Hi!
I'm developing my first app for mobile...after a great sweating, now I can test my app on my mobile device.
The problem I have is that i need to create a native text input but it didn't appear, so i inserted an answer popup to debug if the opencard script was running but it seems not.
On my first card i have this code:
Code: Select all
on openCard
if the environment is "mobile" then
answer "mobile"
--crea Numero Filiera
mobileControlCreate "input","numeroFilieraMob"
put the rect of button "numero" into AndroNumeroFiliera
mobileControlSet "numeroFilieraMob","rect", "130,116,354,168"
mobileControlSet "numeroFilieraMob","keyboardtype","numeric"
end if
end openCard
No answer pop up and no mobile control created.
So i copied the code to the stack
Code: Select all
on openStack
set the text of field "numero" to empty
if the environment is "mobile" then
answer "mobile"
--crea Numero Filiera
mobileControlCreate "input","numeroFilieraMob"
put the rect of button "numero" into AndroNumeroFiliera
mobileControlSet "numeroFilieraMob","rect", "130,116,354,168"
mobileControlSet "numeroFilieraMob","keyboardtype","numeric"
end if
end openStack
Now the answer popup appear but still NO input control on my app.
What's wrong with my code?

Hi Geppo,
I think native controls are INVISIBLE per default,
so you also need to make the control visible after creating it!
...
mobileControlSet "numeroFilieraMob","keyboardtype","numeric"
mobileControlSet "numeroFilieraMob", "visible", true
...
And yes, that surely should go into the docs!
Best

oh no..another important thing...
If i want to add 1 to the number in the mobilecontrol pressing a button
Is it correct to use
Code: Select all
add 1 to the field "numeroFilieraMob"
or "numerofilieraMob" is not consider as a field?

Hi Geppo,
1. the correct syntax to access LC controls is without THE:
...
## add 1 to the fld "xyz"
add 1 to fld "xyz"
...
2. No, you are right, a native text control is NOT a LC field and you need to access it in another way.
Basically you will need to:
...
put mobilecontrolget("numeroFilieraMob", "text") into tText
add 1 to tText
mobilecontrolset "numeroFilieraMob", "text", tText
## Not tested, but should work!
...
Best

that's what i've done..but it seems not to work..
Code: Select all
if the environment is "mobile" then
put mobileControlGet ("numeroFilieraMob", "text") into lNumero
add 1 to lNumero
mobileControlSet "numeroFilieraMob","text",lNumero
else
add 1 to the field "numero"
end if

Here is the new issue....
The mobile control is always visible even if I change card.
So...
Is it better to HIDE the control when i change card and SHOW it when re-Open his card or I have to close and recreate it?

Yep, native controls "float" independently above the actual LC stack!
You can hide or delete it, its up to you
