Re: Lock screen and animated gif

I find to get the spinner to rotate you need to add a wait with messages statement into loops somewhere. wait 0 seconds with messages Give it a try and see if that gets it spinning. - Bob Hall > On Dec 20, 2022, at 7:27 AM, Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode > wrote: > > Try 'without mes

Unable to load Preferences LC 9.6.9rc3 and Levure 9.0.5

I'm wondering if anyone might be able to help me out. I’m trying to use LC 9.6.9rc3 with an app built with Levure. With LC 9.6.9rc2 I am able to open the app in the IDE with no issue. When I try to open the app with LC 9.6.9rc3 I get “An error occurred while initializing the application [unable

Android API Level 26 required as of August 2018

I posted an APK to the Google Play Store today for another project I work on (not LC based) and received a warning that I've not seen before (1 week ago the same App not receive this warning). "Target API level requirements from August 2018 Warning: Your app currently targets API level 25 and mu

Re: Checking if internet is connected using tsNet?

A little late to the respond on this but I’d send a HTTP HEAD request. You will get a 200 response back with no data if you have an http connection to the url you specify. You could use your own server to send the request to but it is common to use a well known service such as google to send the

Re: Array editing or Validate JSON string?

Livecode provides a text editor to, well, edit text. It does not understand the syntax/grammar of languages (Livecode, HTML, Javascript, JSON, YML, etc). What you need is an editor that “knows" JSON. Your best bet is to copy the text into Sublime, Visual Studio Code or Atom which do understand

Charles, I would like to find out more about your socket external specifically for websockets. Can you point me to where I can find out about the socket external? Thanks, Bob Hall > On Nov 23, 2018, at 1:10 AM, Charles Warwick via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hi Todd, > > Depending on what pla

Re: How do I check to see if an environment variable exists?

$# tells you how many parameters there are for a script. Perhaps if $# > 0 then... instead might work (I’ve not tried that). You might find using environment() potentially helps as well. The Dictionary has the details. If neither of those options work let me know. I have another way you could ta

Script Editor Performance

The script editor in Livecode is absolutely horrid performance wise. There plenty of issues but the scrolling performance bothers me to no end — AGAIN! I develop on a 3 year old iMac 27” with 24G of ram. The Livecode IDE is by far the worst IDE/Script Editor that I use (sorry to say). I’m findin

Re: Script Editor Performance

The change I made is in the Script Editor which is not related to the message box. It’s a UX/performance issue that I’ve fixed. Nothing related to crashing at all. More of a difference in opinion I guess. My way is much better — for me anyways :-) I’m betting others will agree though. I’ve not

Android Studio how to create AVD?

I’m trying to figure out how to get an Android virtual device going for LC testing/debugging. For the life of me I can’t figure out how to create an AVD with Android Studio. I’ve spent the better part of my day trying to figure this out. I've tried LC business 8.1.9 & LC business 9.0.0 (dp11).

Re: LC Server on OSX Mojave - Local host & sites

There are changes in how things work in 10.14.x of Mac OS. When I setup my system for full stack dev (iMac 27” Late 2014) I did a mashup of the following 2 posts. Not sure that you should start right in with these but maybe there’s something in the text that will help you get the configuration y

NEW cuid library stack

I created a new library stack to create cuid compliant unique ids in Livecode. What the heck is a cuid you ask? Well, in a nutshell, a cuid is a "portable and sequentially-ordered unique identifier designed for horizontal scalability and speed". You can use a cuid just like you would a UUID. Wh

Livecode & MacOS 26

I’m wondering if anyone has tried LC v10 and Create on MacOS 26. I would like to upgrade my system but before I do I’d like to know what Livecode’s status is on the new OS. Thanks in advance, Bob Hall Manchester, NH, US ___ use-livecode mailing list u
