Re: Does exporting a snapshot from a rect work on mobile?

[Jonathan Lynch via use-livecode]

KeyboardActivated is working. However, getting the effective working screenrect 
is not producing a result different from the screenrect, meaning it does reveal 
the available space after the keyboard pops up.

Re: Does exporting a snapshot from a rect work on mobile?

[Roger Eller via use-livecode]

Well, since the bug report indicates that keyboardActivated/keyboardDeactivated
messages were added to Android, if they are not working please report it.
If you want to just use a general rule for a 'safe zone', then prompting at
the top of the screen should work fine.

Re: Does exporting a snapshot from a rect work on mobile?

[Jonathan Lynch via use-livecode]

Hi Roger - yup, this problem affects other development environments too. Many 
have complained about it online. I currently force the input into the top half 
of the screen. Do you think I should force it even higher?

I could just make the input go to the very top when a user enters it.

 I tried the follow script:
 
 on mouseUp
 
 create field "test height"
 
 select after field "test height"
 
 send getEWSR to me in 1 second
 
 end mouseUp
 
 on getEWSR
 
 answer the effective working screenrect
 
 delete field "test height"
 
 end getEWSR
 
 
 it still returns the same screenrect that I get without using "effect
 working", which is the screenrect of the device.
 
 
 Any other ideas?

 Mark, in my app, in the place in question, the keyboard is activated by a
 browser widget. Is it possible that this means it is not sending a signal

Re: Does exporting a snapshot from a rect work on mobile?

[Roger Eller via use-livecode]

This appears to be an old problem (2012).  I don't know if there was ever a
solution.  A best practice was to position any input fields in the top
third of the screen.  I agree with the consensus that it should be handled
automatically, but it is not, obviously.

Re: Does exporting a snapshot from a rect work on mobile?

[Jonathan Lynch via use-livecode]

Hi Jacqueline,

Sadly, that did not help. It received the KeyboardActivated message, and I had 
it check the effective working screenrect both at that point and again in a 
handler set to trigger a second later. They all return results as if the 
keyboard is not there.

This is on a galaxy tab E, with the OS from 2015, so it might just be that this 
tablet is not very good. However, I need the app to work on most android 
devices.

When I get a more powerful machine, I might test a few of these things again. I 
can make it do different things depending whether a particular OS resource is 
available.

Thanks!

J

Re: Does exporting a snapshot from a rect work on mobile?

What happens if you check the effective working screenrect in a 
keyboardActivated handler?

I tried the follow script:

select after field "test height"

send getEWSR to me in 1 second

end mouseUp

on getEWSR

answer the effective working screenrect

delete field "test height"

end getEWSR


it still returns the same screenrect that I get without using "effect

Any other ideas?

...and not just answering questions, but expounding on the reasoning 
behind existing features/bugs and brainstorming about work in progress 
and ideas for new features. In my experience this level of support is 
unheard of practially anywhere else. I've gotten spoiled by it.

Re: Does exporting a snapshot from a rect work on mobile?

[Jonathan Lynch via use-livecode]

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately, the screen rect and the effective working screen rect return the 
exact same results on this Android device - 0,0,800,1280.

Do you have any other suggestions for determining the keyboard height on 
Android? I am willing to pursue my hack, but it is a pretty rough hack.

I have not tried that - wow, that could really help. I will check later today!

Have you tried 'the [[effective] working] screenRect'?

I think 'the effect working screenRect' should give you the portion of 
the screen not covered by furniture and the keyboard.


Warmest Regards,

Mark.

Re: Does exporting a snapshot from a rect work on mobile?

[Jonathan Lynch via use-livecode]

Hi Mark,

I am trying to hack together a way to detect the height of the keyboard on 
Android. My plan is to have an image 1-pixel wide, but full height of the 
screen, with an rgb color of 0,0,1. 

If the snapshot includes the keyboard, then the image data of the snapshot will 
include a point where the color changes to something other than 0,0,1. I can 
use that point to calculate how high the keyboard is.

Yes, this is a ridiculous hack, but I do not see another solution.

I can work with getting a snapshot just from the browser widget, for my 
particular case. As long as it also includes the keyboard in the image.

I still have to test for that.

Thanks for looking into this issue.

Turns out this works quite well! It certainly manages to capture
a browser widget on iOS which is displaying the google homepage.

There is still a possibility that some views will not be captured
so some experimentation might be needed, however I've patched it
for inclusion in 8.1.7-rc-1 - so you'll be able to try it out there.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.

This is http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9992 - back when 
this was reported there was no way to do as you are wanting. However, it 
seems like since then there is a new way to get a snapshot of the 
screen:


https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiview/1622589-drawviewhierarchyinrect

So we can try that to fix the problem (it might still not work for some 
layer types).


Warmest Regards,

Mark.

Re: Does exporting a snapshot from a rect work on mobile?

[Jonathan Lynch via use-livecode]

Thanks for checking Paul. It appears that, with a browser widget on screen, I 
am only getting an image from the parts of the screen with the browser widget.

With import snapshot, the non-browser parts of the image are transparent (and 
black). With exporting a snapshot to a variable and putting that variable into 
an image, the non-browser parts are visible but black.

I will do more exploring and file a bug report if I can isolate the issue more.

I just ran a quick test and it works OK for me using LC8.1.6 on MacOS Sierra 
10.12.6, build for iOS10 and tested on iPhone 5s running iOS10.3.3
