LiveCode Forums

Hi all, my original issue is still unresolved, according to Panos answer to my bug report https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21584 the Android behaviour is actually the one that is correct. That means, my work-around is likely not to be working in future updates. Therefore I would like to ...

Hi, I gave it a try to create a gps validator, based on your other functions. It seems to work but I haven't tested all possible wrong inputs... function validateGPS pGPS put "^[-+]?([1-8]?\d(\.\d+)?|90(\.0+)?),\s*[-+]?(180(\.0+)?|((1[0-7]\d)|([1-9]?\d))(\.\d+)?)$" into tSchemeRegex put matchText(pG...

Hi Klaus, I have the google API keys entered in the inclusions tab of the standalone settings. I get the map widget itself working, but I can't fetch the extended mousedown message which should trigger the creation of a new marker. It works on desktop but not on the device. The script I posted is lo...

Hi,
the map widget doesn't help with directions. It displays a map, markers on the map, and on android some polyline. https://livecode.com/docs/9-0-0/components/map-widget/
For directions you probably need to use a browser widget and google map services. Best. Oliver

Hi Andy, did you get the Map Widget working finally? I just try to follow up all forum posts related to map widget. Best. Oliver

Btw. my method posted above works fine on MacOS and iOS standalones, but I could not get it working on Android devices. So any help with this issue in regards to Android deployment is highly welcome.

Hi Matt, I could not find a way to center the map around the user position using just the properties of the map widget. A work-around could be to read the current location from the gps sensor and then set the region of your map widget with current readings of latitude and longitude as centre coordin...

Thanks for the great work and for sharing. It saved me a lot of work. Has this project evolved? I am looking for a gps coordinate validator. Regex patterns is still a step beyond me.

Hi and thanks for helping out here, turning off the accelerated rendering or doing the workaround mentioned in the bug report did not have any effect. I could deploy to another device running android 7.0. Someone mentioned that the black screen issue started after LC 9.0 dp 5 for an Android 5.1 devi...

Hi, I made all possible changes in deployment options, nothing so far seems to work, I get the black screeen on my android device (Huawei Y6 Pro, Android 5.1) wheny deploying from LC 9.0. Indy. When deploying from LC 8.1.9. CE everything works fine. Frustratingly many hours went into this. Best Oliver

Hi, I had the same issue with a Huawei Y6 Pro which I bought a year ago with Android 5.1. Deployment of same stack with LC8.1.9 works fine, with 9.0.0 I get the black screen. I would assume that we should be able to deploy to hardware that is a year old. Best. Oliver

+ a bonus question: can I place a livecode object like a button on top of a map widget??? thx. o

Hi, I perhaps found a workable solution, see the atttached stack. I placed an invisible button on top of the map widget with follwoing code: on mousedown local repeatcounter put the mouseloc into tempmouseloc repeat while the mouse is down wait 2 ticks if the mouseloc is not tempmouseloc then pass m...

Hi, I am trying to use the new Map Widget in Livecode Indy 9.0.0. I would like to create a new marker on the map when the user clicks on the map widget for a second (mousedown without moving the mouse). The widget seems not to create any mousedown message, so I thought I need to have an invisible bu...
