Depends on the data, the frequency, the endpoint, the service, etc. We're gathering and sending light amounts of data, periodically, from 100k+ phones over cellular networks. We put the data into JSON format, encrypt it, and auth the server before sending it. Depending on how many concurrent users y...

Found the "best" way to do it, and by best I mean speed optimized. Don't use native splash screen, and don't use a separate card. On preOpenCard create a splash screen group, on openCard show the group. Do your draws/create graphics, initialize all settings, and when they are finished, hide the spla...

solved. Instead of setting visible the object, use show or hide "with visual effect".

I am looking through the documentation about mobileControlCreate and mobileControlSet and I don't see any layer or grouping properties, only that you can really set them to visible or not, suggesting they sit on top of the card/stack. Is there a way to group / layer these controls?

perhaps:

I've set a group to layer top, and set the lockLoc of the layer to true. Subsequent controls I create are on top of the desired top group. Is there a way to keep a layer at the top and force new layers to be created underneath without constantly sending set layer messages?

I want to know if there is any qualitative difference between locking a screen and creating controls vs creating an invisible group and doing the control creation in it? If there really is not difference, wouldn't this be preferable when performing animations concurrent to creating items, rather tha...

Is it possible to have two cards open concurrently? I want card #2 to be running while card #1 is displayed.

The bottomline is that the dictionary runs about 2 to 5 seconds behind the user activity even on very ample resources, resulting in misclicks and an extremely frustrating experience, and it seems to be because it is overly sophisticated trying to be predictive/reactive in its controls.

handler scrollerDidScroll occurs for all mobileControl native scrollers. If you have more than one scroller, it does not distinguish. Is there a good way to find out what control the message scrollerDidScroll is referencing?

I would just be happy with a version of the dictionary that doesn't have instant search / crash the IDE. If that means a PDF, so be it.

Worked. Thanks!

wrote script into a command that would delete and recreate the button but ran into a similar issue but in a different form: Type Chunk: can't delete object Object application Line if there is a button buttonName then delete button buttonName Hint animateMenuClose Is there a way to escape the message...

Discovered the issue, I think. The error is dependent upon executing the script assigned to the button. Message path was mouseUP on button "MenuButton1" calling a command that called a command that would modify the script of button "MenuButton1", thus making it a self-modifying handler that violates...
