Re: one liner needed to filter file list

Thank you for the solution, Klaus. When you say, "outside the APK", if I keep all data in the same folder as the APK or the installed program, will this be OK? Several years ago, I created an Android app in Livecode and the data file and settings were in the same folder. It worked, so I suppose this...

one liner needed to filter file list

put the files into field "Template List" puts ALL the files in the current folder into the list. I would prefer to show ONLY the file names in that folder that contain the word "Template" or "template" I could of course do a subsequent filtering of the full list to achieve just the names with templa...

UpToDate pre-requisites for android app needed

I see Build for: (and various ARM processors listed) but no guidance relating them to the actual phone processor. Example Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 Octa Core... which item to tick? Surely Java and Android tools should be the latest for modern phones? The Pinned post suggests Java 8. Is this right? Is ...

Re: Win 11 issue

I asked Microsoft to poke around under the bonnet and they eventually got rid of it. It is fair to say that Win 11 is riddled with issues and of course, huge improvements are claimed by MS as they 'do things differently' so they can put them back later as they were and claim progress. As a very casu...

Win 11 issue

Having just installed Livecode 9.6.4 on a Windows 11 O/S, I cannot uninstall it.
After clicking the Uninstall button a message says, "Cannot run this App on this PC."
I would restore, but it isn't showing in the list and would uninstall Win 11 modules.
Any advice please?

Re: SOLVED: Can't display the QRCode generated with qrCreate

I needed a QR code generator and rather than go on line, I found this for LC
I copied and pasted this as a stack and it worked perfectly in the editor, but does nothing when made into an EXE.
Did anyone else find this issue?
Win 10 Version 2004 OS build 19041.388
Running LC Community 9.6
Thanks

Re: Graphic help needed

I am overjoyed with what you did. Thanks Sparkout. I see what you mean about the anomalies with the lines, but usually, the cause is easy to find when you have a clear issue to hunt down. I admit I was a bit despondent with my efforts because of the slow refresh and although I realised what was wron...

Re: Graphic help needed

Whilst far from complete, also the symmetry maths is wrong, I have progressed to something that can be seen. All due to the amazing help and support from you guys. Things still to do:- For the second half of the display, 180 to 360, it needs mirroring vertically so it is a cardioid, not yin Yan. You...

Re: Hiding code in a button in a commercial version of LiveCode

I wonder if this suggestion might work?
Years ago, I developed a large programme in modules. The main part was effectively buttons that triggered the called exe module. Nothing wonderful, but perhaps your script could become an ex, called by your button?

Re: Graphic help needed

You seem to have solved my problem beautifully, Sparkout. A quick test seems to have calmed my worry that 360 divisions might be restrictive. In reality, even a 4K screen is unlikely to show greater detail than 360 points can resolve. I looked to see what happened when mathematically the answer was ...

Re: Graphic help needed

Hi dunbarx, Unlike the hands of a clock where the lines radiate from the centre, my lines run from peripheral points to other peripheral points. I would gladly show you pictures, but that hasn't been switched on for me. Take one line for example. It might be calculated that a line forming a pattern ...

Re: Graphic help needed

I am finding a wealth of leads to info in the dictionary now, with your stack. I can see our different approaches in code that seem to lead to a similar result, and yours gives a fuller picture of what is needed. My rays don't emanate from the central point but like the numerals on a clock face, dep...

Re: Graphic help needed

Thank you all. I can understand the issue now. I have noticed the naming aspect as the items appear in the Project Browser. I have since progressed with a circle and no issues, having adapted the working code supplied by Sparkout. The trigonometry part is the easiest, for me, and I hope to have the ...

Re: Graphic help needed

Thank you Craig and Sparkout for your assistance. I wish I knew where you got your code information, I prefer to understand how things work rather than copy and paste. I will press on with the suggestions you kindly made and see if I can move on with this experiment. Regarding my own code, I remain ...

Re: Graphic help needed

Why would that be a reasonable behaviour? The computation is as new, each time the button is clicked. Why is there any carry over of anything to create a rectangle in a different location than the coordinates for the line. Whilst not part of this thread, even the editor is dodgy because often I have...
