Hello,

does anyone knows if creating an APK for Android 1.5.1 is possible with LC?

Iis there an older version needed of LC?

Thanks for any help on this.

Hello,

i also installed Android Studio and this seems to be able to build for older devices.

As i need to create a little app (for a few 7" pads/phones with old android 1.5.1 on it)which is capable just to read some text from a simple text file from a local network drive (via wifi) and display it. I don't want to use the browser for it because then i have to install an server on the network drive. It must be simple.
And refresh every so many minutes.

If any one can confirm that LC can do this or which version i need for it. Or can a build for 2.3.3 run on these devices?

Thanks for any help on this.

Hi Sphere,

I believe Android 2.2 is the minimum Android version LiveCode apps will run on. If you attempt to run a LiveCode created app on a 1.5 device you will receive the below older SDK error-

Hi Neil,

ok so for this piece i have to use Android Studio from google, this seems to be able to do it if i'm correct.
Hope i can get it done, more difficult then Livecode.
But it's a fairly simple thing, it only has to display a few text lines Retrieved from a txt file and refresh every so many minutes to check if txt file has changed.

Thanks for your reply !

Sphere.
