LiveCode Forums.

Well, that didn't take long. The thread has veered into the insulting.

+1 on everything Stam and Craig wrote plus Theming Find contexts Navigating complex projects Since we started getting to use behaviors and .livecodescript files I have been utterly spoiled by being able to use Atom and ST for most of the code work. There are so many extensions that can be added to t...

BTW, it's funny that you mention PUD. I have several apps I run on one of my ipads in PUD because the cords can then be out of the way on my desk. I have only encountered a couple of apps that don't work in PUD.

Bummer, because that was a cool project and a cool idea.

Did Apple finally allow NFC reading on ios? For the longest time you couldn't because Apple said "No".

A few things: 1. LC does not support so-called "silent push". It is a very old request that is still not supported. You can't just push data to the app without triggering another event because 2. LC behaves differently for push notifications that are received when the app is active and when it is no...

More recent versions of the script editor are better than the older ones in a lot of ways. I use it regularly, but I prefer sublimeText for LC scripts. It has many more features than the script editor, it is much more customizable and extensible (and much faster). It launches way faster than Atom, a...

LC has a dropbox library. The commands and functions are in the dictionary. When you are building your app, you make sure that it is in the inclusions. You can use the library on your mobe and your desktop/server for exchanging files. There are a bunch of examples floating around. There are probably...

I can't help with moving it via email, because we don't do it that way.
We typically do file transfers using dropbox.

Is email an important part of this workflow, or are you just trying to get a data file to and from your phone?

Good tip.
There are so many ways to skin this cat in LC.

Searches on mobes and on SSD's on desktops are so fast that I'm not sure your dataset size will matter. Maybe the first thing you should do is make a test worst-case container, with, say, 5000 lines in it, delimited by commas or tabs, or whatever you choose. Try searching the container for something...

I tend to think of everything as a DB, and I tend to use db's no matter what, but I have a feeling that for someone who has not implemented one, before, it might be overkill for you for your first mobile app, especially since DB's (generally) require learning SQL and some of the vagaries around para...

catch takes a parameter:
catch theMessage
theMessage contains the error

Alternatively, I'd be interested in seeing what's happening because it might be an interesting deep dive into the dg code to address the problem so that it doesn't happen to begin with.

There are other ways to do this, I'm sure. If you're on ios (don't know about android) I don't think you are going to need to do anything if you have restricted access to the db as it will be encrypted on disk and no other apps will be allowed to touch it, anyway. To the original question, The metho...
