O-o-o-o... what's that little button on the left side above the volume control buttons on this iPhone 6? Oh wait a minute... it's a MUTE button. My bad everybody... I'm an Android person and had just got a hand-me-down iPhone 6 from my daughter that I'm using to test and develop LC apps on. Thanks f...

LC 8.1.1 (stable) iMac OSX 10.12.1 XCode 8.1 (This combination allows me to build on the iPhone) This is the code used on LC's website as an example. Created a simple 1 button script to test but I can't get the sound to play on iOS. This stack works fine on Android phone/PC/Mac desktop but not iPhon...

Sorry for this long post but I felt I needed to clarify what I'm trying to do as a lot of the responses were going astray. This project is for MOBILE PHONES only. 1. Download simple/plain text file. 2. Get an EXACT count of the number of words in this text file. 3. Show the text of this file one wor...

Thanks Jean-Marc for your suggestion however there was no improvement in the amount of time it took to change the font size.

This is all I'm doing... on mousedown set the lockscreen to TRUE if the textsize of field "TheText" = 12 then set the textsize of field "TheText" to 14 else if the textsize of field "TheText" = 14 then set the textsize of field "TheText" to 16 else if the textsize of field "TheText" = 16 then set th...

Yes it takes (for me anyway) over 5 seconds for my Android app on a Samsung Note 4 to change the textsize of a field containing 70,000 words. I assume you are talking about it taking 8 ticks for you on a desktop?

Yes I did set the lockscreen to TRUE. I did not make any difference in how long it took for the font size of a field to be changed.

On Android mobile devices... OK I realize this is a lot of text in a text field (70,000 words, 400k plain text file size) but the process of changing the font or font size (set the textsize of field "Whatever" to 14) takes over 5 seconds. I guess this would not be so bad if I had a way to show a pro...

Well the problem with using the keyword "trueword" to determine the number of words between quotation marks is that it returns the first and last words between the quotes without the quotation mark itself. Example: "Here is some-text between quotes." The first Livecode trueword is: Here... not "Here...

I appeal to the forum experience and intellect... Task: I need to download a .txt file from my website, put it in a variable, and then show the text "one WORD at a time". The text has hundreds and hundreds of quotes with quotation marks in it. Livecode treats all text between quotation marks as a si...

Scoured the forums and the internet for many many too many days looking for a bullet proof way for LC 8 to give me the real IP address of a mobile device running the app. The real IP address of my android phone is "10.xxx.x.xxx". Both of these handlers below return the correct IP addresses on deskto...

Running an LC 8 app on an android/iPhone phone. Need to detect if WIFI is either on or off. I know I could try to download a file from a server but that would not tell me if it was over wireless or 3G/4G. Anybody know of a way to do this? Would be nice to be able to tell if wireless is not on, which...

Using LC 8 DP16 Guess it's just an oversight in updating the online dictionary not indicating that mobile sockets are in place. But made me question that since I was having a problem with mobile sockets working. I can't get a simple socket client which is running on an Android smartphone to connect ...

Creating a Livecode app that is SUBSCRIPTION based... $5-$10/annual. Yes, very inexpensive... it's used by students/teachers. Want it to run on Mac/PC desktops and Android/iPhones. Presently not interested in it able to run on tablets. Would upload app to Apple/Google store. Really trying to avoid w...

The short of it... I don't have an iPhone to test/develop iOS apps in LiveCode... - Don't need to use the phone part of an iPhone. I just need to be able to use WIFI on it. - Want a REAL iPhone, no virtual software emulator or iPad (need to see how things look on the smaller screen). - Very happy wi...
