Craig, Thanks for taking the time to reply. For now I’ve found a way around what I was trying to achieve, avoiding the use of groups, but I’m trying to improve my understanding for the future. I was trying to achieve a set / row of buttons that could be repeated on one card but also could be on more...

But you could have a preOpenCard handler that sets the group's rect to anything you like before it's rendered. That's a good idea - thanks. That would set it the same for all the other other cards but that wouldn't matter since only one card is in view. I'd just need to set the position in script t...

Is it possible to have: 1) repeat occurrences of a group on a card? 2) a group that appears in different positions on different cards? The case I have in mind has many occurrences of the group so being able to change one occurrence and have that replicated to all the others is important. Thanks for ...

To cut to the chase I found that by inserting this one line in the card’s preOpenCard handler for just one button made all the buttons use the intended behavior stack script: set the behavior of button "myButton1" to the long id of stack "myButton Behavior" I had done this when creating the button i...

OK - I've been looking at the commands that run when the second card is opened before I go to the problem card for a second time & then see it working. I have an idea what's happening. I'll test it & try & summarize when I'm sure what's going on.

I have some buttons on a card. The behavior of all the buttons is set to the same script-only stack and works as expected in the IDE. For my Android standalone however, the first time I visit the card and click on any of the buttons nothing happens. If I go to another card then back to the card with...

Before I go ahead and write my own I was wondering if there was anything out there to help me gather usage stats for an Android app developed with Levure? The app will be running on tablets that are not connected to any network so all usage data needs to be stored on the tablet. The basic data I'd l...

MaxV, Thanks for your last post & sorry for the delay. On mobile all the files selected to include in your app, from the Standalone application settings, are copied in specialFolderPath("Engine"). Well my case is special in that I will be personally installing my app on the few devices that will be ...

Try this: https://mega.nz/#!pJwhgCQR!8RJRc6k79p-_ ... 9zYgU44rsg Thanks MaxV - your code worked for me. And now I understand what you meant by the browser widget - I thought on mobile you had to use mobileControlCreate “browser”. However to be useful in the app I'm developing I really need to pass ...

Thank you MaxV. Look forward to seeing your results.

All the best,
Jim

Hi Trevor, Thanks for the suggestion. I spent a lot of time a few months back (pre-Levure) trying to get a simulator for my target Android device working satisfactorily. Gave up in the end when I saw how quick & easy it was to test on the real thing using the Test button. The app I'm working on will...

Trevor, Testing on an Android device using the uninstall - build apk - install apk works reliably. I'm doing it all the time using the method described in the wiki. We talked a while back in this thread (Jun 15) about the Test button. It would really speed things up if that could work for an Levure ...

Thierry,

Thanks for the information. I've found a link that confirms what you say:

Did you see it on the use-livecode mailing list or has it been publicised elsewhere too?

Best wishes,
Jim

I have LiveCode Community 8.1.6 which I downloaded & installed on 4 Aug (I'm pretty sure it was labelled as "stable"). I just ran the LiveCode updater & it tells me updates are available. Highlighted is 8.1.6-gm-2. The message starts with LiveCode 8.1.6. is now available The release notes for the la...

Hi MaxV, Thanks for your suggestion. I wish it would work for me but it doesn't! Before my last post I had tried similar to your suggestion with the supplied default PDF and another one in the web folder and changing DEFAULT_URL to point at them. The result is always the same - a blank PDF viewer bu...
