Thanks Mark. Great explanation. I've switched to LC 10 and I can confirm that, as you say, the weirdness goes away. With LC10, my roundingWeirdness.txt file now contains - {"quantity_product": "1000.001"} {"quantity_product": 1000.001} Interesting that the first is still a string and the 2nd a numbe...

A user has reported a bug in a LC app that I developed four years ago, so I'm back into LC after an 18 month break. Within my app I'm converting Kg values entered by the user into Mt, by dividing the Kg value by 1000. There is no problem when the user inputs a Kg value which is less than 1 million, ...

Thanks Jacque, Mark, Richard & LCMark. There isn't a specific timeframe on this. I'm 60, have no JS experience, and work in the environmental-sciences and humanitarian sectors. Both of these sectors require systems that function effectively in offline and low-connectivity modes. A few years ago I us...

I've been developing for mobile & desktop using LC for several years. I've experimented with LC Server. I've never got the license for HTML LC. A few days ago a past client said to me that they are probably going to move to using Progressive Web Apps (PWA) instead of native mobile apps. I hadn't hea...

Thanks Richmond and Jacque. It does appear that LC has some out-of-the-box capability to display Chinese char, so that creating a Chinese version of my app should be "a bit of a slog", but not particularly technically challenging. I don't yet know whether I'll proceed with this. It depends on what s...

Hi Richmond - thanks for your very thorough response. --- I'd rather avoid the unicode path, mostly because I wouldn't trust myself to correctly distinguish between Chinese characters that - to my untrained eye - look very similar to me. --- I could go down the "save the char as an image" path, but ...

Hi I'm scoping creating a Chinese language version of one of my apps. I saw a previous post on this topic, but it was nearly a decade old. I only need to display static object text in Chinese. I don't need to display user input fields in Chinese. My need is 99% for locked fields + buttons + data gri...

Thanks Jacque - that fixed it.

Hi I'm trying to upload my test app to the Google Play Console. GPC is complaining - "Your app currently targets API level 30 and must target at least API level 31..." So I: - downloaded and installed LC 9.6.9 (rc2) - which from the release notes I thought would solve this problem; and - updated Pre...

Thanks everyone for your information / advice I didn't feel confident with editing system stacks so I found a work around: - create a temporary input allowed (not label) field XYZ, with a large font - edit the contents of that field using the IDE (not Object > Property Inspector > Contents) Screensh...

Hi

Its the font size used in the Property Inspector > Contents that I would like to be able to change. See attached screenshot. The default value would have been fine when I was 30, but I'm not 30 anymore

Thanks

Kim

Hi. Hopefully a crazy easy one. Within the IDE > Field Properties > Contents > How do I increase the size of the font being used? The current font is just too small for my 59 year old eyes (even with glasses). Note - I'm not trying to change the field font size in my standalones. I know how to do th...

When trying to get my first LC App to LC Server system working - I found this to be a very useful starting point.

Hi Julian Sorry, but I'm not a good person to ask. A year ago I spent a few days experimenting with LCB + FFI, but it all got too hard so I moved back to regular LC. It probably would have gone better if I'd known ANYTHING about Java, but I don't so... Like another responder to my original post I al...

I normally post problems, but I thought that today I would share a learning. I had a card that was very slow to open on Android. I added extensive logging and found a 2600 milliseconds delay between: - the end of the previous card's closeCard handler; and - the start of the problem card's preOpenCar...
