Hi Jaques, Based on your response I'm starting to think this is indeed a bug. I put in the timed send command and still got the wrong orientation from mobileOrientation(). I increased the time over several iterations until I got to 1 second with the same result. If you get some time, could you try t...

Mark and Jacque, Thanks for your replies. I have commented out the "go to splashcreen card" in the mainstack's on OpenStack, and put in the following: put mobileOrientation() into tOrientation answer "the orientations is" && tOrientation as the very first statement in the on OpenStack of the mainsta...

Hi Bernd,

Thanks for your reply. That's very disappointing news. Hopefully it will be supported soon.

Best Regards,

Daryl

Hi Jacque and Mark and thanks for your replies. Both of you were right, once I added the updateInterface handler the error message stopped and the tablet display actually changes to the correct orientation. However I'm still having a problem during startup in that whatever way I am holding the table...

Folks, I have an application that opens a socket and talks to a network server, and this works on the desktop, but not on android. In the Standalone Application Settings General section I have included "Internet" under the Script Libraries, and in the Android section I have checked the "Internet" ch...

Folks, I'm working with a Galaxy 2 tablet and trying to learn about device orientation. I added the following message handler as described in the dictionary: on orientationChanged put mobileDeviceOrientation() into theOrientation updateInteface theOrientation -- update the interface to fit the new o...

Hi Jan, Thanks for your reply. When you have the time you might want to look at the zlib utility functions that work with their stream-oriented functions. The API documentation is available at: http://zlib.net/manual.html#Utility Please let me know if I can be of any help, or assistance. Best Regard...

@RunRevMark,

Thanks for your reply. If I can help in any way, please let me know. I'm a fairly decent (if a bit rusty) C programmer, and totally unfamiliar with LiveCode's interfaces and APIs, but if I can help in any way I'd be glad to contribute some time.

Regards,

Daryl

Folks, For anyone wanting to follow this issue, and to not post the same thing twice, I have posted my followup to the Engine Contributors forum at: http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=15576&p=78769#p78769 as I am hoping to see if it might be possible to add a LiveCode interface to the zli...

Dear Folks, RunRevMark is quite right in saying there is nothing wrong with the revZip functions (as far as I know). I was just trying to be creative in exploring ways to get around the lack of a deflate (from memory) function in LiveCode. I have talked with the developer of the server-side code. Th...

Thanks Guys for your replies, > ... Do you have control over the sending mechanism as well? i.e., can you force it to use a different compression algorithm? Yes, but it's not my code so I will consult tomorrow with the developer to get more detailed information. It is my understanding that the code ...

Hi Folks, I have recently posted a question to the beginners forum titled "Inflating ZIP Deflated data string ", which I won't repeat here, but I have another angle I am trying on this problem, and was hoping maybe someone with more experience might be able to help. The issue is this: I have to read...

Hi Folks, I asked this a little while back and was referred to the revZip functions, however after reviewing the documentation (there does not appear to be much beyond what is in the dictionary) and playing with the functions I'm not sure this is the way to go. The revZip functions seem to only work...

Hi mwieder, Thanks for your reply I will have to look into the revZipXXX functions, and thanks for the shell code example, I was starting to think I might have to do something like that, but wasn't sure how it's done in LiveCode. Hopefully the revZip functions will have what I need. Thanks again. Re...

Hi Folks, I've been digging around the documentation trying to find an answer, without any success, so I am hoping someone here can lend their expertise. I need to uncompress some zlib compressed data in a container. I've tried using the decompress function, but I get an error about the data not bei...
