Re: Standalone works on Windows but not on Android

Thanks Klaus and Sparkout

I had thought that this was a permission problem and I didn't realise Android was case sensitive.

So I'll do as you suggest - use documents rather than Documents and test for the file's existance.

Many thanks again

Re: Standalone works on Windows but not on Android

Hi Klaus

Thanks for the quick response.

I'm not copying but setting as you suggested - my code for this is

lock the clipboard
set the fullClipBoardData["jpeg"] to pImageData
-- gives access to the system clipboard as jpeg
unlock the clipboard

And I do check for the existance of my parent ...

Standalone works on Windows but not on Android

Hi

I have a puzzle app which performs entirely as expected in the IDE and as a Windows standalone but not on Android. I have the Android SDK installed correctly.

When I deploy the app to my phone (Android 9) for testing it behaves as it should until the puzzle completes and I use the option to ...

Re: Using ExifTool from Shell

Hi Klaus
Thank you very much for your very quick reply.
Yes that did it! I have to say that I'm more that a bit embarrassed to have made such a simple, basic error! Just overthinking the problem I guess.

regards

Re: Common Android Deployment issues

Just to provide an update. I downloaded the SDK package and installed it again using the terminal. Everything now works as it should. Brilliant.

Re: Common Android Deployment issues

Hi

I too am having installation issues on Windows 10 with LC 8.1.3 Indy. I have installed and re-installed Android SDK a number of times, tried the SDK tools approach a number of times - all with the same result.

In the end I went for the Studio Option. I know its not really needed but all the ...

Re: Problems using formmatedtext in a field on another card

Thanks for the reply Richard and the explanation. I had wondered if that was the case because, as you said, its logical. Good to have it confirmed.

Re: Problems using formmatedtext in a field on another card

Ok.So the solution was simple.
I extracted the code which checked the number of lines of formatted text and made it a specific handler positioned in the card script of the 'playcard' card. This handler, which simply looped through the four fields altering as needed, was called in the PreOpenCard ...

Problems using formmatedtext in a field on another card

Hi

Does the formattedText only work in a field on the current card? Is it not possible to retieve the formattedText from a field on another card and modify the text accordingly before going to that card?

I have multiline text over 5 lines which I place in a field on another card before going to ...

Re: LC App won't install on Android emulator

On further research and experimentation it would seem that this is a 'common problem' with android. Apparently it can take some time for the emulator to get up and running fully - in my case about 3 minutes- before a rendered screen appeared (my emulator was always plain black before). I was just ...

Hi and thanks for the quick reply.

I created an extensions folder here G:\My Documents\My LiveCode\LC User Extensions\Plugins and set the location in LC preferences. Restarting LC still only shows the 'default' plugins present in the installation folder.

I've been away from LC for a while but in ...

I have installed 7.0.5 and 7.0.6 and neither has created a 'My Livecode' folder in the 'My Documents ...
