LiveCode Forums.

hi,

I recently returned to the joyful fields of livecode to make simple app for my beloved one and find myself encountering a problem I cannot solve.

Problem is, even though I`ve tested it on actual Android devices and virtual testing and both options had newer OS versions than 2.2, Im still having a grey/blank screen.

Just can`t simply put my head around this, because it is basic app with multiple links to various cards, no coding error could be doing that ( I would attach the stack file, but it is not allowed ). In the distant past I`ve done several apps with livecode that used same basic structure, so I have no idea what I missed this time. Since it is for one person (which is using a Sony Xperia), I avoided the nightmarish journey to make it screen size-optimal for multiple android screens and all images are fixed size.


Please, help. For the sake of love

HI aidas.praBUSe9AZ,
Welcome to the forum

Such a plea deserves great attention, bordering on madness
Have you made a "Hello World" test on a device yet?

Don't worry about screen size issues as this is a thing of the past with the current liveCode

Simon

hey Simon,

I did. Several times. The problem was with the images - I imported them as controls from the menu, and it started working like a charm. Super-ashamed now but what can I say - it must be madness.

Simon, I need to confess something - earlier, when I said "it started working like a charm" - I lied The image size was cropped:
So screen size issues still haunts me. Could you give some advice or send me some links where it might be explained how to deal with this ?

Thanks, Simon

Ahhh, which version of liveCode are you using?
and...
Did you know that there is an HTML5 crowdsourcing drive going on now?

I spent a week with this issue - does drive you mad - turned out for me that it was an LC 6.7 dp5 issue [other?]. Go back to dp4 and I bet your problem goes away.

...but of course, bright orange banner is hard to ignore these days!

Go back to dp4 and I bet your problem goes away.

thanks newtronsols, but even in dp4 it stays the same. Haven`t tried it in 7.0, though

EDIT:

It DID work on dp4! It had typing error on preOpenStack script. Ashamed again. Thanks guys again, really appreciated. Virtual beers to everyone
