Buttons are easy, it is the awful black frames around fields and scroll bars. I wasn't able to change much, just the background. The interface is far from finished, obviously, but not much scope as you see in this android screen shot. The look I was hoping for. Screen 1.JPG What I ended up with. Scr...

I have just produced an APK to see how things fit and work on the phone screen and I was shocked at the appearance. It looks normal in Windows, the grey scroll bars and field areas are dreadful in Android. I have coloured the background and decided on white, but I can't see how the controls can be r...

First, I can install an earlier version of my project. Obviously the Java & Google thingies + the developer mode on the phone work fine. I tried several other apps written by others that feature a few of the code items that might be present in my project, but none of them install either. Other apps ...

As part of my project, I can put images in with the text in a text field. At the moment, everything is being done in a test stack for ease of working. I simply use this code to get and place the picture. To acquire the picture I use this. on mouseup local tHeight, twidth, NewWth, NewHt, Ratio, tempv...

The complete stack I attached earlier, a couple of posts up) is the final, working solution.

The final result of the challenge is in the attached ZIP
I tidied it up and made it so some other newbie can copy and paste the field, button and the scripts into their own project.

It is quite easy to follow I believe and I hope you find it interesting / useful.

Jmburnod, I think you are on the right lines here. Very imaginative. Your my kinda guy.
I see no actual downside to your idea, because once the link is created and correct, it won't need to change. Brilliant...

Hi, Craig. The act of adding or removing a link by touch or click of it prevents the option of clicking on it to run it. Adding the url code is fine, but how can you click on the link to run it if so doing removes or adds it. That is the problem here. Quailcreek, this text is not static or predictab...

I have been adding the facility of links to my project. The experimental code below works fine in the text field it is attached to when I want to create a link or remove an existing one. In so doing, I have no way to actually click and run the link. How is this typically done? on mouseup select the ...

Thank you all for the well received advice.
I think that is the answer.

From experts advice here on the Forum, and what I have read on the subject, constant cycling of an idle looping server slows down everything else running on that computer. No doubt someone has a better idea than this, or has invented it already, but what do you think? My server could just do one pas...

Thank you, I understand. I am familiar with vector graphics.
It seemed like the bar they were in had particular significance.

I wonder what the point of SVG icons are.
Why are they better than simple images used as buttons?
I have tried reading up on them, and tried to use them, but it seems more trouble than they are worth.
Obviously, I am missing something.

I thank you kind and knowledgeable people for your explanation. However, it is fair to say that I don't know what I am doing and the jargon like sockets and widget etc.is over my head. But none-the-less, the bare bones project is up and running nicely. I used a bit of timer code that I popped into a...
