Hi there,
As a complete newbie, I'm currently trialling LC. I have built a simple stack that runs fine on the emulator, but doesn't on my device.
The device shows up as a test target and the icon loads itself into my app list, but when I try to launch it I just get a black screen for a split second and that's it.
As I get as far as seeing the icon on the device screen I assume the phone is set up correctly.
Could it be a screen size issue ? (I have not yet written a resize script)
Any ideas on why this might be happening ?
Thanks in advance, Martin

Hi Martin,
Probably, you wrote a script that causes your stack to crash, or you wrote a script that closes the stack or even quits the standalone without you realising it. There is also a slight possibility that your device isn't compatible. I've read about issues with tablets using intel processors instead of arm processors. Which device are you using exactly?
Kind regards,
Mark

Re: stack not launching on device
Thanks Mark,
It's still a bit confusing when something runs on the emulator and not an the device.
My phone is a galaxy nexus. I tried it with app inventor and it worked fine, so I hope i've got it configured right.
I'll have a look at the few bits I've scipted.

Hi Martin,
The Galaxy Nexus has an ARM processor. Whether Intel processors are compatible or not is therefore irrelevant. I would indeed concentrate on any problems with scripts. What if you make a competely empty stack and compile this for Android? Does it still crash?

Re: stack not launching on device
This was happening to me today.
Upgrade to 5.5.2 to resolve the issue, if you have not resolved it already.

Currently on my third trial, and still finding LiveCode to be difficult for mobile applications in general, and particularly poor for Android
