Hi Neil,

Do you have an example stack with such an update card? Or explain it in a bit more detail?
I can't quite imagine how something like that would work and how the app structure would need to change for it.

Thanks,
Werner

Hi Neil, yes, that is helpful, but it still leaves a few of my questions unanswered. Let's say I have the user data for the app in a stack in the documents folder, and I access that stack when the app starts. Let's further say that the app update changed something related to the user data and I need...

Thank you, Neil, that is helpful!

I understand that now you can have different images for different screen densities and LC can choose them if named correctly and referenced in a certain way. What should be the attributes of the images for the different resolutions/densities? For example, do I just create the same image with four ti...

How do I implement app updates for users that have my app installed? I can imagine that an app that was installed manually in a desktop environment could possibly update itself, but I have no idea how it works with app stores. I guess it may depend on the platform. Is there an option that works on a...

Hi Neil, thank you for your response and the sample stack. I finally got around to trying to incorporate it into my app, and I am having issues with the native scroller. The touch gestures already worked before adding the native scroller. My tests are primarily on the Android simulator, using LC 6.5...

Hi Neil, thank you for the explanation. I didn't have a specific command in mind. There was just the idea that native commands might allow you to do a copy or paste in native, so I was curious about the general idea. I understand that security is often tighter in mobile environments. I am more famil...

Is it possible to control both vertical scrolling for a text that's longer than the current screen, and horizontal swipe to put the next text into the same field (assuming I have a list of texts I want to switch between, and each one can be more than one screen)? The issue I see is that it seems the...

Thank you for the follow-up, Neil. It looks good on iOS. I would like to have my app work both on iOS and Android, and writing an Android external for it is beyond my scope at this time. Seems I have to put this part of the app on the back burner for now - hopefully the functionality will become ava...

I looked into it a bit more, and the workaround only seems to work for copy-and-paste between LC fields, but not between other apps and an LC app. Is there some kind of workaround that would at least allow me to place the text from a LC field onto the mobile clipboard? E.g. copying the text to a hid...

As a follow-up to my issue and Neil's response: I found a reasonable workaround for the issue. Not sure how ideal it is in general, but it seems to work pretty well for me as it doesn't introduce too many changes from the code for the other platforms and the card layout can stay the same. I am shari...

A couple of comments on the Q&A responses: When I submitted a ticket about the Idea2App forum not showing up in the forum list, Heather responded that only forum admins see the "Private" section that was mentioned here. As none of us participants are admins, we have to use direct links. If there is ...

Hi Neil, thank you for your help! That solved most of the issue. I do have some follow-up questions: 1. In your post you say that modal stacks are not supported on mobile. LC documentation for Android (and iOS) states: The modal command can also still be used, and will cause the calling handler to b...

In this app I open a card in a second stack modal on top of the primary stack. This works as expected in all pc environments and in the iOS simulator. In the Android simulator a part that contains a label and a button is not displayed when the card is open. In that place a piece of the underlying ca...

Thank you, Neil, I will check it out.
