Re: How do you enable iCloud support?

Monte: Thanks for the info -- but -- shouldn't this be a core functionality of LiveCode? I read the API documentation and it requires modifying files internal to LiveCode. That means on the next update, I'd have to manually modify those files again or loose the functionality. Seems that runrev shoul...

How do you enable iCloud support?

OK: I've got 2 apps out there now and my customers are expecting that the data would be in sync between all their iOS devices. I had thought that Apple did this automatically with syncing of the apps Documents folder with iCloud, but I guess not. Anybody know how to get this working? :oops: Thanks! ...

Reproducible incompatibility with iOS 6.x

I've discovered a problem between LiveCode 5.5.3 and iOS 6.x (6.0, 6.0.1 and 6.1) that occurs when the mobilePickContact command is called. I built a card with 3 iOS text fields on it -- 2 are used for text inputs and 1 is used for a datePicker. I also added a button to the card to bring up the cont...

Re: How do you add a MouseUp to an iOS control?

Hi donryan, You can communicate with native mobile controls only via their special accessors. There are four messages which may help you. inputBeginEditing, inputEndEditing, inputTextChanged, inputReturnKey You should use them with mobileControlTarget() function. Check the attached stack for a simp...

How do you add a MouseUp to an iOS control?

Can anyone provide some insight on how you add a mouseup event to an iOS text field when the text field is created dynamically at runtime? I want to add a DatePick to an IOS text field but can't figure out how to do it. I've searched the forums but didn't find a solution. Any help would be appreciat...

Re: Success: 1st mobile app published via LiveCode

Paolo: Good question: tmControls objects scale to the screen resolution. Some objects (such as Delete buttons that I built), I actually created 2 buttons for both screen widths. I then tested the screen width, then show and position the correctly sized button. In the sample below, lblDeleteLoc is a ...

Re: Success: 1st mobile app published via LiveCode

Thanks Klaus and Dave. Yeah, didn't know what to expect, but the LiveCode team did a great job with the IDE to ensure that the complied apps pass all the Apple checks! Very cool. :D

Success: 1st mobile app published via LiveCode

This was encouraging -- my first iPhone app built using LiveCode was published the first time through -- no issues whatsoever. I used LiveCode, data grid objects, sqlite database, tmControls and native iOS text fields. I was pleasantly surprised when the app passed the review process on the first ti...

Instructions on how to Create an iOS Splash Screen

These instructions are offered to any other developers struggling with creating an effective Splash Screen for iOS and want to save the application's state between launches. The Splash Screen feature provided by LiveCode is adequate for a desktop application, but not for iOS (or Andriod). The reason...

Re: Hiding Splash screen when restoring previous session

Thank you -- new problem:

I had the Splash screen set and deleted if from the standalone settings -- but -- the screen is still loading even though there is nothing selected.

Do you know how I could permanently delete the Splash screen (seems like the old one is cached somewhere...)

Hiding Splash screen when restoring previous session

I'm trying to find a way to hide the Splash screen (from the standalone settings) from loading when I'm restoring a prior session. In other words, the user is using the app, presses the Home button, I save the variables and card that the user was last on out to a file. When they reload the app, I re...

Re: Printing from a data grid with variable height rows

Craig: If you look at the code I initially posted, I'm using this as part of a "Print to PDF" function -- I'm not sure if that is the problem. I did try using it with just a single line of text (eliminating the datagrid from the equation) and still got an error. So, I'm not sure if I can use the rev...
