Twenty years down the road now, "the milliseconds" is no longer granular enough for accurate timing of events. Profiling code, for instance, has to rely on averaging multiple runs in order to get anything resembling real command timing. I'm not sure that has changed has it? :D Multiple (average) ru...

I can pretty much guarantee that you are getting the Pause and Resume notifications when you should (at least at the LCB level) - the engine uses the same lifecycle events to pause and resume things like sound, video, sensor tracking and such - and that definitely works correctly. The screen not upd...

@Opaquer: The two parameters to AndroidRegisterLifecycleListener are 'handler references' (akin to function pointers in C - when you evaluate a handler identifier it returns a value which can later be used to execute the handler specified). The signature of those handlers has to match exactly (they ...

@PaulDaMacMan: There isn't a 'point within a path' syntax, but you can do this with a relatively simple handler in LCB (this was written by Monte a while back): public handler hitTestPath(in pPoint as Point, in pPath as Path, in pStrokeWidth as Number, in pWithin as Boolean) \ returns Boolean -- cre...

@odysseus: commandKeyDown and escapeKey are events to be handled, not commands to be executed. i.e. on keyDown pKey answer "The user pressed" && pKey end keyDown on commandKeyDown pKey answer "The user pressed Cmd+" & pKey end commandKeyDown on escapeKey answer "The user pressed escape" end escapeKe...

Switch (over value) is as efficient, and perhaps slightly more efficient than a sequence of if/then/else ifs (although the difference is probably negligible until you to a very large number of cases - switch only evaluates the expression it is looking for once - i.e. eval of tStatus variable in your...

@lohill: I took a quick look at your example stack - there are three things you need to do to make this work correctly (I think, at least). The first is to ensure you open the sqlite db in "binary" mode - pass "binary" as the third parameter when opening the db - this ensures that you can put in and...

This isn't a bug really just a side-effect of command call syntax which is: IDENTIFIER EXPR , ... , EXPR As an expression can be (EXPR), and the ( token doesn't need whitespace before it you have that: x(666) Means call x with argument 666 and x() Is a parse error as () is not a valid expression. ED...

@n.allan: The sqlite driver originated with SQLite2 which did not support binary data... This meant that binary data had to be explicitly encoded as text and then decoded (when using the *b). If your database is coming from another source (i.e. not made with LC's sqlite driver) then you need to do: ...

ScriptObjects are weak references to the object you create it from - so they don't change, just become invalid if the (script) object is deleted. It sounds like the API you are using only sends a callback once... Maybe you have to re-register the callback each time you want one? (A bit like the way ...

@trevix: Yes this is currently a hook which is only accessible from LCB. It was motivated by both your FLIC button library (so that we could make it work the same as iOS), and by the barcode scanner where we now use a device's light sensor to perform 'auto' torchMode. (Android strongly suggests that...

@Trevix: Panos has found the problem I think - your device (by the model number you mentioned) appears to be this https://www.gsmarena.com/asus_zenfone_2_ze551ml-6917.php - which has an Intel Atom processor... Which will be either x86 or x86-64 (I'm not sure which). (That being said I did think x86/...

@Bevan: Try making sure you are using `https` URLs in your app - newer Android devices are secure-by-default which means they disallow access to HTTP urls (the same as iOS has done since iOS7 or so).

@anmldr: Yes - both Community and Community Plus both require that you make your source-code available if you distribute stacks / apps built with them. As Richard points out they are not variants of the same license: Community is GPLv3; Community Plus is a modified version of our commercial license ...

@trevix: You have a frontscript which does: on ReceiveSomething doThis end ReceiveSomething Then doThis is implemented in a behavior which is attached to a button in another stack. Unless the button with this behavior is the target of the 'ReceiveSomething' message, then 'DoThis' is not in the messa...
