browser widget - android deployment
Hi,
I am working on an Android app that should have a chat functionality included. My idea was to use the browser widget and set its URL to the tlk.io chat service, for example this one: https://tlk.io/test
It works fine in the LC development environment which is running on MacOS Sierra, but when I deploy the app to my Android phone it doesnt work. The URL is loaded, but the chat won't function. I have played with the standalone application settings, and the inclusions but I cannot get it working. Could this be a limitation of the browser widget on Android? Just to mention: when I paste the URL directly in the Chrome browser on my phone the chat works. And as a MacOS standalone it works as well. Thanks for any hints.

Have you tried using a player control instead? You have more control there.

Hi and thanks for the responses. I attach a test-stack, go to the chat-tab.

I am not sure why a player control would be suitable here. I am trying to embedd a web-site into my stack. Can you elaborate how a player control would be usueful in my use case?

Indeed in IDE chat works ok
Have to check later on Android device if it works.
Did you perhaps already tried on Android emulator to see what it does there?
I the attached stack i don't see any settings for Android, so can't see what you've set yourself.

It wouldn't. For some reason I thought you were just trying to display video. My best guess is that I hit the wrong link in the digest I receive daily and accidentally responded to the wrong question.

Just tested it on Real device.
Works not exactly the same as in the IDE.
When you click on the cloud in left upper corner, Choose Demo as group and click Join, then
you can see the demo chat and type something.
Creating an own group seems not to work and shows no way of adding text to the chat.
Also Joining your test group does indeed work in IDE but not mobile, it does not render it.
It does work ok on Chrome on mobile.
I would report this as a bug http://quality.livecode.com/ because what works in IDE should work on platform (when correct inclusions are chosen), but that seems not the case.
It's not something we can solve.
