LiveCode Forums

I downloaded the example mobile browser control - tried to create it as a standalone Android app - Livecode starts to build it - but it doesn't run through the usual sequence and no apk is produced. Though it will run correctly via Test thru USB to my mobile. I've tried using 6.5.2 & 6.6 etc.

Can you provide a few lines of code on a stack you know work on an Android for MobilePickDate. I have tried all the samples I can find - tested via USB etc but I can't get them to work.

Finally got all the ducks in a row :D :D :D 1. Created a private key - using keytool.exe - stored in 'mykey.keystore' 2. Created my livecode app - setting 'do not sign' - e.g. demo.apk 3. Used jarsigner.exe to sign the ' demo.apk' - so adding private key details from 'mykey.keystore' and correct enc...

So I created an app in livecode - "do not sign" Then I ran jarsigner to sign [again I created a Livecode app to do this] - this ran on my mobile but would not upload to Google play - as not zipaligned then I zipaligned - that ran on my mobile but would not upload to Google play as certificate expiry...

I have gone so far as develop a Livecode app to try to resolve - but I'm still unable to get an app with a private key created via keytool.exe to run on my mobile phone: either copying the apk or via Google Play.
I have tried various permutations to get it to work without success.

I installed a demo apk on my mobile following the Livecode instructions: 1. Works fine when no private key - dev mode. 2. When it has a private key generated with keytool.exe it won't work when the apk is copied directly onto my mobile. Though it tests fine via usb. 3. Also this same apk won't work ...

I have switched back to the old Mobgui but can I switch between new and old Mobgui's without problems - similarly versions of Livecode - including commercial/non? For example old mobgui text input works on Android but I don't seem to be able to get text input on new Mobgui to work. The Android theme...

Screen capture of App Market Template on an Android phone:
The App Market Template works well in the IDE but does not use the Mobgui controls. It would be useful to have a Mobgui version to make it useful to develop mobile apps quickly.

The problem was I was using the default windows unzip tool. Winrar resolved.

The unzipped file shows:

I suspect I may have the wrong zip. Can you send me a link for a windows version.

I'll have to try the winrar method. i have just resolved the private key generation. I will put together a description of this - when i'm confident it uploads on Google Play. I have just tested via usb and it works but not when I copy the apk and try to install on my mobile. But I suspect there is a...

I'm probably one of the few Livecode windows users in the idea2app sessions: 1. The app2market demo isn't showing icons and the zip file icons won't extract on my PC. [late found that I need to use winrar to extract] 2. I've tried uploading a demo android app to google play as I wanted to see the wh...
