LiveCode Forums

A while back I created a tool (DocEditorPlus) with Mark’s help (Widget Wizard) that let you parse the LCDOC files into a viewable format in your browser. It can also let you parse the docs out of your LCB files to check how they look without having to do a full build of the widget. https://github.co...

Does anyone know the relationship between these: https://livecode.com/resources/api/ https://milby.us/lc/docs/api.html and the inbuilt Dictionary inwith the IDE? Short answer is that it is static at the version I used to export the data. I’m hesitant to run the export on the commercial/licensed ver...

If Kindle can run Android apps then it should be able to run LC Android standalones. Can you sideload apps on a Kindle?

Have not tried recently but I did have an app I built loaded to my Kindle back at the San Jose conference.

Glad to hear you solved the issue. Did you stick with letterbox or change to none?

I’ve downloaded the stack and observed the issue. Hopefully I will get some time to work with it over the next few days. My initial solution didn’t pan out though (trying to figure out global coordinates for the scroller). I think you should be able to set the fullscreenmode upon arriving at the car...

There was a thread about this type of issue on the list a while back. I can't test right now, but this is what was used as part of the solution:

I can’t get on my computer to look right now but the problem that you are running into is that the mobile scroller uses the actual screen coordinates which becomes a math problem when using any fullscreenmode. Best way, in my opinion, is to write a resizeStack handler to adjust the layout.

Very correct. Internally, RETURN, LINEFEED, LF, and CR are synonyms that all evaluate to ASCII 10. It does not really matter when within LiveCode though (text in fields). When you import text into LC, the line delimiter is changed to 10 and that is what LC uses. When you save text, the value is chan...

Probably my tool: https://github.com/bwmilby/SvgIconTool LSON is just a serialized LiveCode array. I used it mainly as an easy way to facilitate exporting the data as a single file for each family. For an actual project, I would probably use a custom property in the main stack to store the data as s...

In a desktop app I would suggest a hidden browser widget. It may work for HTML5 too, but I've not tried it. The page loaded in the widget would hold your JS state. You would just need to set the JS handlers that would map to LC handlers. In your async example, the callback could be a JS function if ...

Have you tried the command?

I’ll echo what SparkOut said. I’ll add that the widget can be hidden. I’ve done a test that used some JS libraries but only tested on desktop.

A good read. Thank you for including the report link. FWIW the orientationChanged message is sent in a subset of cases where resizeStack is sent. Sometimes that narrow range is useful, but for layout resizeStack will handle more cases, including orientation change. We can view resizeStack as one-st...

One big difference that I notice is that on iOS you can draw behind the furniture (outside safe area, beside notch, under status bar) but those areas are outside the drawable rect on Android. I’ve not pulled up any Android sims with a notch though, so not as sure about them.

The actual problem with your demo stack is that it had the behaviors listed twice in the StackFiles. Once at the root level and once in the folder. This is what prevented them from being found and mapped properly as behaviors. If you delete the entries that are not in a folder, save, quit and relaun...
