Hi,

instead of the mobileVibrate command, which has a standard length, I want to have a very short vibration.
There is a way to to do this in Java: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/139 ... -frequency

Code: Select all

// Get instance of Vibrator from current Context
Vibrator v = (Vibrator) getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);

// Vibrate for 400 milliseconds
v.vibrate(400);

How can I call this command from Livecode?

Cheers,
Torsten

Hi Torsten,

we can only add the (number of vibrating) parameter to the -> mobilevibrate command.
For anything else you will need to create widget with LCB.

Best

Hi Klaus,

your suggestion is correct. Does anybody have more specific advise about how complex it is to write this widget?

It seems to be a very simple command and I hope that the LCB code could be also simple, but I have not found any examples of a simple java command like this. In the simplest form, I would send the LCB widget a message like send "Vibrate 100" to widget "AndroidVibrator" and then the phone should vibrate 100 milliseconds.

Is there anybody who have done something similar?

Cheers,
Torsten
