Hi Mark

From your website: "The book is being prepared for printing and will be available as a real, physical book and not as an e-book."

Is this still true?

The standard in Windows is that if an app has focus and ALT is pressed, the menubar becomes focused.

Notepad with focus:

Notepad with focus after pressing the ALT key once:

At Heather's request, I have filed a bug report.

To help you see what happens on my laptop, I created a screen capture:

Screen Capture.mp4 [2.6MB]

It shows the following:

1. My laptop having an uptime of 6 minutes, so it is after a reboot.
2. The taskbar having no other software open, except for the screen capture software.
3. The stack being ...

Hi Mark and Todd

Please find my stack attached.

The exact same problem exists with far less code.

Hi Todd

Thank you for looking at this.

I'm on a PC:
Windows 7 64-bit
LiveCode 7.0.3
Strict compilation mode: on/off makes no difference.

The exact same thing happens with the supplied course material, Week 5 Day 1, so no need to upload a sample file.

It's as if LiveCode is hanging or thrashing ...

Hi Mark

Thank you for your suggestion, but unfortunately it doesn't help.

I have also tried entering a full URL as the second argument, but that doesn't help either.

Here is the same sentence typed twice:

Typed in notepad: Let me type at my normal pace
Typed in LiveCode: Letme typeat m nomace

Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
LiveCode 7.0.3

My laptop keyboard functions normally, inside Windows and LiveCode, until I load a stack with revBrowserOpenCef, then it drops keystrokes. If I type normally it may recognise approximately 3 to 6 keystrokes, then it hangs, dropping any keystrokes I type after ...

Lagi and jacque:
Thank you for your suggestions. I will see if I can make them work.

SparkOut:

if item 1 to 3 of tStoredDate is item 1 to 3 of tCurrentDate then

That is what I was looking for.

How do you even know that exists? Or, how do you find out that LiveCode can even do that?

I have the following code which compares today's date with a date I have stored.

if (item 1 of tTodaysDate - item 1 of tDateIWantToCheck <> 0) or \
(item 2 of tTodaysDate - item 2 of tDateIWantToCheck <> 0) or \
(item 3 of tTodaysDate - item 3 of tDateIWantToCheck <> 0) then

If the result is ...

Hi Ben,

Those instructions are unfortunately misleading. Simply plugging in the device does not work.

Personally, I did not want to install the Samsung sync software. There is a way to install the USB drivers only.

You can download the drivers here:

Simon,

Your progress looks fantastic!

Is there any way that you can compile an apk that I can download?

Hi Andy

Thanks for the pointer, but that stack is broken on Android.
This stack however loads great on the screen and on my device: http://revonline2.runrev.com/download/stack/663/Mobile-UI-dynresizing

You raise very valid points regarding the stack size, however, the majority of the increased ...

Thanks jacque for your generosity!

To come back to my initial questions:

1. This still stands. How is Android development being done? Is it only being done for private clients?
2. It seems I would need to write this myself and post it once done.
3. No answers yet.
4. No recommendations yet.
5. No ...

Hi Jacqueline

What I was hoping, was that a simple stack like that would already be in use by any Android developer as a starting point for new Android app development. I certainly don't suggest that someone create that just for me.

Thank you for letting me know that LiveCode apps run just as fast ...
