[ANN] SivaSiva App on Google Play

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

Jai Ganesha!

My new Pixel arrived the day before Pancha Ganapati amidst a 72 hour solo code 
sprint, working with the new 8.1.9 to get an Android version done. At the last 
minute I solved rendering issues on Android (not happening on Desktop or iOS)  
and with a little help from Jacque, today got the app up on Google play.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.himalayanacademy.sivasiva=en

I want to thank the team in Edinburgh for the hard work that got us here and 
all the support from this community, especially Jacqueline and Andre and all of 
you who have been so patient and generous with your time and answering and 
sharing your knowledge.

FWIW:

Our app opens and closes stacks aka "modules"…. we had a serious rendering 
issue with our "Journal" module… this reads  data from a dbase that tracks 
users history, lets her mark favorites etc. It uses a template "subgroup" on 
card 2… which includes a few widget icons. The "layout" command deletes the 
parent group "item list" on card 1 and then locks the screen and adds subgroups 
to the main group… as many as 50-100.  AcceleratedRendering is required for 
scrolling  this "beast" of a parent group. going to the journal consistently 
locked up the screen  on Android, cause quits and strange ghastly images on 
screen…  until I changed the order and timing of events, which, in the end, is 
just "logical"
This works:

1) we turn off accelerated Rendering of Stack A, but leave it open (You have to 
have a stack open all the time)

2) Open stack "journal" and in the preopenstack handler, delete any existing 
"item list" (will not exist on mobile, but does during dev)

3) the key was DO NOT set the acceleratedRendering, and issue the layout 
command (which fetches and builds the parent group dynamically.   in either the 
preopenstack NOR the preopenCard handler!

my gut is telling me there is a conflick on mobile between Stack A being open 
while Stack B tries to open and run stuff in the preopen handlers, but I just 
guessing.

4) What works is: open the journal Stack B, our navigation system will the 
close Stack A. I throw up a small busy indicate and a bottom toast (hardly 
needed) saying "Loading Entries"
5) Now, *after* the card is open and Stack A is closed, on openCard, set the 
acceleratedRendering to true, lock the screen, run the layout routine which 
build the giant parent group with subgroups and unlock the screen.

After doing getting this to work… it seemed just so obvious the best practice 
order of events…

It's just that on desktop and iOS, it did not seem to matter what you did 
first, or in what order or whether you did stuff in the preopenstack handler 
(where we were issuing the layout command before)

but now it works. We still have some crashes here and there and there seems to 
be a regression in the browser widget in 8.1.9 when you rotate the phone to 
landscape if the video has not been loaded yet from YouTube.  (only on Android) 
But otherwise the app is running pretty well, given all the arms and legs it 
has.

Cheers and Happy Solstice/New Year to all!

Brahmanathaswami

Richmond,

do you know http://archive.org? 

This site is an archive of many many websites.

As i am not sure when version 2.0 was released (i early started 2005 with 
Revolution Studio 2.5)
I tried the year 2003.

This link for example

https://web.archive.org/web/20030605125616/http://www.runrev.com:80/Revolution1/downloads.html
 


allowed me to select and download version 2.0.2 of revolution studio for Mac OS 
X. The above link lists several operating system options.


The direct link to the Mac OS X file btw. is

Hope this helps.

Re: Using open process instead of shell

[Mike Bonner via use-livecode]

had one more thought to make it easier.  go back to your original idea of
using a shell script but make the script have the format..

#!/bin/sh
[your command here]
echo "Command Complete"

That way, its easy to see when an individual command finishes.

In addition, if you use 3 separate files, 1 for each of your 3 commands,
named logically, you can easily grok which what to do with each.

Finally, for the [your command here] part.. If you want to be able to run
more than 1 at once, if you pass in your arguments as parameters, you don't
have to rewrite the file each time, you just pass in your changeables and
go.

IIRC $0 will contain the name of the shell script any further parameters
will continue in that vein..

For a very simple example, if your shell script named test.sh were to
contain
#!/bin/sh
ls $1
echo
find . |grep $2
echo "Command Complete"

you can run it with--
./test.sh /var barncard

the output would be a listing of the files in folder /var
a space
and a listing of files and folders from the current directory downward that
contain the string barncard.

Should make it easy enough to fire off jobs, multiple if you wish as long
as your parameters differ (so that the open process string is unique)  This
should make it easy to queue up your commands.. Depending on hardware it
might be possible to have 2 or 3 sets (or more?  no clue what hardware you
have) at once.  It would depend on cpu threads and how much load you wanted
to put on things.

Sorry for all the blabbing, had a good day so my thinker is kinda working.

Everyone have a Merry one!
