Re: Local files in browser widget

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

Thanks Ralph, I did create a 64-bit apk with LC 9.5. I've had a couple 
of people try my test app. It works on a Pixel 2, and a Moto-something, 
and my Huawei tablet. So far it only fails on my Pixel.


If anyone out there happens to have an (original) Pixel phone and is 
willing to do a quick test, that'd be great. The apk has a single 
browser widget with a lot of text, and the test would be to see if you 
can scroll to the bottom. I'm hoping the problem is my particular setup 
and not the Pixel model itself.

Subject: Re: Local files in browser widget

I'm making progress but still having trouble with the browser widget on
Android. To date:

1. Chopped up the huge file into multiple smaller files. They have all been
tagged so that links automatically load the correct file when clicked. This
works.

2. The app now copies all the files in its resources folder to the documents
folder. This works.

3. When loading the first file of the set, it works perfectly. When tapping
a link that loads another file in the set, things happen sometimes.

On my Huawei tablet, everything works great. But on my Pixel, after
scrolling two or three screens, everything freezes. Not only does the
browser refuse to scroll (even backwards, where it's already been,) but HTML
links don't respond, and buttons and other controls are inert. The backKey
is also frozen, so the only option is to exit via the Home hardware button
and remove the app from RAM. This is 100% reproducible.

My Pixel is running Android 9 Pie and the Huawei has Android 8 Oreo. The
Huawei also has newer hardware than the Pixel. Is the browser widget
compatible with Android 9? Or is it a hardware problem?

Hi Alex,

I believe the problem is that LC function
doesn’t work in server even though the
documentation says it should work in
server.


No, it's definitely not that - I use funciton() all the time on LCServer.

Try this script and see what it does ... if it doesn't work, then check 
the version, etc.


If (when?) it does work, then you can start trying to narrow down. (I'd 
take the example you gave for reversedName, and put it at the top of the 
script file, see if that gives an error. If not, keep moving it further 
down until the error can be seen  :-)


(Or, if there's nothing too secret - send me your whole script off-list 
and I'll look at it).


(I have my copy at kilmelford.com/try.lc9 if you want to see its output.)

Alex.


I tried the example in the dictionary
for reversedName.  It works fine in
the IDE.  Once it is put into server
like the following the first line gets
flagged with the error.

   row 854, col 1: if: error in command (function)
   row 854, col 1: script: bad statement (function)



Can we unravel the email send code so it
doesn’t use functions?

I did try putting the email send code into
the IDE and it put the message into the
message box without sending out the email.
Perhaps that needs to be proven to work first
in the IDE?

I used the example code you provided as
a test to be sure we were on the same page,
and, it didn’t work.

Suggestions?

Rick

Hmmm - LC Server's error reporting can be frustrating  and I'm not sure

All I can suggest is to try to take the problematic script and load it as a 
script-only stack into the IDE and see if it can be tested out that way - if 
necessary adding a few lines of code to mimic the way it\s being used on the 
server.

(Or send me the whole script off-list and I'll see if I can spot the 
differences between your context and mine)

Re: Android 64-bit?

[Colin Holgate via use-livecode]

When you submit apps to Google Play you have some amount of control over what 
versions are able to see that app. At this point it’s a few years since I had 
to deal with that, but hopefully you will have an option to say that it’s 
compatible with say Android 4-8. That rules out 9, and works around the 64 bit 
requirements.

Re: Android 64-bit?

Welli thought it was clear ..but now i'm more confused than ever on
this subject :P

It will not be possible to post a *new* app to the playstore starting
august 1 without using livecode 9.5 to build it?

Is 9.5 stable slated to be out anytime soon?

Re: Android 64-bit?

[Colin Holgate via use-livecode]

I have been following this with regard to Adobe AIR, and it’s nice that they 
get an extension. I use Unity too, and that has a longer extension. I suspect 
it’s in proportion to the number of apps submitted with those tools. I have 
read figures of 10% of apps are AIR and 50% of games are Unity. That’s a lot of 
users to upset.

LiveCode isn’t quite at the 10 or 50 percent level yet, so no special case. But 
one thing to note is that Android 9 is only at 10% of devices, which is high 
enough for Google to brag about, but if you have to set your APK to only work 
on Android 8 or earlier, you still get 90% of the users.

RE: Android 64-bit?

[Ralph DiMola via use-livecode]

From the android-developers googleblog:

The 64-bit requirement: what it means for developers
Starting August 1, 2019:

All new apps and app updates that include native code are required to provide 
64-bit versions in addition to 32-bit versions when publishing to Google Play.
Extensions: Google Play will continue to accept 32-bit only updates to existing 
games that use the following SDKs:
Corona Labs SDK - until August 2020
Adobe Air software and the AIR SDK - until August 2020
Unity 5.6.7 or older - until August 2021
Starting August 1, 2021:
Google Play will stop serving apps without 64-bit versions on 64-bit capable 
devices, meaning they will no longer be available in the Play Store on those 
devices.
This will include games built with Unity 5.6.x or older.
The requirement does not apply to:
APKs or app bundles explicitly targeting Wear OS or Android TV, which are form 
factors that do not currently support 64-bit code.
APKs or app bundles that are not distributed to devices running Android 9 Pie 
or later.

Dar,

https://developer.android.com/distribute/best-practices/develop/64-bit states, 
"Starting August 1, 2019, your apps published on Google Play will need to 
support 64-bit architectures."

So, no new or updated apps can be posted to Google made by LiveCode after 
August 1?   That can't be right!   Perhaps someone at LC will have some better 
news?

Re: Best Temp Pass Autoresponder?

[Rick Harrison via use-livecode]

Hi Alex,

I believe the problem is that LC function
doesn’t work in server even though the
documentation says it should work in
server.

I tried the example in the dictionary
for reversedName.  It works fine in
the IDE.  Once it is put into server
like the following the first line gets
flagged with the error.

  row 854, col 1: if: error in command (function)
  row 854, col 1: script: bad statement (function)



Can we unravel the email send code so it
doesn’t use functions?

I did try putting the email send code into
the IDE and it put the message into the
message box without sending out the email.
Perhaps that needs to be proven to work first
in the IDE?

I used the example code you provided as
a test to be sure we were on the same page,
and, it didn’t work.

Suggestions?

Rick

Re: Best Temp Pass Autoresponder?

Hmmm - LC Server's error reporting can be frustrating  and I'm not 
sure what it is trying to say here.


All I can suggest is to try to take the problematic script and load it 
as a script-only stack into the IDE and see if it can be tested out that 
way - if necessary adding a few lines of code to mimic the way it\s 
being used on the server.


(Or send me the whole script off-list and I'll see if I can spot the
