Re: TSNet error 6

2017-09-05 Thread Charles Warwick via use-livecode

Hi Jacque,

Any of those error codes (6, 7 or 35) are reasonable if you are 
operating in an area with a really poor connection.


When you are operating on a public wifi, it could have a lot to do with 
how the wifi is configured, as Bob mentioned below.  How these are 
configured can vary greatly.


Depending on how far you want to go with testing, you could try see if 
your app can communicate with other sites when at these coffee shops.  
Does it only have trouble with HTTPS sites, or just certain sites?  If 
you browse to a site first with Chrome, does your app then work 
afterwards?  Does it have trouble if you try connect via the IP address 
rather than the hostname?


Cheers,

Charles

I just posted an Augmented Earth sample stack on LiveCode share

2017-09-05 Thread Jonathan Lynch via use-livecode
Hello everyone,

I just posted a sample version of my app on LC share, AKA rev online.

It points to my dev server, so there are no problems with you guys posting
test reports.

Hopefully this will help you guys with 3D mapping experiments you may have.
The sample stack pulls images from open street maps without a license. This
is only appropriate for experimenting. For distributing apps, you will need
to get a license with a map provider.

If anyone has any questions about how to do any of the stuff demonstrated
in the app, please feel free to ask them here.

I posted it leading up to my presentation at LC Global on Sept. 21 on 3D
Earth mapping.

Peace,

Jonathan

Bob what do you mean by `if not in development mode` here? Do you mean in a

Selections in Text Editor Revisited

I think Jacque is right that when dragging bottom up the issue of not all the 
text between the drag points being selected manifests itself. Also, I've 
noticed somewhere along the way that the indifidual revNewScriptEditor windows 
do not maintain their own insertion/selection properties, and as a result, 
selecting something in one tab will cause the other tabs to "forget" their 
selection, and that may have something to do with it as well.

Something is wrong with 8.1.7 RC1

2017-09-05 Thread Bob Sneidar via use-livecode
Hi all. Just tried 8.1.7 RC1 for OS X. My code starts to fail right away. I 
have a simple handler called ArrangeMenus, which if not in development mode 
removes a couple menu buttons, then bumps the buttons over filling in the gaps. 
In 8.1.6 runs fine. In 8.1.7 in a repeat loop I get object is not a container, 
and more importantly, variables that the handler just created are not visible 
in the debugger, as though the variables do not exist in memory. 

Something is horribly wrong with this build.

If you try to install an apk to device using a different way than the Test

No worries. Glad the link was a good one.

Looking for usual patterns can help, but only so much.  After all, if 
they're usual they're usually found in the usual places, and things like 
mailing lists often have public archives.


Ralph's practice of keeping his browser containerized is probably the 
best bet, something Qubes OS is designed to do for all apps, and 
something we'll likely see more of from other OS vendors.


For us app developers, and old-time users accustomed to freely 
interoperating among programs, the future may seem a dim place, where 
each process is ever more tightly sandboxed, with what little data is 
allowed to be exchanged happening through narrow channels controlled by 
the OS.


But with things like IDN homograph attacks, there's really nothing 
anyone can do to prevent clicking on bad URLs - we either give up 
clicking URLs altogether, or accept ever tighter app sandboxing.

Even if the link seems to direct to a file, this could not be the case. The 
following link for example directs also to a pdf

https://qck.biz/sample.pdf 

but the server redirects that link to a .lc file which outputs some text and 
runs a javascript (just an popup box).

So you never can be sure. ;)

Re: Deploying to Android (Amazon Fire 7)

I don’t know the answer to your question, but as far as testing a LiveCode app 
on Android goes, I would use the Development menu, Test Target, Test, to try it 
on a connected Android device.

For installing an APK I would usually just post it online somewhere, that way I 
can try it on various devices without having to connect them, or even have them 
at all (it might be someone else doing the testing).

One odd thing you said, as far as I know Fire is always in developer mode.

Re: Deploying to Android (Amazon Fire 7)

2017-09-05 Thread Peter Reid via use-livecode
Hi Jonathan, Colin & Jacqueline

Thanks for the various suggestions.

On my Mac, I have installed the Java SDK 8.144 and Android Studio 2.3.3 
together with Android File Transfer.  In LC 8.1.6 I have set up the reference 
to the Android SDK (/Users/peter/Library/Android/sdk/).  On my Amazon Fie 7 
tablet, I have enabled Developer mode and EDB debugging.

With this set-up I am able to build an APK app package and copy the APK to the 
Downloads folder on the tablet.  If I tap open the APK file it offers to 
install it, with 2 apparently active buttons - Cancel and Install (both in the 
same colour orange text). The screen correctly list the facilities the app will 
need access to.  However, only the Cancel responds to a tap, the Install does 
nothing and says nothing!

Any suggestions as to how I get over this last hurdle?

Thanks

Peter

Re: [ANN] Release 8.1.7 RC-1

2017-09-05 Thread panagiotis merakos via use-livecode
Well, that would take us a step (or lots of steps!) back :)

The dictionary in LC < 8 is totally different, it is a .livecode stack that
displays .xml files (e.g. the dictionary entries).

In LC 8+ it uses a browser widget, and all the entries have been re-written
to .lcdoc files. This makes it more easily maintainable and extensible.

BTW the bug I was referring to (in LC 8), which describes a workaround is
this one:

http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16848

Workaround described in comment 81(!) and/or 96(!)

 I have no problems with the dictionary in openSUSE (an unsupported
 distro!) in any LC 8.x version including this one. In fact, I haven't
 encountered this issue in any of the many different unsupported
 distros I've tested.

 I do, however, suffer from the problem with the dictionary/browser in
 the later versions of LC 9. Aren't these issues the result of at least
 two distinct problems?

Even if the link seems to direct to a file, this could not be the case. The 
following link for example directs also to a pdf

https://qck.biz/sample.pdf 

but the server redirects that link to a .lc file which outputs some text and 
runs a javascript (just an popup box).

So you never can be sure. ;)

as the Dictionary DOES WORK for LC 7.1.4 with Linux would it not be 
possible to

port that for LC 9?

 I guess I need to get a VM configured with Linux to test.I've been trying 
to help with the dictionary but so far only testing with Mac/Win.One thing 
I do notice is that it does take a while to load.Switching to the guide and 
back to API usually has it finish loading.Of course if the whole IDE is 
frozen then that won't do any good.

Re: Bu**ered by Bug reporter

2017-09-05 Thread Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode
Well, as nobody bothered to tell me how to solve this I spent quite some 
time p*ssing around with a

counter-intuitive thing until I worked out how to do it.

Just found that clicking the button 'Dictionary' on the revMenuBar stack 
in LC 9 dp 8 on Xubuntu 16.04 LTS
freezes the whole IDE, and the only way to sort this out is by sending a 
KILL signal to Livecode; far from satisfactory


(quite apart from the NON dictionary).

Clicking on "Forgot Password" on http://quality.livecode.com/

If you don't want to install Android File Transfer you can also use a cloud 
service like Dropbox to move the apk to the device.

A few more pointers:

You need to have Android File Transfer installed on your Mac.

You need to put the android device into developer mode. You can find 
instructions for this online.


When you connect the device to a Mac you need to go into the settings in 
Android and change the setting for the connection from charging to file 
transfer.


After you are in developer mode and after you have set it to allow file 
transfers, drag the Android standalone file from your Mac finder app into a 
convenient folder in the Android File Transfer app.


In the Android device, open up the Amy Files app and click on the file you 
transferred. This will install the app. You can run it from there.

Hi Peter,

Are you able to produce the android standalone file?

I just copy that file to my android device and click on it to install it. I 
find it much easier than iOS.

OK, I've been round the various circles (Lessons, Forum trails, etc.) but 
I'm completely confused!


On my Mac, I've tried installing Java SDK 8.144, Android Studio 2.3.3 and 
set up LC 8.1.6 to point at the Android root.  However, I can't see how I 
get to specify an Android device - a previous Android SDK had menu options 
for this, but the Studio doesn't seem to offer this without diving into a 
new project.


I'm a simple animal who needs a straightforward list of things to do in 
sequence.  I'm trying to do the following:


1. For me, install whatever I need to be able to develop Android apps on my 
Mac (macOS Sierra 10.12.6), with LiveCode 8.1.6 Business.
2. For a friend running Windows 7 64-bit, install whatever they need to be 
able to develop Android apps with LiveCode 8.1.6 Community.


In both cases, the target device is the latest spec. Amazon Fire 7 Tablet 
(2017).  For my friend, this is their 1st go at programming and I've 
persuaded them to try LiveCode, with me setting it up for them and 
providing tutoring support.  Between us, we're hoping to develop a very 
simple app to help aged relatives and friends.


LiveCode emphasises ease and speed of development, which I agree with over 
the 18 years I've used it (almost completely desktop/laptop developments).  
However, getting set up for mobile development is confusing, tedious and 
tortuous!


Please can someone give me 2 step-by-step guides for these 2 development 
facilities.


Thanks

OK, Bob, and all others who find it creepy when I use my full name:

I didn't!

My FULL NAME is John Richmond Mathewson.

The only people who call me 'John' are my family and the children I teach.

I have used my second name since 1988 for all professional activities 
[mainly because I was, at that time, working at a Primary school in the UAE,
where teachers are always called 'Mr John' or 'Mr Richmond' and there 
was another teacher who was older than me whose name was 'John'].


End of transparent patch!

Sometimes spending too much time on, frankly, extremely petty things 
like this could be a waste of time.

I always advise people to have a little text signature so that people can

Hi Ralph,

No, it should not, otherwise you would not be able to build device

empty for me (checked on Indy and Business).

Maybe a failure during installation? Strange. Could you try to delete and

Re: [ANN] Release 8.1.7 RC-1

2017-09-05 Thread Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode

Excited by many things.

I wonder if snapshot, which was failing on desktop (Mac and Linux at least)
has been sorted out?

Majorly %^&*($# by this:

The Linux version of LiveCode is STILL NOT loading a dictionary.

[ I see that that problem has been "solved" in LC 9 dp 8 by simply 
inactivating the Dictionary button on Linux. ]


So, as I stated before:

"always something new to fiddle around with", and CAREFULLY avoided writing:

somethings never seem to get completely sorted out,

but, as you "rose to the bait" I have "baited my hook".

Whatever my sour responses, LiveCode still "rocks the socks" off all
the also-rans.

Re: remote debugging just stopped being available.

2017-09-05 Thread Mike Kerner via use-livecode
20332 on this bug.  Now I've got at least one or two more RD bugs that I'm
working on reporting - one is the crash, the other is one that seems to be
causing RD to not work at all for me, either.
20333 on the mergAV/remote debug crash

I built a little sample app to see if I could further diagnose what's going
on with RD, and I can't seem to get the RD to fire, now, either.

Re: [ANN[ Release 8.1.7 RC-1

2017-09-05 Thread panagiotis merakos via use-livecode
Hi Ralph,

No, it should not, otherwise you would not be able to build device
standalones using Xcode 8.3.x on Sierra. BTW I just checked and it is not
empty for me (checked on Indy and Business).

Maybe a failure during installation? Strange. Could you try to delete and
reinstall?

Best regards,
Panos

That is interesting. Coffe Shops/Public Wifi typically use a proxy server and 
that may be what is restricting your DNS resolution. And yeah it could 
definitely be a router issue as well. Sometimes I have to reboot the router at 
work. No rhyme or reason, it just stops passing traffic and I have to reset it. 
Wireless is black magic voodoo anyways.

I think I had filed one in the past, but I cannot find it now (this is
related to mergDeploy external). So, yes please, if you don't mind, can you
file one?

BTW what was the exact error?

Yeah, I just discovered that a little while ago.  So, is there a bug
report?  Should I file one?  I didn't see one in the list.  The only PP bug
I see is the one I filed a couple months ago on the other issue.

2017-09-05 Thread panagiotis merakos via use-livecode
I believe a lot of users will be excited by this release (including
myself), since several known long-standing issues are addressed. Just a
sample of them:

9992 Export snapshot fails on iOS
16029 AppleScript dictionary seems to be absent
17098 Cursor does not move after hitting TAB when tab is right-aligned
17639 Cursor in fields renders in wrong position in fields with
fixedLineHeight=false

Re: TSNet error 6

2017-09-05 Thread Bob Sneidar via use-livecode
If you are referring to the server using an IP address, then DNS is out of the 
equation, unless tsnet is internally trying to resolve a DNS name, which it 
might if signed SSL certificates are involved. If that is the case, then yes, 
it is out of your control, much like my Forms Generator app, when the local IT 
at a site has locked down outbound connections to SQL servers, or all DNS 
queries go through their content management system. 

In these cases, knowing the IP of the certificate server (like go daddy or 
network solutions) would not help as these are usually server farms and the IP 
address can change moment to moment. DNS is essential. It is possible (though 
definitely not prescribed) to create a hosts entry for one of the IP addresses 
of the cert authority, but there is no guarantee that server will be online in 
the future.

Re: remote debugging just stopped being available.

2017-09-05 Thread panagiotis merakos via use-livecode
If the app never installs on the phone, it is likely because of some
provisioning profile-related issue (arghh!). Unfortunately this kind of
error msgs are not shown when using the "Test" button.

So I suggest you build an iOS standalone and try to install the app on the
device using Xcode. This will (hopefully) show an error dialog with a
descriptive msg when it tries to install the app into the phone.

Best,
Panos

Re: remote debugging just stopped being available.

2017-09-05 Thread Mike Kerner via use-livecode
Well,
Because if my funky remote debug crashing, yesterday, I just built a new
app to see if I can reproduce the crash so I can file a bug report
App created
Remote debugger selected in inclusions
profile selected, ios selected for build, name set
Phone set as test target
Nets are the same
Hit test
Everything seems ok, but the app never installs on the phone.
(cringes and waits for someone to point out the silly thing I forgot to do)

I never click these links. I can never know if your account was hacked and
someone is spamming the list with a drive by. 

I always advise people to have a little text signature so that people can
tell who know you that the email came from you personally. My Dad used to
use L/D for Love Dad. I use Bob S. Your full name won't do, that is
something a spammer could easily put in the email themselves. 

I think if everyone on the list followed this practice, and we got used to
seeing that signature in all your posts, we would be more inclined to do
what we have always been taught to NEVER NEVER DO, and that is, click the
link.

Re: remote debugging just stopped being available.

You also have to set the test target, and make sure your device is
recognized.  Yesterday, for example, the phone I was using to test kept
disappearing from the list, so I had to disconnect/reconnect it.  I didn't
come up with a recipe that would let the team dive in and try to fix it.

The 'customProperties' property returns an array... So try:

  put the keys of (the customProperties of me) into fld "propps"

Re: Deploying to Android (Amazon Fire 7)

2017-09-05 Thread Jonathan Lynch via use-livecode
A few more pointers:

You need to have Android File Transfer installed on your Mac.

You need to put the android device into developer mode. You can find 
instructions for this online.

When you connect the device to a Mac you need to go into the settings in 
Android and change the setting for the connection from charging to file 
transfer.

After you are in developer mode and after you have set it to allow file 
transfers, drag the Android standalone file from your Mac finder app into a 
convenient folder in the Android File Transfer app.

In the Android device, open up the Amy Files app and click on the file you 
transferred. This will install the app. You can run it from there.

Deploying to Android (Amazon Fire 7)

2017-09-05 Thread Peter Reid via use-livecode
OK, I've been round the various circles (Lessons, Forum trails, etc.) but I'm 
completely confused!

On my Mac, I've tried installing Java SDK 8.144, Android Studio 2.3.3 and set 
up LC 8.1.6 to point at the Android root.  However, I can't see how I get to 
specify an Android device - a previous Android SDK had menu options for this, 
but the Studio doesn't seem to offer this without diving into a new project.

I'm a simple animal who needs a straightforward list of things to do in 
sequence.  I'm trying to do the following:

1. For me, install whatever I need to be able to develop Android apps on my Mac 
(macOS Sierra 10.12.6), with LiveCode 8.1.6 Business. 
2. For a friend running Windows 7 64-bit, install whatever they need to be able 
to develop Android apps with LiveCode 8.1.6 Community.

In both cases, the target device is the latest spec. Amazon Fire 7 Tablet 
(2017).  For my friend, this is their 1st go at programming and I've persuaded 
them to try LiveCode, with me setting it up for them and providing tutoring 
support.  Between us, we're hoping to develop a very simple app to help aged 
relatives and friends.

LiveCode emphasises ease and speed of development, which I agree with over the 
18 years I've used it (almost completely desktop/laptop developments).  
However, getting set up for mobile development is confusing, tedious and 
tortuous!

Please can someone give me 2 step-by-step guides for these 2 development 
facilities.

Thanks

Peter
