The forthcoming Remote Debugger will definitely be of value in targeting
LiveCode apps to the devices. However, there are areas, especially in catching
issues taking place in (nearly) real time, which I - and don't know how many
others - have met as the most problematic ones. Not all of the
There are character set differences between the different platforms, when
entered in an app by the user. Characters slash "/" for example is one of
these.
Has anyone detected the same problem? What would be the intelligent solution
to overcome this? So when a user is typing "ä" (a with
At the last LC V6 and early V7 versions I built a mobile (Android) application

which still works, was updated for about two years ago. It might
Does anyone have similar problems:
1. starting LC 8.1.7 in Mac, using a second display creates a gray screen

It might be this discussion has already been on this list.
Recently I have seen and heard future views on the time of apps running in the
users' devices getting past in a few years. This means the apps run in servers
and use standard browsers running HTML5 and an efficient language snippets
A few days ago I raised the question on how the device behaviour differs from
how it is in the IDE environment. The question posed was if there is a command
go card "xyz"
and the script continues to run immediately, would there be interference in
terms of "getting the go done".
That is true. However, just adding the single command "lock screen" before the
"go card xyz" removes the problem. I have tried to understand what could be
"illegal" in the target device point of view in the script code following, but
so far haven't figured it out. Actually the script runs

this something I suspect as well.
As there are a zillion different Android devices with different performance
capabilities one has to use the belt and suspenders. In January I will be
trying with iOS as well, and see if there is a difference.

It was so easy to figure it out, sorry for asking.
But, what is the version of LC in on-rev server?

1. When starting, the different windows still get placed somewhat in random
places
2. The tools window disappears; you have to switch it off, and switch it on to
see it again
3. The IDE just dies, doesn't quit from menu, you have to use Activity Monitor
to kill it.

1. Question 1:
What is the problem with getting the radio buttons "tick boxes" scalable?
Trying to remember, I asked about it for a few years ago, and the answer by LC
team was, it is about the icon??
I tried using switch button widgets, but the scaling of those isn't linear
(width / height)
The following is only one opinion of many possible.
First, you should consider automatic scaling only with a very restricted amount
of cases. These are for example sort of games, where the "playing field" is
the better the larger it is, and the icons / images and their relative
positions or
When fixing a problem with non-scaling radio buttons one solution was to use
widget switch button, which can be scaled.
Now it appears that those buttons do not retain the setup theme, but you need
to redo it at every stack startup. Why not.
Actually the first question is why can't the
When in a script you issue a command
go card "xyz"
does the next command line of the script get into execution before the "go" has
been completed?
Is it comparable to the "move" command, where this is true, with the additional
statement "without waiting"?
Is it possible to find a
Thank you for a good set of answers!

1. In the mean while built just a double button scheme, let's see how it looks
with the devices. Look forward to simplifying back to single buttons with the
new icons for checkBox and radio buttons. "When" is my 2-3 year old question,
though. Just ask a nerd nearby to do the job.
Using different devices I have not found out how to make a well visible text
field entry pointing cursor. What is seen is typically a very faint vertical
line, which barely can be seen. I remember having seen a nice vertical tile,
blinking on the location you can do your entry. How owuld one be

When setting object layers, how do they work actually?
The documentation states the higher the number of an object, the control is
higher than the the object it is on.
This means that in case of two objects on top of each other a mouseClick would
go first to the object with the higher layer
Just to respond.
Thank you for the advices - very helpful. However, experiences with the early
versions (say V5-V7) made me avoid the grouping functionality. Maybe because I
could not manage the concept too well. So I have given it up and manage it (as
do with scaling etc) with additional
It concerns the apps developed for mobile platforms; here I refer to Android as
have no experience on iOS, yet.
First, on the screen the edit location cursor is a vertical line barely visible
with high resolution devices. Is there an option for example a "bold",
blinking or coloured cursor?
The dictionary states the result from mobilePickDate is in seconds.
The reality with Android the result is in format mm/dd/yy.
Is this known error in documentation?

send calls to WLAN enabled IoT devices. For example to detect such devices?

The last developments I did was back in 2016 - five long years ago, using Indy.
Just for fun, I did a fast research and found out that there still might be
market opportunity for the app I worked on.
