Re: Preview of Resolution Independent Control library for RevMobile
My very first attempt was to include scalable images in my own custom groups and show the appropriate image on the right devices. But I experienced sluggishness in going from card to card and rotating interfaces. I did not delete the unused images once the device was know and that might have helped performance. So I dropped the approach to look for better ways. In my first five or so apps I created the 'exact' layout and size of all of my custom controls in both their portrait and landscape modes on square cards and captured/stored that information pre-build. Then when launching on a device I loaded the appropriate set and its' landscape/portrait set. Two problems with that approach that I encountered: The first is that capturing 'all' properties is still not possible in the IDE in one simple command and the second is that any LC native controls will not draw at 2x size simply or reliably (You can fudge most properties but not all and I ended up creating custom versions of the native controls that I needed). Layout and size issues were also a problem when using native iOS controls with both custom and native LC controls with this approach. This turned out to be a lot of work. So I decided to create substacks for each device/resolution combo - which is a lot less work in laying out controls but is more difficult in scripting. The native control issue is still there however. I managed a few apps this way and it was easier to get my mind around and for exact laying out of controls. The last batch of apps I wrote (one of which I am showing at ISAAC here in Pittsburgh today) I decided to restrict the devices ti would run on and to create all custom controls and templates for those for pages in the app. With the success of these last few apps I decided to build a set of custom templates for each and every type of 'view' that I tend to use in my apps and re-using them in all my future apps. This is a lot of upfront work but then when building an app I can just focus on the app itself and not the controls. But, this doesn't work for every situation and other methods are still needed. -- Tom McGrath III http://lazyriver.on-rev.com 3mcgr...@comcast.net On Jul 29, 2012, at 7:13 PM, Monte Goulding wrote: I haven't said much in this discussion because it's all such a mess I don't know where to start. But to be honest, I agree that scaling would be better in general than sets of presized images, since as you say, they'd all need scaling anyway on some devices. Good point. I'll try to clarify my thoughts and perhaps start a new thread with a more appropriate subject. But if someone does want to implement separate image sets, I think it could be done with what we have now, without needing an extra engine property. I even started down that road on my current mobile project, but gave it up because it was just too fiddly and unreliable. I agree. The simplest way to handle this would be a library function. I rarely rely on the current directory being what it should be. I know I always reset it to the original after changing it for whatever reason but relying on everybody doing that seems a risk. I generally do something like the following because it works in development and standalone: put the effective filename of this stack into tPath set the itemDel to / put images/myimage.jpg into item -1 of tPath Now it would be really easy to write a function that returned a full image path given a relative path from the image folder. Assuming we know what density range we are running at we could easily add in the extra folder. Then what happens if the image isn't there. In java on android it searches up the density ranges for an image to scale down. If it doesn't find one it searches down for one to scale up. If we did that we would need to either scale the image before returning the path or return it with a scale difference from the environment. That all sounds complicated so it might be better to either not support that or just go with the live scaling thing.

Re: iOS - picking from a scrolling list
Howard, I am running out right now so I won't be able to look deeper into this just yet. But remember that with that code there are two scrolls going on. One for use in the IDE and the other for use on the device. The IDE code is:set the vScroll of group InputScrollerGroup to pOffsetY and the mobile code is: iphoneControlSet sScrollerId, vscroll, 0 If it is not going back to the top when coming back from another card then try adding both of them in an open card handler like this: on openCard iphoneControlSet sScrollerId, vscroll, 0 set the vScroll of group InputScrollerGroup to 0 end openCard to tested but should work if the controls exist at that point. I'll look at it later. HTHs -- Tom McGrath III http://lazyriver.on-rev.com 3mcgr...@comcast.net On Jul 29, 2012, at 5:34 PM, Howard Bornstein wrote: Hi Tom, Thank you for this code.

If I implement a scroller with your code, everything works they way I would expect it to. However, if I scroll the list (say half-way down) and then leave the card, when I return back, the top of the scrollable field is not at the top of the scroller group (which I would expect because of this line of code: set the top of field Counter to the top of group InputScrollerGroup) but is, in fact, half-way down the scroller group. Then, if I try to scroll the field up, it never gets to the bottom of the field, but instead bounces somewhere near the middle of the content. In other words, it looks like the entire field is offset down by some amount (probably a function of how much I had it scrolled before I left the card). I can't figure out why this would happen since the CloseCard handler deletes the IOS scroll group and OpenCard should create it fresh each time I go to the card.

Re: Preview of Resolution Independent Control library for RevMobile
In addition to the recent discussion, the hope would be to create a responsive interface layout: one that adapts to different screen dimensions/proportions. A good analogy is responsive web design (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsive_design), where the layout changes based on size thresholds. Between client work and talking about the issue with list members, one option for thresholds I had proposed is the following: 320x480 480x800 540x960 768x1024 800x1280 Once the dimensions of a device exceed one of the above thresholds, the layout changes to the next threshold, which could involve simple size adjustments, or proportional scaling. But detecting screen dimensions is not enough -- screen resolution throws a wrench into all of this. Hopefully between discussion on the list and developments on the RunRev side, we can figure out a solution.

When moving from desktop to mobile - size matters!
I have been knocking my head against this problem for a while (and just solved it) and thought that others might be interested... In a little desktop standalone I made use of a tweaked version of Obello's excellent custom slider - which worked great. I was then asked to try doing a mobile version, which was fine except when I was testing the app on an iPhone 4 the 'thumb' graphic part of the slider would not slide unless I gave it an initial 'stab' to get it moving. Eventually the answer dawned on me that perhaps the 'thumb' was too small for my fat fingers so I tried doubling it's size to 44x44 and it worked very nice without need for any initial 'stab'. So, the 'thumb' graphic at 22x22 worked fine with a mouse or even with a finger on the simulator, but not on an iPhone's screen - (forum entry here with full details http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=27t=12459p=59515#p59515). I think Apple's HIG recommends 40x40 pixels, but a 'thumb' at that size looks a bit silly, have any of you used 30x30 pixel controls and got through Apple's acceptance process?

Re: Can't PASTE into fields
I think if you have any menubar, wether there is a menu edit or not, you will not be able to use copy/paste at all, unless you have code added to your stack that the field can use. If you have a menubar, there are some situations where the IDE's menubar will be used, and some where yours will be used. Basically the IDE has scripts for copy paste behaviour, so when you use your own menu, or have a standalone with no copy/paste code from you, then it won't copy/paste at all. even shorter: automatic copy/paste handling does not exist.

Re: Preview of Resolution Independent Control library for RevMobile
Seems like the whole pixel coordinate system achilles heel is showing. Better would be a percentage system, so that theoretically I can set the topleft of a control to a percentage of the hv of the card. This really should be an engine change, but I suppose a library could be developed for this purpose. I'll have to think about it. Off the top of my head, it would seem to me to be better to start with the smallest res supported as the baseline layout, then scale up. Bob On Jul 28, 2012, at 1:49 PM, Monte Goulding wrote: For layout to play nicely with scaling it will need to place controls relative to each other and window boundaries and not include any reference to physical pixels without multiplying by a scaling factor. So if you want a field to have 3 px padding from the edge of the card you need to use 3 * scale. So I think unfortunately the layout lib would need to be dependent on the scaling lib.

Re: Upgrade to Mountain Lion and LiveCode 5.5.1 Problem
Roger, Just to confirm, I've upgraded to Mountain Lion on a lat 2008 15 MBP, have LiveCode 5.5.1 running, and Xcode 4.4 (4F250) and my iOS simulator is running OK. As your iOS simulator hangs by itself, it doesn't seem that the problem is Live Code related. If you have a spare USB drive, you might want to install Mountain Lion, LC, and Xcode on it, boot from it, and see if the problem persists. If not, then it's a call to Apple or a fresh install.

On Mac, that's inside the bundle. On Windows it's next to the standalone. However, there is (was?) a bug where the external files themselves didn't actually get copied. You have to move them there yourself after the build. In particular, where does it insert them in the path? Into the back, I believe. And does it use one object per external or one for all? I'm not sure what this means. The externals are available in the file directory and your scripts load them into RAM.

A good analogy is responsive web design (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsive_design), where the layout changes based on size thresholds. Between client work and talking about the issue with list members, one option for thresholds I had proposed is the following: 320x480 480x800 540x960 768x1024 800x1280 Once the dimensions of a device exceed one of the above thresholds, the layout changes to the next threshold, which could involve simple size adjustments, or proportional scaling. But detecting screen dimensions is not enough -- screen resolution throws a wrench into all of this.

Re: Preview of Resolution Independent Control library for RevMobile
I've been toying with the concept of loading the mainstack of a stackFile depending on if it's in the mobile or tablet category. The concept could be expanded to have as many size ranges and you want. If these ranges were able to be set by the dev then it would be quite flexible and allow anything from one UI stackFile for all ranges to very specific single size UI stackfiles for obscure devices that you want to support. The problem I see is you need to push as much code as possible out into libraries. I work that way but most livecoders don't. Once you develop for one device though you could just save as and adapt the stack for another device. Cheers -- M E R Goulding Software development services mergExt - There's an external for that!

One of the problems with this approach is that virtual machines typically have adjustable resolutions that can be anything.

Re: QuickTime on Windows
Thanks Scott. I just this second figured it out. I didn't give enough info for you to know what was wrong. QT is installed and I'm using long file paths, and it all works in the IDE. But -- here's what I left out -- I was running the standalone in Parallels from the network drive (i.e., the folder on my Mac.) All the play audioclip commands worked fine but players with sound files assigned didn't. Apparently QT doesn't like to load sound files from a virtually mounted drive. When I copied the sounds folder to the XP VM it started working. The question is though, how come QT was happy to load the file when it was running in the IDE? Weird. Doesn't matter I guess, the standalone will always be on the same drive with the app. But I like to know these things. Thanks again.

Any ideas on how can I prevent this freeze/lock-up from happening? --Forrest Doddington ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode -- Phil Davis ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
LiveCode iOS Externals rreNarrator
Hello World! I'm not certain earlier my postings made the list. I was able to join the RunRev Live conference via the virtual conference option. By way of background, I'd developed in HyperCard to develop an Interactive Video-Disc application controlled via the Mac, way back in 1990's while pursuing a Master's in Educational Technology at SDSU. I came across revolution a few years ago, and worked with it intermittently while at Ford Motor Company. More recently I've developed in Adobe Flex from 1.5 through 4.5; but I've recently jumped back to RunRev, I'm also setup with OnRev hosting. As for my project, I've got a working draft of a planned iPad app: it's working as a Macintosh application, I've tested in the iOS simulator, and I've been able to publish a few revisions directly to my iPad under a personal developer account. There are a couple issues that I'm bringing to the list: 1) I have a group with a scrolling field, and three buttons shared throughout a stack to appear as a common background. This functions fine in the Mac App version, but loaded on the iPad there is ONE card that appears to function, but the text is not visible. I've removed the group from this card, and replaced it but I have the same effect with loaded to the iPad. Thoughts on how to track this down? 2) As I mentioned, the speech synthesis is working on the desktop edition, but I need a bit of a kickstart for using the rreNarrator on the iPad. (I've located the source for the text-to-speech using 'flite,' the CMU speech synthesis project). First, it's barely mentioned on the SDK document, and I've attempted working through the example, to no avail. The video shows part of the process, but stops short of testing a working project, or showing details on integrating the external with actual LiveCode examples. The video focuses on creating a new Xcode project for the external, but I've got a working draft and I don't see how to install the external into a functional project. I'm not meaning to criticize, as I'm grateful to find that an external, the documentation, and samples are available, but I'm in need of a bit of guidance to get started with the text to speech external. If those of you with experience in the rreNarrator / or general externals use, would provide some further direction on list or directly, I'd be thankful. If you have a link to an article on integrating externals with LiveCode stacks, I'd like to see it.

Re: QuickTime on Windows
Jacqueline, I've been bit by this in the distant past and got in the habit of having the app determine the desired path so that it does not matter if running in the IDE or a standalone. I cant remember what the difference I ran into that made me start this.

I don't need to do the mapping for the final standalone, but I'm glad to know why it didn't work. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: No Code Signature Found
Thanks Randy I doesen't change any setting. But I make a check anyway its the same. And when I try with other profils/ certificates it does not change.

My Journey... Resolution Independent Control library.
I got LC 1 year ago for no other use than mobile. Very quickly I saw the LC light and am using it as a replacement for VB6, but I digress. When the multiple resolutions and rotation reality hit me. I first tried just to resize and re-position controls by a factor calculated from resizestack message (newWidth,newHeight,oldWidth,oldHeight). This of course introduced precision errors. This was very easy to see in the IDE by just grabbing a corner and changing the size of a card. This worked for a customer mobile demo with 1 resize and no rotation enabled. Then I dropped all app development and started writing a Resolution Independent Control library. If I had the LC knowledge at the time to implement a UI like the one that Chip and Ken previewed I would have done it. Very impressive guys!!! And I may be using yours in the future. But alas I went a different direction. As Bob points out below a percent type approach was what I went with. I had these requirements: 1 card per screen 1 set of images, but the ability to use multiple images if needed for exceptions. All resolutions and aspect ratios. Ability to change control layout (or not) based on screen orientation, resolution or aspect ratio Align controls with pixel precision. Easy initial layout. Not only resize the control but the text as well. Resize text by best fit, scaling best fit, percent of IDE size, scaling percent of IDE size. Aspect ratio locking by X or Y. Vertical centering of text. Work for both mobile and desktop Be a library stack Images are of sufficient quality to be scaled. Handle controls Images Single line text Fields Multi line text fields Buttons Button labels Button icons with zoom in/out Menu and tabbed controls. With the same text resizing options Groups Stamping controls in a group n across by z down Stamping of any collection of controls n across by z down It is implemented with call(s) to my library from a switch statement structure cased by card name in the preopencard and resizestack handlers in the stack script. Each call places 1 or more controls on a card. There are several calls per card as you could imagine. Calls are a bit clunky but quite fast once I got used to it. The calls have some advantages also. This makes different layouts defined by orientation/resolution/stack aspect ratios easy, just a switch statement away. A controls position/size is defined by a percent to each side of the bounding box. The rect of the bounding box is the edge of the card or the inside/outside edges of other controls. This makes putting controls inside other controls easy. Seeing that this is just a bunch of calls, the initial layout of a card is just spit balling. The actual positions won't happen until the calls are tested from the message box or by grabbing the corner of the card and changing the size and watch everything click into position. This way if you set a control to align 10% from the left, then all controls with a 10% left margin from the same edge will align perfectly. Edges have infinite length. If you have radio buttons then all the options will be spaced out evenly (or not). We all seem to be doing a lot of work for something that could have been handled in the engine. It would be nice if the mother ship could tell us physical size of the device even if it was just phone/tablet/TV. I'm happy with my solution for now. It works and I never care about new resolutions. New resolutions to me are just a. so you don't say. I am now changing PlaceControls from calls to a custom Property Set to keep the cards layout with the card and have no coding in the stack. I can then handle the preopencard and resizestack messages from the library stack. What a year!

Better would be a percentage system, so that theoretically I can set the topleft of a control to a percentage of the hv of the card. This really should be an engine change, but I suppose a library could be developed for this purpose. I'll have to think about it. Off the top of my head, it would seem to me to be better to start with the smallest res supported as the baseline layout, then scale up.
