Running Javascript on Android
Posted: Thu Feb 20, 2020 12:58 am
Hey everyone
At the moment I'm making Sudoku app, and I found a handy bit of javascript that I'm going to use to solve the sudoku. The problem though is that when I try it out on my computer, it works flawlessly. No issues, nothing. However, when I deploy it to my phone, it doesn't work. It's as if the Javascript code isn't even being run, which is weird, as I've put a few things in the callback from JS to let me know it work (things like setting the text of a field to something specific, which works on computer but not Android). This is the code I've got here:
This sets the htmlText of my browser to the appropriate htmlText (the html text of this page if you're curious https://hewgill.com/sudoku/, from the "<script type="text/javascript">" line (line 37) to line 204). I have made one change as per Hermann's suggestion, which was to add a line "liveCode.JSresult(grid);" above the "return solutions.length;" line. I have the solve method in LC being called by a button, which is this code:
Finally, this is my JSResult code:
On computer, the text of field "TestLabel" changes, but on my phone, it doesn't - almost as if it doesn't even get called or to that point? I don't know if there's an error with the code, my implementation, or just JS with Android in general (really hoping it's not the last one 
!)
If you guys have any advice on how I can fix this, that would be appreciated!
