Hello there

I am looking for someone to give me a hand on an ad hoc basis to develop a couple of apps.

I am very much an amateur, but I'm fairly happy to do most of the work, the problem is occasionally/often I hit a problem that I just can't resolve.

It would also be good have someone look at ...

Hello there

Could someone possibly tell me if there is a particular option I need to select on standalone settings or something to allow downloads?

I have a browser widget which points to a webpage with a list of hyperlinks to mp4 files, If I click on one of these it plays the video.

One of the ...

Hi there

In case its helpful to anyone else, I found a solution.

Livecode 10 (dp3) has all the codecs / licenses / etc....

So provided you select 'hardware acceleration' in the standalone settings section it will play mp4 files happily.

Kind regards

Paul

Just to add to the previous post-

Are there any other formats that I could use - eg .flv .swf .mov .mkv

Kind regards

Paul

Hi wsamples

Thanks v much for your reply.

Kind regards

Dear All

I imagine you will need more information, but could someone possibly tell me if there are any know issues using the browser widget on android to play mp4 files?

My app is super basic, the main page just has a large browser object that points to a node red dashboard.

On the dashboard ...

Thanks v much Klaus

Hi Klaus

Sorry, yes I meant mobilecontrolcreate.

Kind regards

Evening everyone

Simple question again I'm sure, but there we go:

Could someone tell me how / if you can manipulate where the player object goes on the screen on an android device?

I can see how you change the size, but not the position. I was thinking I could put the code inside a container and ...

Hi Simon

Thanks v much, it was really bugging me, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere.

Thanks v much for all the answers everyone.

I went round the houses trying the various suggestions above, but in the end I used the stack from Fourthworld, because I still couldn't get the SQL syntax to work (I've now bought 'SQL Queries for mere mortals' to try and swot up).

So, for any NOOBs ...

Evening All

Does anyone know how/if you can change the push notification icon from the default LC one to one of your choice?

Also as an aside one of the livecode guides says your application icon should be in incs format, but when you try to select this file from the folder it only shows png ...

Again, thank you for all the replies and offers of help to check my stack


However, I have changed tack a bit as I realized what I was doing was a bit convoluted, as in doubling up unnecessarily on what was already on my db.

All I need to do is populate a field in my sql db with the push keys of ...

wow thanks for all the answers


I went with the array in the end, which worked fine as far as displaying the data, but retrieving what I actually need is still eluding me:-

I have the array as suggested-

key -id name info i want

I can select all the names and put them ...

Evening everyone

What I'd like to do is convert the result into an ...
