Thank you Mark , that makes it clear.

Guess i did investigate good enough on the ARM versions.


The arch index is a good idea, somtehing similair is also what i saw
inthe Google explanation on multiple APK's to have a version nr where
the position of the nr identifies what version and for what
architecture it is, like also commonly is used with serial nr's from
tv's for example.

I will create a feature request.

Thanks very much.

Best regards,

Jerry

yes every APK needs to have a different/higher Version Code. And keep

LiveCode only supports Android 4.x and above, and all devices which 
run
4.x have at the very least an ARMv7 processor - so there isn't any 
need
for a ARMv6 device build anymore (hence why it has been removed in 
9.5).



Is it possible as feature, that there can be a checkbox added, so you
can choose to have separate builds instead of one multiple build when
more then 1 build is chosen?


That would be quite a useful thing to have - perhaps a check-box which
'builds separate APKs' on the standalone settings pane. It could also
do something to derive a new versionCode (they all have to be 
different).

e.g.

APK-versionCode = S/B-specified-versionCode * 10 + arch-index

   arch-index = 0 (ARMv7), 1 (ARM64), 2 (x86), 3 (x86-64)

That would save having to specify (by hand) several different 
versionCodes

for each build.

Could you file an enhancement request for such an option, and we can 
see what

we can do.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.

Re: slow slower slowest scroll on Android

2019-05-30 Thread Sphere via use-livecode

Thank you Ralph and Monte,


i've read some things about multiple APK's on Google dev. "Lucky" we 
don't need to use the Google signing, it's optional. We can just use the 
Java keystore.


There is also mentioned what you say Ralph in respect of the different 
cpu and other possible dependencies.


Perhaps for the older ARMv6 devices we may need 5 versions, but like you 
said Google play will push the best APK option for the device. And yes 
every APK needs to have a different/higher Version Code. And keep in 
check which Version Code you used for which type of APK.


Also when Google signing is used there is an option to have dependencies 
build, but probably that is only useful for users of Android Studio.So 
then only the parts being needed are installed, as far as i understood 
it.



Thanks Monte for confirming it, that it will push the build upon the 
target architecture.


Is it possible as feature, that there can be a checkbox added, so you 
can choose to have separate builds instead of one multiple build when 
more then 1 build is chosen?



Indeed that would be a nice addition you proposed.

Jerry

Yes the deploy library (Test button) uses an adb command to detect the
target device architecture and just builds that no matter what you
have selected in the standalone settings. This means you can leave
armv7 and arm64 selected for release builds and the Test button will
deploy x86 if you are targeting an x86 emulator.

Note I just created this enhancement request to add the target
architecture in parenthesis after the target name in the menu.

RE: slow slower slowest scroll on Android

2019-05-29 Thread Ralph DiMola via use-livecode
Jerry,

First of all... The armv7 will work on all architectures. The Intels have an
arm emulator that in my tests are about 7-10 times slower than a native
Intel build. Arm 64 will only work on 64 bit arm architectures. Intel will
work on all Intel architectures and Intel 64 will work on only 64 bit
Intels. (I think a have this straight)

Testing: If you push all 4 types to a test device the test device will use
the best architecture. This will make the apk huge and some devices have a
apk size limit. The build/install also takes longer. When testing use only
one architecture and pick the best for your test device.

PlayStore distribution: If you build 1 apk for all 4 architectures the apk
will be huge and you may exceed the max apk limit for some devices. The best
way is to build 4 apks one for each architecture. Up the version code by at
least 1 for each build. Upload and release all 4 apks to production on the
PlayStore. When a user installs your app from the PlayStore the best apk for
their device will be installed. This makes for a faster/less data install
for users.

The restrictions for multiple apks on the PlayStore is 1) the version codes
must be different 2) the apks must not target duplicate architectures. This
is why you can have 4 apks in production at the same time.

Wow, what a difference does it make.

I saw that the setting was container again so i let it that way.

Turned off the nice border glow around the grid, turned border off and set
it to zero (the latter won't make difference i guess.)

This is how it should be. Thanks for pointing me to it Monte/Brian.

So in standalone i only now had the ARM64 selected and then build it in
dev/test mode.

(What will it push to the phone if all 4 options are selected? does it check
what is connected?)


This looks very good. Now i want to test further with the grid 
containing images and text fields, see how that performs.

Jerry

Re: slow slower slowest scroll on Android

2019-05-28 Thread Tom Glod via use-livecode
Hi Jerry. please let us know if the scroll ever looks normal and stops
being "Livecody".

sigh.

Its for this reason why I don't really consider Livecode a legit mobile
development platform. Its THE best for desktop, but on mobile its still got
too many warts.  Every time i use the LC dictionary app I literally cringe
at the text rendering and "scrolling".

Can't wait for something that feels like its modern or at least 2010 ish.

rant over.

Re: slow slower slowest scroll on Android

2019-05-28 Thread JJS via use-livecode

The DG2's where in container mode, now i've set them in scroller.

Made an ARM64 with LC950dp1-Indy, now it is getting faster, still not 
great, still stuttering but faster.. The field is a bit faster and the 
answer even more faster.


The rows have fixed heights.

I can try with a native field. On another stack i'm working on i have 2 
native fields of which one is scrolling and the other not, so i have to 
check what is going on there.


But for this one, the field is over the whole card almost with 
informative text. If the native field is not working well then i will 
change it to also an answer pop-up instead of a card.


Also when swiping up when lifting up your finger it sees it as a 
mouseUp. Have to see what i can do about that.



Regards,

Jerry

For the DG2 benefits, the containing group for the DG needs to be in container

something that comes with 9.5 DP 1.

For the field, you may see better performance if you make it a native field.

For the DG2 benefits, the containing group for the DG needs to be in container 
mode.  Also, the biggest benefit will be seen with fixed height rows.  This is 
something that comes with 9.5 DP 1.

For the field, you may see better performance if you make it a native field.

Re: slow slower slowest scroll on Android

2019-05-28 Thread JJS via use-livecode

Hi Jacque and Ralph,


this was a stack build on lc904 Indy and acceleratedrendering is true as 
the important issues were fixed.


It was already slow on the previous phone ARMv6 quad core.

Oopsa i forgot to set the mentioned field and DG2's to scrolling (but i 
did not know if it had much influence)


And the influence is minor, still it is stuttering, and even the simple 
field is not great.


It's no comparison with an Answer pop-up.

Will try a 64bit next, but then again even on a quad core it should 
scroll smoother.



Regards,

Jerry
