Re: updating text of a mobile app (newbie)

[Brian Milby via use-livecode]

That path should be safe to download new content. As long as you are just
downloading data, you are within mobile store rules.

Re: Local Image Paths in HTML for Browser Widget Fails

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

Nope… no way. On mobile, there are major issues with certain mobile controls. 
e.g. scrolling group becomes a mobile scroller on a phone… this "lies on top of 
everything" and I believe the browser is also generating a mobile control 
instance as well. I don't understand it 100% (not even 10%) but my guess is the 
pixel map for the rect of the display, for some mobile controls, cannot accept 
input from another object, within those same bounds/coords.

Especially on Android "all hell breaks" loose on the screen. You would have to 
see some of the bizarre abstract art that suddenly appears on the screen, very 
wild "early cubist" stuff with squares-tiles of colors and blocks

updating text of a mobile app (newbie)

[Nicolas Cueto via use-livecode]

A goal this year is to get an app (for foreign language learning) on the
Android and iOS stores. To this end, I have begun to re-study LC8's app
building course; LC itself I've been using for decades.

Let's say my original app gets approved. In that app is a datagrid object
list consisting of 10 vocabulary categories, the contents of  which are
read in from a text file in specialFolderPath("documents"). A few months
later, however, I discover more vocabulary categories are needed.

What do I do? Can I somehow "download" a new text file into
specialFolderPath("documents")? Do I have to completely update my app? Or
something else?

In the past what I've done for my desktop Windows standalones is to
download data from my webserver over the internet. But, I imagine mobile
apps must work differently.

Hand holding very much welcome!

Some routers can throttle the bandwidth. Also, the iOS Simulator should be able 
to provide varying connection scenarios for testing purposes. The desktop has 
options as well for adjusting bandwidth and increasing latency.

I have gMail forward all incoming mail to my hyperactivesw address, 
where I read it on my Mac with a real email client. Best of both worlds. 
And Google doesn't store or read those emails so some privacy is retained.

Heh.

Yeah, but what I had in mind is that aol's email access doesn't handle 
things like threading, so their technology (or rather their not keeping 
up to date with it) puts you at a disadvantage in terms of viewing the 
message order natively without resorting to nabble or something similar.


And aol's not alone in this. I have a similar problem with my yahoo 
account, and gmail isn't much help either. Maybe even worse, since gmail 
insists on not respecting folders. Why I don't use gmail for listservs.

Re: Local Image Paths in HTML for Browser Widget Fails

[hh via use-livecode]

Yet another option.

For a *true* progress animation (no gif) use
https://github.com/HubSpot/pace
That's what I use with my HTML5 demo pages.

For example (with a selfmade LiveCode theme)
http://hh.on-rev.com/html5/SVG2PNG_HTML5-9.0.0-dp-4hhX.html
Instead you could use your own logo for rotating.

Re: iOS Profile Menu

[Dave Kilroy via use-livecode]

Roger, I find it saves my sanity (and keeps things tidy) if I zap old
provisioning profiles before getting Xcode to install new ones - you should
find them on your system at the location below:
