I'm using LC 9.0.0-dp10 on a Mac to develop an app for an Android/Amazon Fire 7
tablet (FireOS 5.1.x). As the app launches it prompts the user to select a set
of files from the microSD card plugged into the tablet. The selected set of
files are copied to the specialFolderPath("documents") area. Some of these
files are short sound clips that are played using the mobilePlaySoundOnChannel
command. As and when required the user can trigger the initial prompt to select
a different set of files from the microSD card.
If the user repeatedly chooses different sets of files, the app is OK as long
as the mobilePlaySoundOnChannel is not run. However, any use of this command
leads to a filing system error! If I try to create new folders in the app
having run the mobilePlaySoundOnChannel command, I get an error where the
creation date of the new folder is January 1970 and I can't create files within
such a folder. I end up having to close and re-open the app for it to work
again.
With the mobilePlaySoundOnChannel command commented-out, the app runs fine
(apart from the missing sound), with the user able to change sets of files as
often as they want. With the mobilePlaySoundOnChannel command active, the app
is OK until the user changes the set of files. From then onwards 1 of the key
folders has the above problem. The files/folders are as follows:
set->
backups->
filea.html
fileb.html
filec.html
captures->
voice1.wav
voice2.wav
media->
filea.html
fileb.html
filec.html
pics->
pic1.jpg
pic2.jpg
sounds->
clip1.wav
clip2.wav
The only folder affected by the error is "sounds", all the other folders and
files are created OK (as copies from the SD card). I've tried renaming "sounds"
to "audio" and "audioClips", but it's always this folder with WAV files in it.
I've spent many hours chasing this problem, thinking it was an Android filing
system issue. Only after thinking differently did I investigate and discover an
absolute reproducible association with the mobilePlaySoundOnChannel command!
I found a previous bug report that may be relevant, which implies the problem
was in LC 8.x.x and has been fixed. So I thought I'd try my app with LC 8.1.7
STABLE. Unfortunately my app requires an add-on developed by Ali LLoyd -
Android Audio Recording which I can't get to compile within LC 8.1.7!! The
specific compilation errors are:
5:03 PM: Error: on line 25 ():
5:03 PM: Error: on line 27 ():
5:03 PM: Error: /Users/peter/Documents/Android Audio Recordings/Android
Audio Recordings
v3/androidaudiorecorder.lcb:25:1: error: Unable to find imported module
'com.livecode.java'
/Users/peter/Documents/Android Audio Recordings/Android Audio
Recordings v3/androidaudiorecorder.lcb:27:7:
error: Parsing error: syntax error
and I've no idea how to fix this!?
So, please can anyone either advise me how to work around the apparent
mobilePlaySoundOnChannel command bug in LC 9 or advise me how I can fix the
compilation error to try my app with LC 8.1.7?
Thanks for any help and thanks to others for related help given previously - I
intend to summarise the collected solutions once I've got past this current
show stopper.
