LiveCode Forums

Never mind, I figured out the issue. Here's what I had to do if other people had the same issue: When you have "Search for required inclusions..." selected in the General tab in Standalone Settings, the mergX extensions are not properly included. You should select "Select inclusions for the standalo...

Chelling, Were you able to get mergDocShowPreview to work in recent versions of LiveCode? I haven't been able to get mergDoc to work with LiveCode 9.0.3. It looks like mergDoc isn't getting included with the standalone app when it is built. I saw your post in the other forum, but decided to reply to...

Bob, Yes, you're right. JSON specifications do not allow leading zeros on numbers without a decimal point. See section 8 on page 3 of http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/ECMA-404.pdf. LiveCode doesn't have this restriction on numbers, so when you do put 081105004 is a number...

Hi Matt, Whenever I need to do printing in an iOS app, I've always used Monte's mergDoc extension (http://mergext.com/home/mergdoc/). To print using mergDoc, you need to have a file that you want to print. If you're just printing the contents of a field, it wouldn't be too difficult to save the fiel...

Hi Razvan,

Check out the forum thread viewtopic.php?f=7&t=20444.
It's got a good explanation of how to take a picture, put it on the stack of the app, and then export that image to the mobile phone's internal memory.

Hope that helps,
Jacob

Hmm. What version of LC are you using? Before I upgraded to LC 7.0.5, my app would crash fairly erratically at startup, but the first start would always crash. This is just like your problem. But LC 7.0.5 fixed this issue for me. If you're not already using LC 7.0.5, I would upgrade to it. As far as...

Hi Media,

Which visual effects are you using? Only the reveal and scroll visual effects are supported on Android, according to the documentation.
Make sure you only use those if you're expecting to run the same code on iOS and Android.

Hope that helps,
Jacob

Hi Havanna, Have you tried testing the app on a physical iOS device? The App Store review team always tests on real devices, so that's likely why they are experiencing crashes that you don't see. It's pretty easy to download crash logs through XCode from a physical iPad or iPhone as long as you have...

Hi Monte, Thanks for the update. It's still not behaving as expected on iPads. It works pretty much the same as before. I still can't press the cancel or information button. The crash after 1 minute of not scanning a barcode doesn't happen anymore, so that's nice. I'm using XCode 6.2 and LC 7.0.4. T...

Hi Monte, did you ever make any progress on this? I'm still having the issue with MergZXing 1.2.11.

Dave is absolutely right! The screenRect function is working exactly as it should: it returns the size of the screen, not the card!
I would definitely recommend using the dimensions of the card (or the stack) for mobile development. It makes developing in the LiveCode IDE much easier.

Jacob

Hi R.J. When I develop mobile apps for Android, I always use the width and height of the current card to determine how to adjust the layout of that card. So in the resizeStack function I use: on resizeStack if the width of this card < the height of this card then resizePortrait else resizeLandscape ...

Hi Dixie,

I'm using and it's working fine for me. I just tested it on iOS 6 and iOS 8.
I'm using XCode 6.1.1 and LC 7.0.1.

Maybe the difference in LC versions is the problem. Have you tested it in LC 7.0.1?

Jean-Marc, Yes, that is a very good solution! I guess I didn't think of simply skinning a button and changing the image through code. This solution doesn't include the actual slide animation while dragging your mouse across it, but it's still a pretty good solution if you need a switch. fko, I'd loo...

Hi fko2, I assume you're looking for something like this: http://benjaminmayo.co.uk/images/19.png Which Apple calls a "switch" control. Right now, LiveCode does not support creating a native switch control with the mobileControlCreate function. This means that you'll need to download MobGUI or a sim...
