Monte: While It is different than a normal LC external, in the mobile realm that isn't games we rely on presence, background services, automated test intrumentation, and other resources that make it necessary. The ability to apply 3rd party code to specific intents, which is the purpose of the manif...

I would be willing to offer a bounty for the development proposed by SamanthaLC. We need access to android's JNI.

There is not a way to do it currently via Livecode, but you could create an app that instead launches livecode and handles the bits as the JNI interface. I would be willing to pay a bounty to have someone work on this, but what it really requires is access to the core parts of livecode which aren't ...

It is not possible currently because LiveCode devs have not implemented running services / processes. All livecode apps for mobile get suspended when they don't have focus. Want to change that? Say something here: http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=16321

Thanks Neil!

I have created a valid provisioning profile for an iPad 1, and it is present in my Xcode PP library, and LiveCode also shows a green box in Preferences|Mobile Settings and iOS SDK/Sims for 5.1 and 6.1 are installed, and my iPad device is in developer mode. I have also specified for my app to use the...

It can't currently be done via livecode alone, is the bottomline.

LiveCode will need to make some changes to do this, but here is how it is done. 0. Add custom external binary to run as a process 1. Open compiled APK binary 2. Modify manifest to change invoker intent 3. Make the intent as a process that calls the external binary then keeps following the invocation...

Three solutions to be had here: 1. Change your image to a smaller size. 2. Change your image compression method: PNG 8-bit if it uses only full transparency, PNG 24-bit if it needs feathered transparency, JPG if it is a photo 3. Use accelerated graphics and smaller processing tiles for compositor, p...

LiveCode applications get Suspended, at least on android. They do not keep running in the background.

In order to use local event notifications and track 24-hour rollover periods, i need my app to be running in the background even when it isn't front screen. How is this accomplished in livecode?

Not impossible at all, LiveCode is new to mobile so not everything needed is yet in place, and most of the LiveCode focus seems to be on iOS. I suspect we'll get access to those things in an update. For serious system-level functionality, you can make a custom external in your favorite language to d...

Discovered mobilePlaySoundOnChannel is respecting android device's Media volume level, not the Ringer volume level. This is why it still plays with full loudness even when the user has their phone set to silent. I have confirmed that iphonePlaySoundOnChannel does not work for android, tested on mutl...

Can't be done with LiveCode. LC only knows its own channel volumes that it creates. To control the audio settings of the android system, you need to interface to the android java API. You currently cannot do that with LiveCode to my knowledge, but you can write an extension to another app you write ...

I have a multidimensional array that is extremely long and prone to syntax errors. I would like to take the keys at a particular dimension and make them locals for processing, and store their array value as the value for that variable. The problem is that I am creating variable names from variables ...
