quiver is about equal to the effort to get
the data converted from the KOSEK XML data files. At that point I might as
well just make my own app.

Quiver is great for a various types of data but way overblown for what I
really want and their import features seem incomprehensible to me..

 I already have a Livecode datagrid based data display framework I might as
well use. It's just the time required to turn the XML into a tab delimited
list or array and create the UI for the app I didn't want to have to create
right now, though I admit it might be a cool exercise.

RE: Android Keyboard Activation Issue

2017-01-13 Thread Livecode XAC via use-livecode
Rich,

I agree.  I think the syntax is there,  mobileControlDo  "focus"

it just doesn't do anything on Android, but it works fine on iOS.

Found the following in LiveCode QualityCenter.
   11468   Reported Nov-2103Reported by Monte
   11180   Reported Sept-2013   Marked as duplicate of 11468
   18520   Reported Sept-2016   Marked as duplicate of 11468

Looks like this issue is well known, just nothing has been done with it.  
Creates a real problem providing a quaility user experience.

Is there any way to mark it so it gets looked at?

Regardless how the field is created, it seems we have no means of explicitly
giving focus to a mobile-native field programmatically.

If that's correct it would seem adding that would be a reasonable priority.

If that's incorrect I'd welcome learning what the syntax is.

A good deal of good UX depends on this sort of graceful guidance for the
user, which we can find in many competing apps.

I can't see the logic which author is elected as the "one-for-all", but it's
certainly without asking that person and without looking if the person is
using Nabble.

For a while it was Bob S., currently it's Tiemo.
Perhaps the last poster to the list modulo some time shift?
Or is it a platform specific "malfunction"?

May be it is not Nabble but a changed "delivering" procedure?


It's because Heather changed the From: header in order to stop people 
from getting unsubscribed from the list. That worked. But apparently 
Nabble doesn't read the From: header correctly, or does some other kind 
of processing. I believe the problem is with Nabble, which is 
unfortunate because I often use their archives to search the list.


I don't know who first set up the Nabble account but it would be good if 
someone with authority could see if the problem can be fixed, and also 
change "Revolution" to "LiveCode" in the list name.

setProp does not fire break?

2017-01-13 Thread Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode
I'm trying to understand some code done for us that was not documented.

We are using a lot of text only *.livecodescripts  and working with a  frame 
work that is more of an MVC model where we try to keep our binary stacks as 
free of code as possible i.e. they serve as views and then we call behaviors 
and start using libs: This seems to be the direction that the whole LC frame 
work has moved toward. And it certainly does make for cool collaboration on Git 
with text only stacks being easily diff'ed and conflict resolved (Yes! I 
actually have learned to just GIT  just a bit)  But it comes with many caveats

Normally I can start to understand things pretty well by just setting break 
points here and there and studying the variables/values being instantiated all 
the way.. hitting cmd-I to step thru and that's my learning curve on this 
undocumented code.

We have this behavior… which I know for sure is being called on start up...

setprop portal_RowNames [headerName] rowNames
answer "Hello" with "OK"
break
replace comma with CR in rowNames

### more code here

end portal_RowNames

If I comment out this set prop handler… the expected views fail. ergo we know 
for sure that it is being called. because it is assigned the group of objects 
(the "view") on card 1 of the stack

But if I add the "answer" and "break" to the handler, these never fire. 
Everything works, apparently and the setProp is called and does it's job

Why not?

BR

If I recall correctly, that is a keyed custom prop, and also if I remember

its a property with array notation)
portal_RowNames [headerName] and portal_RowNames[headerName] should both
work. (unless I misremember completely)

RE: Android Keyboard Activation Issue

2017-01-13 Thread Livecode XAC via use-livecode
Dave and Andrew,

Thank you for your input and insights.   Right now I'm creating the control
when the user touches on the text box and then delete the control when they
enter the return.   This provides a highlight of the field that is being
entered, but has the double click issue.   The original challenge that I had
with doing that was when the user scrolls the screen the Native control
would stay where it was created and the screen below would move, so the
Native Control wouldn't follow the display scroll, but I know they have made
some fixes, so I should give it a try again.

Are you doing a Native Scroller as well as a Native Text box at the same
time.

I will give it a try to create all the native controls on card open and see
if this resolves the issue.

I will let you know what I find.
Dan

Subject: RE: Android Keyboard Activation Issue

Hmm - Dan both Andrew and I appear to create native inputs on opening the
card so that when the user touches the native control it's ready to go. You
appear to create the native control at the same time the user touches the
underneath field? (or maybe you have a round-rect graphic or similar that
the user clicks on?).

Do you get the same need for a double-touch if a user comes back to a native
control a second time (i.e. when it has already been created)? Perhaps
experiment with creating the native control first and then use it once it's
been fully instantiated?

BTW my wording earlier when I was talking about having an issue on Android
with "the keyboard sliding out" was sloppy - I was trying to say the issue
was around getting the keyboard to slide out of the way i.e. at the end of
the editing process...

Good luck!

Dave

PS: do you have any LiveCode fields on the card with traversalOn set to true
that may be 'holding on' to focus  and thus requiring the double-touch?

I looked at this. Yeah, the pink is a bit hard on my eyes. Easily changed, 
though.
It looks useful. 
Best,
Bill

Nabble fools one of us

2017-01-13 Thread hh via use-livecode
Just in case somebody of us is wondering why he/she suddenly authored *all*
posts of this list since Jan 8 here:

http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Revolution-User-f278306.html

I can't see the logic which author is elected as the "one-for-all", but it's
certainly without asking that person and without looking if the person is
using Nabble.

For a while it was Bob S., currently it's Tiemo.
Perhaps the last poster to the list modulo some time shift?
Or is it a platform specific "malfunction"?

May be it is not Nabble but a changed "delivering" procedure?

Hi,

Thanks  for a very nicely done stack , and some useful snippets, but I am
now blind and seeing pink elephants everywhere ;-)

Do you prefer the  Pink Panther to the Finstones by any chance?

That can only be an element of an array. Without the preceding array name, it 
will not compile.

Oh good to know Mark. In my case this for internal consumption only, but if I 
do distribute an app based on the framework of utility functions and commands I 
have built up over the years, I can see I will have to address that.

Hi Bob,

Writing to stacks in your bundle will work if you do not need the app to be

wanted your app code-signed to prevent GateKeeper showing up, you will need to 
write to files outside of the app bundle.

other aspects of my Devawriter Pro and not get twitched that things are not

RE: Android Keyboard Activation Issue

2017-01-13 Thread Dave Kilroy via use-livecode
Hmm - Dan both Andrew and I appear to create native inputs on opening the
card so that when the user touches the native control it's ready to go. You
appear to create the native control at the same time the user touches the
underneath field? (or maybe you have a round-rect graphic or similar that
the user clicks on?).

Do you get the same need for a double-touch if a user comes back to a native
control a second time (i.e. when it has already been created)? Perhaps
experiment with creating the native control first and then use it once it's
been fully instantiated?

BTW my wording earlier when I was talking about having an issue on Android
with "the keyboard sliding out" was sloppy - I was trying to say the issue
was around getting the keyboard to slide out of the way i.e. at the end of
the editing process...

Good luck!

Dave

PS: do you have any LiveCode fields on the card with traversalOn set to true
that may be 'holding on' to focus  and thus requiring the double-touch?

AW: I need help with UTF-8

2017-01-13 Thread Tiemo Hollmann TB via use-livecode
I think I found the solution by adding a macToISO() conversion to the string
passing to the PHP.
I have no idea, why this wasn't necessary in LC 6, probably I will never
fully understand the LC UTF mechanism
Thanks for caring

Betreff: AW: I need help with UTF-8

Hi Kay C,

I have checked the db data directly with phpMyAdmin and additionally with a
LC Client connected to my db.
Both show, that the Umlaute are correct, when having written it directly to
the db from a LC field input, but are corrupted, when having written it
first to a local file and then read it from the file and written it to the
MySQL.

The PHP and MySQL part was made by a third party and my knowledge is very
limited to this part. I can see that the db field is coded in
"utf8_general_ci" but in the PHP I don't find any differentiation between
Windows and Mac.

The db Client is my LC program. I am not aware of having set the LC program
to any charset (though it is pretty old and complex). How could I set the
client to a special charset? What syntax could I search for?

Thank you

Tiemo

We may need to see your actual scripts to determine where the problem may
be. Also, how do you know that your MySQL db data is corrupt?
What program are you using to look at it? How was the db set up in the first
place; what character set and collation? Is it possible that your Windows db
Client is set to UTF8 whilst your Mac db Client is set to MacRoman?
