We know how important it is to make native user interfaces easier/better on every single platform. Check out our Kickstarter Stretch Goal for Native Themes - we're working on this now: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1755283828/open-source-edition-of-livecode/posts/414431 I'm more than happy th...

BTW if you use a PNG image for your background is there a way to get this to resize as well?

This is only 1 possible way to do it, there are more. Hello, There have been many requests on how to handle resizing of stacks for multiple resolutions and frankly I'm tired of answering them. Here is a script that will scale and position your controls proportionally. on mouseUp put the height of t...

Thanks - that scaling script is very impressive. I just created a screen with random buttons, boxes and some PNG buttons and they resize pretty well. I am extremely impressed. Square PNG Buttons scale pretty well, circular ones look a little rough around the edges but I see increasing the quality se...

That resizing script is pretty clever, actually it's pretty amazing that it's not built right into LiveCode, The ability to resize the text and perhaps keep the aspect ratio consistent by adding some padding to the top / bottom or left and right would be perfect ... no idea how to do that myself. Bu...

I want to do a mobile phone App for both iOS and Android. But I'm still beginning in my learning of LiveCode The App is pretty much an digital version of an existing book which I have in PDF Format but with added links to YouTube videos, Twitter Feeds, etc If I pick the dimensions of an iPhone 4 as ...

All I want to do is create a few buttons that sits on an Android Desktop and when you press it it either opens up another App or goes to a website

Is this possible in LiveCode?

If so, how do you go about saving a LiveCode project as and Android Widget rather then a regular App?

If you meant to replace on preOpenStack if the environment is "mobile" then set the compositorCacheLimit of this stack to 4 * 25 * (4 * (item 1 of the screenLoc) * (item 2 of the screenLoc)) set the compositorTileSize of this stack to 128 switch the platform case "iphone" set the compositorType of t...

Can this be made to work on Android as well?

When I tried to compile an APK File for Android I got the reply not supported on this platform

Anyway I have to say thank you very much for all your help. I managed to create something which was able to read the weather data reliably, and do something with that data. That in itself is something I'd have struggled to do with any other kind of mobile phone app creation system. It was nice to cr...

Hi, We're now more than a year later and two books have appeared. The first book is about mobile development by Colin Holgate . The other book is Programming LiveCode for Real Beginners , by me, and is aimed at desktop development due to its nature. The two books together should be all you need to ...

BTW where do you go to find a PDF user manual for Android & iOS? I've seen some online lessons but sometimes you need a proper book. I just downloaded and searched the LiveCode user manual (Document revision 19 dated 2010.11.09) and there's not one word mentioned about Android, Mobile Phones, etc. I...

Is there a way to search the ENTIRE LiveCode Dictionary for a keyword not just the command?

For instance I typed in the word "internet" into the dictionary and got back a single result

But what I'd like to see is a list of every command which mentions the word internet in the comments section

I think there are many issues when looking at making money from iOS vs Android The iPhone was unique when it first came out but these days it's an expensive luxury item compared to Android phones. These days If you choose to buy an iPhone over an Android phone then you're probably the kind of person...

Hi Joseph.. I just tried your code on an iphone... it works without any problems.... the only alteration that I made to your code is that I declared your variable by placing 'local' in front of 'sPlayerID' on the first line... I've attached the stack... be well Dixie I tried to save the attached Li...
