How can I code device-specific?

[DevBoyLars]

Hi there,
is it possible to tell the compiler which code is for which device?

Such as to use native-scroller on iOS and Android in one App with one code

look at 'systemVersion' in the dictionary.. and then act accordingly depending on what result the 'systemVersion' function returns.

Yes, you can run specific codes for specific devices by using the platform function like so:

Code: Select all

if the platform is "android" then
  // do this
else if the platform is "iphone" then
  // do this
end if

Nice, so does it mean, I can convert a normal scroller to a native-iOS scroller at runtime or pre-compiled?

I haven't developed for mobile yet using LC. Perhaps, other people here can help out. But basically, that's what you use for detecting the platform the app is running on.

Yes, apologies... 'platform' is correct... wasn't thinking, obviously..
