Hey, Thanks so much! That works fine. I don't know DataGrids well enough to know all the form/table implications, but I'll either make it work with the Table form, or switch to the "HTML in a native HTML page" trick mentioned elsewhere. Actually, I think I'll dork around with it for a while, and if ...

Hi Jellicle, Thanks very much for getting back to me on this... I really appreciate it! I tried your suggestion... as near as I could... and no joy. Please see the attached stack, which is my stack changed as you suggest (I think!). If I've done something wrong, please let me know. I've gone over bo...

Hello, I've got a DataGrid with a lot of entries, and so of course I'd like to scroll it, using the native iOS scroller so it will look correct. I've visited the two recent scroller discussion threads, and VERY much appreciate the comments of the people there. And it *almost* works! The DataGrid scr...

Hi Selene,

I have a DataGrid in use on my iOS application. It works! However, the scrolling isn't right yet. I'm going to make another thread to ask for help there, but I thought I should let you know it works.

yachris, You can add a wait command to the preOpenStack handler to keep the splash screen visible for a longer time: on preOpenStack wait 5 seconds end preOpenStack Thanks... I'll give that a try. I wish, of course, that I could somehow find out how long it had been "starting up" (so the splash scr...

Hi Mark, I was referring to RunRev's "Android Release Notes". I have the official, full licensed version of LiveCode. What I was referring to is the field in the "Android" tab of the "Standalone Application Settings" window. It has a field titled "Splash" which lets you put in a path to an image. Th...

Hello, The Android Release Notes say that the splash-screen setting is for non-commercial use only. I tried it with an app I'm building with the full version of LiveCode, and sure enough, it doesn't get shown. However it does get shown when deploying to iOS -- so this seems inconsistent. Is this goi...

Hello, I've set up a splash screen for my app by choosing an image in the "Splash Screen" entry on the "Standalone Application Settings" page, and it works. However (at least on the iOS simulator!) it is only displayed for a fraction of a second before the first (real) page of the stack is shown. Is...

Wow, that was fast! I got a reply today from Mark at RunRev: Hi Chris, Thanks for the report. Looking at your stack there are two changes you can make to cause it to work. The first is in the 'Show files' button. Here, setting the folder to specialFolderPath("engine") & slash causes the file listing...

Okay, submitted as bug #9565.

Hi xfrios, Welcome! I'm a newby here myself. In the userguide.pdf file, section 5.5 "Variables", page 145+, you'll find the variable information. Notably, global var makes a variable global and local var makes sure it's local. Interestingly, if you put these inside a function, that makes their scope...

Absolutely right. They are:

• init.rc
  init.goldfish.rc
  init
  default.prop

And when I hit the "Show foo.txt" button, it shows the file location as:

• /data/app/com.yourcompany.yourapp-1.apk/foo.txt

Thanks for the help!

Cool, thanks Jacque. Just out of curiosity (and cluelessness ) what is this Hanson conference talk? Is it available online somewhere?

Here's a stack that shows off the behavior I'm seeing... maybe someone can get it working on Android as well as iOS?

THANKS!

Hi Jacque, Thanks for the reply... sorry I wasn't clear. Yes, I'm using specialFolderPath("engine") as the directory. I don't want to write files there, I just want some text files and sqlite databases (all read-only) to be copied there, so the app can use them. I've specified some files in the "Cop...
