mobilePickDate ...

[paulsr]

Sometimes I'm guilty of not reading all the words, but the more I read the dictionary page for mobilePickDate the more confused I am.

Here's a snippet of code:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   mobilePickDate "time",,,,,"cancelDone"
   put the result into tSetTime
   if tSetTime <> "cancel" then
      answer tSetTime
   end if   
end mouseUp

The LC dictionary says:

"The selected date, time or date and time are returned in the result. The value is in seconds since the UNIX Epoch.

If the picker is cancelled then cancel is returned in the result."

For me, neither of these seems to be true.

If I select a time of 14:19 and tap Done, then that is what I see in the Answer box. "14:19". Not a value in seconds. That I can live with.

But if I tap Cancel, I get a time of "07:30" showing in the answer box. I never get "cancel" and I never get any other time.

This is rather more serious. But both anomolies are confusing.

I have to think I'm doing something wrong, but I've no idea what. Can someone advise me plz...

Hi Paul,

I can confirm the first issue;
the result returns hh:mm not seconds,
maybe this is something about iOS 6 or a change in LiveCode engine.

As of the second issue, I get the cancel message.
You may consider to check your settings and/or versions of simulator & LiveCode.

Hope it helps...

Best,

Thanks for testing this Ender. I meant to add that I'm using Livecode 5.5.2 and was testing on an iPad1 with iOS5.1

I didn't think of trying the simulator, but now that I have, I can confirm that this too returns "07:30" and not "cancel".

Bizarre!

Sorry that I can't help further...

This seems to be unique to Livecode 5.5.2

I've just tried it on 5.5.3 and it works as expected.
