Embedded browser apps

Post by paoloriz » Wed Oct 22, 2014 10:53 pm

Hi, I am a newbie so excuse me if my question is kind of basic.
I need to create an iOS and Android app that simply acts as a wrapper of an existing mobile site (perfectly running on the device Browser).
I knwo that both platforms allows the usage of embedded browser inside the application, how can this be done with LiveCode?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Paolo,

1. welcome to the forum! :D

2. You can use "mobilecontrolcreate" (check the dictionary) to create a native browser object.
And here a lesson from the mothership, looks like it's made for you :)

Have you considered just making a responsive Web site?
