When I use this code, I am able to pick a song, but the result is empty. How can I get the pathname to play the mp3 song?

mobilePickMedia true, "music", "anyAudio"
put the result into tResult
answer tResult

Hi Max,

just to be sure:
"mobilepickmedia" does NOT work in the simulator!

Not on my ipad either.

At least on my ipad I can select a song.

HI On my ipad I can select a song from my library with mobilePickMedia, but it does not return anything, I cant get any mp3 song to play

mobilePickMedia true, "music", "anyAudio"
put the result into tResult

mobilePlaySoundOnChannel tResult , "current", "now"

THis is what is in the dictionary, but it does not seem to work

I still cannot find a way to play a song from my music library from LC.

Does anyone have any sample scripts to make this work?

I want to select a song from my laptop Itunes library, and from IOS.

Has anyone done this successfully?

Max

Has anyone got this code to work?

mobilePickMedia true, "music", "anyAudio"


mobilePlaySoundOnChannel tResult , "current", "now"

I usually get a good response from great people here.

My hunch is that no one bothers to access music from the ipad.

I just want to know if it works.

Gee, it's lonely here.

I wonder if this is a documentation bug. The Dictionary entry for mobilePickMedia says the returned value will be in "the result", but that's more commonly used for error info. Most commands that return data do so in "it".

To test this, try checking the value of "it" rather than "the result".

If it works, please submit a bug report for that Dictionary entry.

If it doesn't work report back here and we'll explore this further.

Hi RIchard

"It" returned nothing.

"Result" returned nothing.

For some reason I've been having alot of bad luck with Livecode this year. Thanks for looking into this. As you can see there is not much interest here in this subject.

I wish I could help, but I just tested mobilePickMedia in an Android app and discovered a bug:

To try to get more attention here you may want to consider changing the title of this thread to something like "problem with mobilePickMedia" so folks can better anticipate what the thread is about.

You may also want to consider asking your question on the use-livecode discussion list. There's some overlap between the two audiences, but also many only here in the forums or only there on the list. Might be good to see if you get any interest there.

IIRC it hasn't been just LiveCode, but mostly that you've been doing a lot of mobile development. Dealing with more restricted OSes, single window GUI, limited file system access, and other constraints we don't have on the desktop make mobile development like building a ship in a bottle.

Hi Richard,

You are exactly right about the Mobile environment. All the trouble started after I made the app.

Thank you for looking at the command. I had tried every way to make it work. It seems that I was the only one.

I am not familiar with the use-livecode discussion list. I'll look into it.

Thanks, Max

I thought I'd seen your posts on the list. Must have been mistaken.
