Null character in text fields

[Peter Bogdanoff via use-livecode]

Hi,

I have a problem with “funny” characters showing in fields of Chinese text in 
LC projects on PCs with a Chinese version of Windows (7 & 10) installed. 
Non-Chinese, standard version of Windows don’t show this. The character 
displays as a rectangular box. LiveCode 8.3 & 8.9.

When in a script I do:

put nativeCharToNum(char 22 of line 66 of field "Contents”)

it returns “0” (a zero).

The htmlText of the field seems to show an entity:

�

On the Web, I see that char 0 is the null character. A search for � returns 
no results. 

So, I’m going to write a script to replace � with empty in the htmlText. 
Hopefully this will remove it. Our translator in China will have to test the 
script to see if it works.

Has anyone seen this before? Or know how it could have sneaked into the text? 
The original text was brought in from English Word files of 1990s vintage, and 
modified and translated since then.

It is interesting that these LC/Windows renders this character this way only on 
Chinese Windows systems, and gives it this HTML entity.

button action different on Android

[Nicolas Cueto via use-livecode]

Developing a stack on windows, which has two groups of 30 buttons
contiguosly placed, and each button's settings are:

'''
style=standard

autohilite, sharedhilite, focuswithkeyboard, focusborder,
defaultbutton,disabled = FALSE

visible, opaque, show name, 3-D, showborder=TRUE
''

On Android, after a button is tapped, its appearance is inconsistent. It
looks either:
1. first depressed (inset?) and then un-depressed
2. first depressed and remains depressed

It seems the difference in appearance depends on the time length of the
tap, and perhaps too on how narrow/small the buttons are (my fingertip is
almost larger than the button height). If a tap is very brief, the button
returns to an un-depressed state; if longishly held, the button stays
depressed.

However on windows, the buttons show no depressed-undepressed change. They
remain as they appear when mouse-clicked.

So, how can I get those buttons to work on Android the same as they do on
Windows, i.e, no depressed-undepressed appearance change?

Thank you.

Re: LC9 and Windows Unicode bug?

[Brian Milby via use-livecode]

I'm seeing the same results Mac Sierra / Win 10.  But, you can open the
file as binary.

...
open file theFile for binary read
...

Function Readln FILE_NAME
   Read from file FILE_NAME until Return
   Delete last char of it
   Return textDecode(it,"UTF-8")
End Readln

Function Readbk FILE_NAME
   Read from file FILE_NAME until numToChar(1)
   Delete last char of it
   Return textDecode(it,"UTF-8")
End Readbk

When I change to reading the file as binary, then I get the same (as far as
I can tell) results left/right fields.

Re: mergDoc - no preview, no sharing

[Monte Goulding via use-livecode]

Hi Ralf

I think there is a bug or perhaps deliberate policy change on 11.2+ that means 
that files from within the app bundle are not recognised correctly. Try copying 
files out of the bundle.

Cheers

Monte

LC9 and Windows Unicode bug?

[Paul Dupuis via use-livecode]

I have found a bug in LC9.0.0 under Windows 8.1 that does not appear
under OSX (Mavericks).

When reading a UTF-8 file via Open File, Read From File, Close File (vs
say a Put URL ...into tVar; put textDecode(tVar,"UTF-8") into ...) I am
seeing a problem decoding Traditional Chinese and Japanese characters.

The bug report below has a ZIP file with a test stack and a UTF-8 file
to show the problem

https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21316

Can any one on this list with a Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 system and

mergDoc - no preview, no sharing

I am particularly interested to know if handler mergDocShowPreview

My tests using the mergDoc.livecode demo in LC 9.0 as well as in LC 8.1.10

mergDocShowPreview worked for .png files only
“Copy to …” share extensions using mergDocShowOpenInMenu
or the share button fails although mergDocCanOpen() returns true,
the modal just shows the file name and “Office Open XML show” for
.ppsx files as an example

Simulator: iOS 11.2 on iPad Pro 10.5 inch

mergDocShowPreview works for all files
“Copy to …” share extensions using mergDocShowOpenInMenu
or the share button can not be tested


Device: iOS 11.3.1 on iPad Air

mergDocShowPreview works for all files
“Copy to …” share extensions using mergDocShowOpenInMenu
or the share button fails although mergDocCanOpen() returns true,
the modal just shows the file name and “Office Open XML show” for

Re: How To Become Android Developer

[panagiotis merakos via use-livecode]

Hi all,

The older versions of Android SDK Tools now are a bit difficult to find, as
they are well-hidden in Google's archives.

If e.g. you need version 24.4 (which I confirm works as expected), try
these links, depending on the platform you are:

http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r24.4-windows.zip
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r24.4-macosx.zip
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r24.4-linux.zip

Best,
Panos

BR,

This works for me.

For JDK:
JDK 1.8.0_121

Android Dev SDK:
Just download only the platform tools not the entire dev platform.
In the "android" utility

Under Tools install:
Android SDK Tools 25.2.5
Android SDK Platform-tools 27.0.1
Android SDK Build-tools 27.0.3

Under Android 4.4.2 (API 19) install:
SDK Platform v4
Google APIs v20 (don’t know if you need this one)

I looked at the list a green tick means it’s ok a red cross means it isn’t, the 
crosses I saw were usually server links and a Mac dang or 2

I didn’t try because the ones that had crosses were mostly business server ... 
coincidence I think not

How To Become Android Developer

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

Can someone please update the lesson How to Become an Android Developer? On the 
Livecode site.

1) Load JAVA SDK – (JDK) – Takes you to JAVA SE 10.0.1
- which I believe in incompatible with LC.  

java SE 8u171/ 8u172. Works, but there is no mentioned about that the Lesson.

Anyway. Got it stalled. 

2) Android SDK 

The link for the Android Studio page.
 For the SDK only options, we find

sdk-tools-darwin-3859397.zip

Hanson says to get, in the lesson, "android-sdk_r090-macosx.zip:

Hanson says " The current version of the SDK Tools is not compatible with 
LiveCode. Please download version 24.4.1."   Looking on the internet for 
"android SDK 24.4.1" only to find links... that take back the Android Studio 
page.. with no options other than sdk-tools-darwin-3859397.zip. 

OK so I download that

But there was no "android-sdk-mac/tools/android" file to run

ever I did find what it need, can we trust the lesson on what packages to 
install? If seems way out of data.

Now I'm stuck...searching the mailing list

Not sure about Mobile, but I was under the impression that Livecode handled 
path conversion internally if forward slashes were used. There are also path 
conversion functions. I usually check the platform, then do some basic checks 
for formatting and pop an error if invalid. I also filter for valid characters,

Re: Is anyone using tsNet external with LCserver?

Hi Mark,

I think the LiveCodeCommunityPlus Server has no difference from the
LiveCodeCommunity Server. Using "Community" instead of "CommunityPlus" in
the previous link does work.

RE the commercial servers (Indy and Business), you can access them only if
you login to your livecode.com account, so there is no URL of this form
which you can alter to give you a direct download.

Re: LC & Java

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Ever since Hypercard I have loved the "do something to something else with some 
other things" approach, and also that I don't have to worry about variable 
typing, declaration and scope. These are all issues that (I assume) you will 
have to accomodate with Javascript, along with it's syntax "variable = 
getSomething(thing1, thing2)" and the way they define control structures.

Re: losing font info in fields again

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

By the way, I am noticing that a number of complaints about the IDE involve 
copying or creating and destroying lots of objects from one place to another. 
I'm curious why this would be necessary, unless you are building some kind of 
IDE tool that replicates objects like the tools pallette does. 

This seems to me to hearken back to the Hypercard method where stacks were 
optimized for this sort of thing, and cards and fields were considered a kind 
of storage object in leiu of a database for the information to be retrieved and 
updated. 

While I am sure you have a reason for your methodology, it may be better to 
simply have a script which creates new objects, then sets the appropriate 
properties of the objects to their counterparts. Also, if you are storing data 
in the above described manner, it may be a good time to cut over to using a 
database, even a simple one to store your data. If text formatting is an issue, 
you can get the htmltext of a field and store that in a blob column. 

In fact that might be a good idea for a plugin: A library of common objects 
stored and retrieved for recreation in an sqLite database.

Re: execution doesn't stop when multiple function calls in a line

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

I'll take a stab here. The line is one statement with functions that must each 
be evaluated in turn according to the order of precedence. Because it's one 
statement, I suspect each getVal() function is getting queued as though you 
used send in time, so as soon as a breakpoint is encountered, you introduce 
idle time in which the engine can work. 

This is why I like to separate out functions that return a value, like so:

breakpoint
put getVal("abc", dbtr) into tVal1
put getVal("def", dbtr) into tVal2
put getVal("ghi", dbtr) into tVal3
put getVal("jul", dbtr) into tVal4
setVal "someVal", tVal1 + tVal2 + tVal3 + tVal4

Now I can debug each function independently, first by monitoring the values 
returned to see if they are what I expect, and then stepping into the ones that 
don't return what I expect. This was actually discussed many years ago in a 
Livecode Conference in one of the coding classes. While it may look efficient 
to embed functions within functions, it's much easier to troubleshoot by 
breaking out each command or function.

Re: LiveCode Builder linter support for Atom

[Brian Milby via use-livecode]

 In addition to the language-livecode package, you need to install the
linter package and the dependencies. Linter has a few settings where the
defaults seem fine.

in the language-livecode package there are a few more settings:

LiveCode server engine path (if you put it in the path, then just the name
of the executable is needd)
Compiler path for LCB and Module path for LCB.  Both of those would use the
same info as the SublimeText entries.

The readme for the package also covers the details a bit.

Thanks,
Brian

check the "editBackground" property in the dictionary.

Re: Strange error from iOS Standalone Builder

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Not knowing much specifically about these problems, but having some experience 
in secure communications as an IT person, encryption standards are in a state 
of constant flux. Old ciphers are abandoned over time and new ones are 
implemented. I've mentioned before the debaucle in the copier industry (and 
many others I've heard) because of the heart bleed SSL bug which required the 
retooling of *every device* that used the old standards. 

The cure for all this is to try and use the most recent ciphers when possible, 
and that may mean having to create new certs on a regular basis. That is why 
certs have an expiry. That is one of the functions of certificate servers. It's 
one reason why self-signed certs are not trusted by many apps and devices. 

If you are implementing trust and encryption in your apps, this needs to be a 
regular process that you engage in.

Re: Windows 10 and LC9.0

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

I will say that from time to time while scriptint and debugging, my IDE wil 
CTD, but if I start up again and do the exact same thing I did before, it 
works. Because I cannot pin down the cause I don't want to report it. I am 
using LC 9.0.0 in MacOS 10.13.4. 

This isn't addressed to anyone in particular, but I understand it's frustrating 
at times that the IDE can be problematic. Let me just say with the humblest of 
intentions, reporting it here does not help the dev team much. They have a 
workflow driven by the Quality Control Center. If we do not report bugs, we 
really don't have a horse in the race when it comes to the stability and 
usability of the product.

I got this exact error recently(a week ago) when I renewed my development

downloaded it and then edited all the provisioning profiles and assigned them

Downloaded the provisioning profiles in Xcode. Then all worked again.

I also deleted all old development certificates in the Keychain app.

That is a good point. You can have an account with no password set, but a 
number of things will not work with it, including the keychain which I believe 
MUST have a password.

Fwd: Is anyone using tsNet external with LCserver?

[Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode]

Hi Charles,

i´ve checked now and my custom 8.1.10 LC Server Business returns Professional.
The tsNet-x64.so file was copied directly into the ‘externals' folder in 
cgi-bin.
The file was taken from a Livecode Business 8.1.10 Mac OX S app bundle.

So this seems all to be correct, but it doesn´t work.

I even tried Livecode Server Indy 8.1.10 and the tsNet-x64.so from  8.1.10 Indy 
Mac OX X app bundle.
The same.

Any ideas what i can try next? What am i missing?

Regards
Matthias

 Hi Charles,
 
 thanks. Unfortunately it does not work. I have a Hosting account at 
 HostM.com . They installed a Livecode server commercial 
 version for me  for all of my accounts months ago, so i do not have to 
 install it for every addon domain folder.
 Today they installed the tsNet External into the Externals folder for me. 
 But it was not working.
 I get this error message:
 file "/home/ua82/public_html/domain1/index.lc"
 row 2, col 1: Handler: can't find handler (tsNetinit)
 This is what they replied to support request.
 "It looks like you may have to contact the developer of tsNet so they can 
 look into this and run some tests on their end.
 The issue is complicated by the fact that the following commands do not 
 currently seem to work properly on LiveCode Server (9.0.0) in order to 
 verify which externals and their functions etc. have been loaded:
 put the externals of stack “Home"
 put the externalCommands of stack “Home"
 put the externalFunctions of stack “Home"
 put the externalPackages of stack “Home”
 With all of the above command always returning empty, there becomes more 
 difficult to determine if the issue that you’re experiencing is caused by 
 tsNet not wanting to load to begin with, or by a bug in tsNet itself, but 
 the developer should be able to look into this.”
 
 Any idea what might cause this.

To Sean - This was sent on Saturday but found the bit bucket

[Lagi Pittas via use-livecode]

Hi Sean,

First I must say that I am  relieved that you are ok - and didn't do
whatyou hinted at. I also admit to being the perpetrator of the heinous
crime of trying to help "one of us" in distress. But no, I didn't send the
police.

I did read your email to  the end btw - we do care even if you think the
world is against you at the moment! - If you don't have empathy then you
are a Politician or a Psychopath.

Before I start my lengthy stream of consciousness (ramblings?) please
accept the invite because gofundme keep sending me emails and I  do not
have access to the money.


Pride comes before a fall and respect isn't lost for one "failure" those
who love and respect you do for the sum total of your life not the
"failures" which can in many respects be out of our control.

And paraphrasing Roosevelt ...
"The  man who never had something go wrong  never did anything".

"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people
who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all." Dale
Carnegie


Please re-read what you said and tell me how I was to react to this how
would I or your family have felt  if "goodbye" really was goodbye and we
had done nothing 


 I am £1000's down and well out of pocket. I will never
get it back. I have/will-have lost everything. I don't think I can come
back from this. My life is worth £0, especially to you guys. I'm like
abandon-ware. Your failure cost someone their life (not to mention his wife
and two boys who may well miss him but will be better off without him for
making the mistake of using LC and all things LC!).



Now my life is over. Worst Day Ever! Miserable. Rained on
and soaked through. Insurance doesn't cover for events like this and not
one person at LC or on here will be able to help me out of this hole. I
guess this is goodbye.


I might not have bothered except for the first  paragraph sounding so
final. it didn't sound like "shit this is bad". We have all  been faced
with a situation that seemed hopless and i've got that  t-shirt more times
than I care to remember.

 TL;DNR -- Short version SHIT HAPPENS!!! but never give up.

The worst  was when I was in hospital ready to start chemotherapy and
attached to a trolley having a blood transfusion and trying to finish  off
a program/demo (on my 386 windows 3.1  PC "kindly" brought in by my
partner) . We were going up  against some rather large companies for a
demonstration to British Telecom the next day.
I finished the program and in the end the program that won the contract,
did so because it had a GUI (it was written in VB) - Mine was written in
Turbo C with a dos windowing system and a multitasking kernel (it was a
multline voice application with a built in mini Domain Specific Language  I
wrote). The fact that it would not be seen by ordinary mortals and would be
in a "closet" just working it seems was secondary to the eye candy.

When I got out of hospital I wrote a VB front end to it and got it
installed into the biggest Opticians in the country - great I thought the
big time. No such luck - they were bought out and my system was replaced by
one of the big boys - to this day my system has stuff
that none of the later systems have.

O well. Get another  system into a  large telecommunications company  -
programmed to do what they wanted - we were vying against Digital Equipment
corporation and IBM, - I won because I  I could do it in 4 months (I did it
in 3) and they said a year. It worked! They then gave me a new contract job
to do,  that  saved them thousands  - great I thought my meal ticket - No
such luck  they were bought out by Vodaphone and DEC got back in.

I could go on. I created a system for a financial services company bought
out by a bigger firm and my system was replaced by IBM. Did I give up no.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPb8tb3D6N0

There have been more before and  since , there have been  BUGS in Borland
C,  Foxpro, TAS, Clipper, VB, Delphi, UCSD Pascal, AlphaSoftware  - but
that's what  you expect. I jettisoned everything and jumped in with LC - I
checked out and paid for B4A/IJ Xojo and a few others but I have to say LC
beats them all hands down but i keep them in reserve.

Ive been using 6.7.11 for my applications until last week when the
manufacturer of my equipment changed something in the firmware and the
com/serial ports wouldn't working. I compiled it with LC9 and all works now
- except it's 17MB file size instead of 7MB.

Yes the IDE is slower, yes certain things don't work - but show me a
language or program that doesn't have any bugs - here's one in basic - and
I'm not sure if it is bug free.

10 END

=

To speak directly to LC


I agree totally with Sean and Richmond and everybody else  STOP ADDING
NEW FEATURES GET THE STUFF FINISHED THAT YOU PROMISED AND FIX THE IDE.

sqlite library
the stuff Andre goes on about - tying in the javascript ecosystem so we can
use LC with all those "free libraries"
the IDE lagging
So

Re: Is anyone using tsNet external with LCserver?

[panagiotis merakos via use-livecode]

Starting from 8.1.9 IIRC, there are two editions of LC commercial server:
Indy and Business.

You have to login into your account in livecode.com and then you can
download the edition that matches your license.

For example if you are Business on Mac and want to download LC Server 9,
the .zip file you can download is named
"LiveCodeBusinessServer-9.0.0-Mac.zip"

Cheers,
Panos

Morning, Sean.

There is another way of looking at this.  Many folks don’t know you well, but 
felt a connection.  We don’t need to know all the facts and details.  We 
recognised a fellow coder in distress.  We could imagine how we might feel in 
your situation, because it's a precipice we have all seen at close quarters, 
and at least imagined falling in. 

There was no greater knowledge, connection or judgement required to reach out.  
As far as I am concerned, if it makes you feel better to give the money to a 
deserving cause, that’s fine.  If you use it to help you get back on your feet, 
that’s fine too.  It would be great to see you popping up on this list in 
future, but if not, well, good luck on whatever path you take.  When you find 
yourself in the fortunate position to help out someone else struggling in the 
future (and you will), just 'pay it forward’.

Best wishes,

David Glasgow

Actually the editionType reports "community".

Interestingly, only the Community edition can be downloaded from the 
downloads page. The other versions all throw 404s.

Hi Matthias,

Up until 8.1.10, there was only one version of LC server.  It reports itself to 
the tsNet external as the “Indy” edition.  If you use the business edition of 
tsNet with it, it will fail.

You can use ‘the editionType’ to determine if LC server is Indy (commercial) or 
Business (professional).

Charles

 Hi Matthias,
 
 You should just need to copy the relevant tsNet external (for Linux x64 it 
 is tsNet-x64.so) into the external directory from your normal commercial 
 desktop installation.
 
 After that, just make sure you call tsNetInit before making any other 
 tsNet calls.

Re: Is anyone using tsNet external with LCserver?

[Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode]

I am not sure. But would that make a difference? There is only one type of 
Livecode Server commercial. And according to Panos´ post to this thread the 
tsNet Business external should work since release 8.1.10.

I´ve tried myself and made a custom installation on my web server. I installed 
LC Server 8.1.10 commercial to the cgi-bin and copied the tsNet-x64.so (from 
the Livecode Business installation on my Mac) to the externals folder on the 
web server..
It´s the same. Should i try Indy instead?

Btw. Is there a LC command/function which returns what type of Livecode server 
(community or commercial) is running?

Regards,

Matthias

Hi Matthias,

Just to check - did they install the Indy version of the tsNet external?
