HUGE THANKS Jean-Marc


that was the clue I needed!

It was just the missing brackets for the function

call myfunction()

now works - YAY!

What I said.

I'm just trying to call a function in the card scripts, from a button/image in the main stack.

which is the link to the user guide :-(

I'm puzzled.

I have added a function to my CARD script, the card is call "mycard"

The function is called "myfunction"

function myfunction
put "hello world" into field "status"
end myfunction

When I use an image script to call myfunction, all variations ...

@simon

huge thanks
I'll give it a whirl.

But do you now how to make livecode choose a certain version of Java, other than un-installing every other one ?

I can;t see why runrev never addressed this basic issue.

@simon Many thanks for replying.

yes the 64 bit versioning is a great point!

But I'm not sure how to set that, as livecode seems to decide some how.
Any ideas?

If I remove 64 bit java from my system, other usages will complain.

Can we have an actual working example of a basic xml file for livecode?

My project is not creating one!

After it builds the classes etc. it says;
unable to build app for testing:
could not generate package manifest

It does not explain why!

The link for the old mac sdk appears to be
http://dl.google.com/android/android-sd ... macosx.zip

it is live anyway.

just in case the forum chews it
dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r20.0.3-macosx.zip

OK I downgraded the google sdk manager to the previous version.

I can now get my SDK path accepted as C:/program files (x86)/android/android-sdk/

And it finding the 64 bit java in
C:/program files/java/jdk1.7.0_21/
again it's choosing the latest version - I have no control.

I've set the android ...

I have the same issue.

I haven't changed the manifest.

Where does it live and what should it's contents be?

OK I see in this thread
http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=15215

the no android sdk may be a google update incompatibility upgrading to version 22

Just trying that.

OK one potential issue

I am running 64 bit windows 7

That creates a folder
program files (x86)
in addition to
program files.

By default (on my system) livecode goes to x86
My android was already in x86
But re-installing java 7 goes in to program files (as this is a 64 bit version)

This SHOULD ...

I am also getting
"Unable to build app for testing. Could not generate package manifest."

I had pngs as my images, I removed all images.

Livecode 6.1
I have tried android 2.2 and 2.3.3
THERE IS CONFUSION here. It still says use froyer 2.2, but a forum thread here said use 2.3.3 or livecode 5.5 ...

i'm having lots of roadblocks here, to my first android app.

really basic stuff!

what screen size do i use?
how does livecode cope with multiple sized screens?

cdm push notifications :cry: has been redundant since april 2012
it's now august.
why is runrev sleeping over it's documentation and ...

Is there any other solution than to change the JDK?

it's been almost a month now.

this seems to be a known issue

what's alarming is it STILL exists

Anyway, for those that missed it;

livecode 5.51
android 2.2

In the android VDM manager, when you create your virtual device, MANUALLY add the following and set them to "NO";
1) accelerometer
2) magnetic field support
