Serial communications over Bluetooth for Android. Currently Serial over Bluetooth limited to Windows and IOS devices at high tablet cost. Most real world solutions use Android for cost effective tablet for external device comms.

Re: Answer dialog text missing in standalone 9.6.9
Hi , Is this a bug ? Win 10 LC 9.6.8 Standalone Black Text. Background as stack colour but needs to set to white as text cannot be seen. Buttons black text on grey - a bit naff. LC 9.6.9 Standalone White Text. Background as stack colour - okay except for white as text is white. Buttons white text on grey - no good. LC 9.6.8 / 9.6.9 Always black text on white/grey regardless of stack colours? Is there a fundamental problem with ask/answer dialog on Windows ?

Re: Answer dialog text missing in standalone 9.6.9
Hi , Made new stack and works okay. Then found that I had set the background colour of ask and answer to white, this has worked for many years and showed black text. The stack background is blue. Do I assume something has changed in 9.6.9 ? I removed the set background to white and the answer background is now blue as expected with white text. The answer banner is white with black text but the yes/no buttons are grey with white text which is unreadable.

Re: Substacks
Hi, So using real substacks being opened by go to from mainstack and then closing from substack returning to mainstack all working well, thanks for the previous suggestions. Just found some odd behaviour :- The mainstack and substacks have items in PreOpenStack. The substack has for example, On preopenstack Set the foregroundcolor of fld “xyz” to red End preopenstack This works on the first pass of go to substack from mainstack. But if the substack is closed and go to substack from mainstack is used again the fld “xyz” is not found. To get round this I added the cd in the substack - fld “xyz” of cd “123” . Two questions :- 1. Is this the expected behaviour ? 2. Why does it work on the first pass without using - of cd “123” Regards Camm > On 29 May 2022, at 20:32, General 2018 wrote: > > Hi Jacquline, > > Think your question lead me to the issue. > > For some reason on the stack that did not work I added the substack by > opening the mainstack and substack and saving the substack into the mainstack > somehow. > > I started from new and added the substack by using the add stack file button > within standalone settings and it worked fine. > > > Regards > Camm > >> On 29 May 2022, at 17:27, J.

Re: Substacks
Hi Jacquline, Think your question lead me to the issue. For some reason on the stack that did not work I added the substack by opening the mainstack and substack and saving the substack into the mainstack somehow. I started from new and added the substack by using the add stack file button within standalone settings and it worked fine. Regards Camm > On 29 May 2022, at 17:27, J.

Re: Into the future
I think some misunderstandings …. You can build LC standalone with no certifications on MacOS desktop. The issue comes when you wish to codesign and notarise for distribution downloads from web etc. To do any codesigning and notarization with apple you need the certificates and be a member of the development program. The standalone will run fine but without apple codesign and notarization but the latest MacOS gatekeeper will give warnings etc on MacOS desktop. For IOS the certified route is a must.

I had a look at the most current dp version of 10. If LC would require a certificate then there should be somewhere in the standalone settings a area where one could select an appropriate certificate. But that is not the case. What LC does for some time now when creating a macOS standalone is doing an ad-hoc code signing. Please do not ask me what that is, ;) but this kind of code signing seems not to require a certificate. The ad-hoc code signing is done in the stack revsaveasstandalone.livecodescript. Search for 'private command performAdHocCodesign' So there might some other problem and LC does come up with a misleading error message.

Just had the same pain. mrSignNotarizeHelperV3 was great and sorted all the MacOS command line stuff with ease ( I think LC should have this facility built into the standalone builder) The Apple side of things unfortunately are what they are.

Re: Notarize Helper Stack in LC lesson updated
Hi , Just a question on the .pkg install location. When I execute the .pkg made by mrSign the installer completes okay but I cannot find app ? not in /Applications or anywhere. If I use 3rd party “Packages” to make a .pkg it’s installs app to /Applications. Any clue ?

The slide/switch buttons appear as a hatched box graphic and the answer dialogs sit behind everything. This only happens if I load my stack is by clicking on it. If Livecode is loaded first and then the stack is opened all is well. MacOS Click on stack file to open - problem. Open stack within Livecode - ok. Built Stand-alone - ok. Windows No problems.

MergExt BLE
Hi , Have an application for IOS and started to use MergExt BLE. This is working great with livecode on finding devices , connecting and writing. I have an issue with reading , it works but missing data randomly on read. The BLE device is using Notify. In “didupatevalueforcharactistic“ values are return after writing a request. But sometimes half the response or other random results. The application needs to send a few commands each will reply with unique data. So :- Write 123 Read result and action Write 456 Read result and action and so on... I am sure this is no fault of MergBLE it just cannot find livecode doc on how to structure the data flow using MergBLE commands and Messages. Any help would be appreciated.

Hardware with USB / Bluetooth serial communication is commonly available for use on Windows , MacOS and Android but I cannot use Livecode for all 3. This is a show stopper until resolved.

Re: Future support for Serial Coms
Douglas , Serial over Bluetooth on all Windows with LC - Yes , but as you say it is seen as a Com port. I have a Bluetooth device that needs serial commands - Windows sees this as a Bluetooth device (in the loaded driver VCP should be ticked) I then pair it and use LC with the standard com port commands. I second all your other points and we can only hope that LC gets this for Android.

Future support for Serial Coms
Hi , I have seen questions raised over platform support for Serial Com ports and cannot seem to find a conclusive answer for Android and IOS. On Windows I use serial data over USB and Bluetooth , this all works fine with LC. I want to migrate to Android - so with LC is serial over USB and Bluetooth possible ? Many Android apps currently us this but need LC too. The only option for IOS is WIFI connection.

Top Bottom Left Right
Hi , If I use property inspector and tick "Resize Rect when setting property" and change top,bottom,left or right property the rect changes shape in its fixed location as expected. In runtime the rect does not resize but moves location by setting property top,bottom,left or right ? Have I missed something ?? or this a bug ??
