Re: Dynamically changing stack dimensions for different devi

Geoff, Many thanks for this post. I was struggling to understand why my mainstack wasn't following instructions! I've come to the same conclusion - that the mainstack for an Android app will automatically size to the tablet's resolution. I haven't tested this with any kind of readout of stack size t...

Re: Android 4.2, and large resolutions

My thanks to everyone for their replies. Support confirmed that Livecode does work with Android 4.2. So I tried again. I'm pleased to say that last night everything worked perfectly on my Nexus 10 (Android 4.2.1) and with my virtual device (via AVD) running 4.2. I have absolutely no idea what the di...

Android 4.2, and large resolutions

Hello, I've purchased the Android developer license, and a Nexus 10, in order to develop some Android apps for work. Unfortunately I have hit two problems: Livecode apps don't work on Android 4.2 (ruling out Google's popular Nexus 4, 7 & 10) I can't scale Livecode's display of a 2560x1600 stack/card...

How to layout & control a scrollable app/program

Hello, I hope to develop a landscape android app with a custom scroll bar on the right hand side, and navigation buttons on the left. I'm comfortable that I can build these controls as groups and fix their locations using the geometry manager. However, in the middle of the screen, the main 'content ...

embedded database in RunRev Livecode application

Hi, I've just spent a long time trying to work out what Livecode's native database capability is, and I struggled to find an answer. Most of the promotional literature refers to the ability to connect with external database servers. I wanted to find out whether a relatively complex relational databa...

Re: Navigating cards using buttons in a background group.

Hi Guys, Thanks for the quick posts - much appreciated! I've since renamed the cards using the "Property Inspector" and used the card names in the button code, rather than call the card ID. This now works perfectly. How did this happen? I guess I must have edited the name of the card at some point, ...

Navigating cards using buttons in a background group.

Hello, I'm trying to set up a window (stack) with a navigation bar of 3 buttons down the left hand side, allowing me to change between the stack's cards. I have created the buttons (1,2,3), the button's group, and the cards(1011,1012,1013). I have made the group "behave like a background". For the b...
