LiveCode Forums

@runrevmark: Thanks for providing some insight into what is happening. I am sure everyone is hoping that apps produced in LiveCode will be indistinguishable from those produced in something like Xcode. The fear is that the emulated controls will miss some of the appearance and behaviors we have come...

Mark, I should have read what you were saying a bit more carefully. In the scripts where I was writing the current state of the application (my script makePreferencesFile) I was referring to some fields and buttons on the main stack. Apparently the main stack is 'gone' for lack of a better term even...

Mark, Thanks for the reply. I did place a shutdownRequest handler in backscript to handle other things but did not close the substacks in it. I just added the "close stack" bits to close the substacks and my backscript now looks like: on shutDownRequest local theFile put makePreferencesFile() into t...

I can't seem to figure out what I am missing. I have a main stack with several substacks. All of then use the same menu bar. When I build a stand alone, the Quit menu item is called if I have not opened one of the substacks. Opening and closing a substack seems to keep the menu handler script from f...

Jacqueline, Thanks for the advice. I should be getting a real device soon (when Amazon ships) and I should have held my comments until I received it. I obviously became very frustrated as the day wore on and posted an inflammatory comment where one may not be deserved. I hope it all works itself out...

Android support is badly broken in 5.0. I don't know why they are bothering to sell this as a release version. It is not fully functional by any stretch of the imagination. Answering some of my own questions, keyboards DO NOT work, at least in the emulator, in landscape mode. In portrait mode only a...

I don't have my Android device in hand yet (a Kindle Fire) so I thought I would develop using the ARM emulator. I don't know if it is the emulator or LiveCode but not much seems to be working right. My app launches but there are a lot of issues with things not working. The keyboard does not pop up (...

Dixie, Perhaps the issue has to do with the target I am building for or the version of LiveCode. I am specifically targeting OSX and running on a Mac (there should be no menus visible on the card) and I am using version 5.0 of LiveCode. I don't know if this is the same setup you are using. As far as...

I put together a quick stack with two cards (attached). Each card has one button that goes to the other card with a "dissolve fast" visual effect. Menu Builder was used to place the default menu bar on the stack. When the stack is running, if the click the button you will see it shift down and the m...

One of my long term frustraitions with LiveCode was its handling of menus. When version 5 was release I was more exited about the reported menu fix than the speed boost on graphics. The speed boost should be nice but I currently use another package when speed is important. Major disappointment. Alth...

Answering my own question, according to the docs, the date picker only returns values to the beginning of the "Unix Epoch" which, as it turns out, is January 1, 1970 (perhaps the release notes should spell this out). Seems a bit odd as the iOS picker wheel on the device is happy to go well before th...

Hi, When using iphonePickDate I can't seem to get it to return any value before 12/31/1969. In my app this is a problem. Is anyone else using this control and does it work with all dates? I also can't seem to get the picker displayed to honor my initial date setting but at this point it is a minor i...

Is this an issue with LiveCode or is it related to the use of MobGui?

Thanks,
John

Thanks for the help. I will give it a go and update the app. It is a bit embarrassing (and unfair) to have an app listing languages it does not support.

I have two apps in the Mac App store. They list a range of languages in the store description (only english is actually supported). This is not something that you can set during app submission and appears to be read from the applications bundle. I removed all of the language specific folders from th...
