LiveCode Forums

I have tried the closeStack handler, as well as closeStackRequest... Neither of them seem to be working as expected once I deploy to an iOS device. I am basically trying to save the current state of the application when the user exits, by saving a .dat file in the "documents" folder path on the devi...

Don't worry, it wasn't anything you did! Any time there is a major Xcode update, Livecode must be updated as well to reflect the fundamental changes. The guys at LC are probably working furiously on an updated release for us, as we speak. In the meantime, simply revert back to Xcode 6.1.1 and you sh...

Ok I will admit I'm a dummy - I was setting the visible of the group to TRUE in the EndSpinner routine.... That is resolved and the group now hides properly (which is reflected on all subsequent cards which contain the same group). The animation still doesn't run when I actually use it during a "thi...

I added the "of this card" code to see if I could figure out why the group wasn't "hiding" itself on all the subsequent cards (I used the Add Group tool in Livecode to add the spinner group to a number of different cards on the stack).

Since I am quite sure someone is going to bring this up, here are my Start and End handlers for the spinner code.... on StartSpinner put 1 into gKeepRotating set the visible of grp "grpSpinner" of this card to true RotateSpinner end StartSpinner on EndSpinner put 0 into gKeepRotating put the name of...

I am trying to place a "rotating" image overlay group that appears any time my app is busy handling data in the background... I use the following code to update the image in the group: on RotateSpinner if gKeepRotating is 1 then put the angle of image "imgSpinner" of grp "grpSpinner" of this card in...

Thanks for the follow up! I have been a part of many industry forums over the years (and owned / managed / moderated a few, as well) and I understand the importance of keeping things tidy - it is better for me, it is better for the thread and it is better for future users who might find themselves b...

A few more things I tried and subsequently ruled out: 1. I tried creating an Ad Hoc Provisioning Profile / Certificate combo to see if it was the Development Provisioning Profile that was creating the issue..... No change in outcome. 2. I tried isolating the code by copying the connectToDB routine t...

Thanks, Simon - I added your Error Dialog code, and along with the call suggested by Jacque I was able to view the returned error message..... Here is a screen shot of what is being reported: http://www.archangelprinting.com/downloads/ccamera_error1.PNG It definitely appears that the revOpenDatabase...

If you uncomment the line that answers tConn, does it give any information? Also try adding a line directly above that one: answer "Result is " & the result Might give a clue what's wrong. Be sure to check the result before you run the tConn answer, otherwise the result will change. Thanks for the ...

I can't get my database connection to work properly on an actual iOS device, to save my life....... When I first figured out how to use the simulator, I realized that I needed to include the MySQL Externals in the build settings, so I did that and everything was wonderful. When I deploy that same ap...

I realized today that at least one of my questions would be more suited for a different board on this forum (it would probably be more comfortable in the iOS Deployment portion of the forum) - I know it is important to keep a well structured and tidy forum, so is there a way for me to move the post ...

If in doubt, always consult the dicitonary! I spend a fairly significant amount of time reading through the dictionary on a nightly basis, but it does not always show examples of functional code nor does it always mention the little caveats and "gotchas" that I have run into. For instance, the revO...

After a couple days of attempting to make this work, my excitement for getting my app working in the simulator and eventually sifting through all the Provisioning Profile / Certificate nonsense that is required to put an app on an actual device, my excitement is waning. I am starting to think the is...

One more thing - for the gDatabaseAddress field, I am using the explicit IP address to the server, followed by :3306 - not sure if iOS bugs out when you present it with an IP address, but it is worth noting.
