Re: Android black screen again...

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

I looked up the Samsung Tab A and it says it runs Android 9, upgradable to 
11. There are multiple RAM options. Is this the one you have? 



I'm just guessing, but memory may be too low to allow the browser widget 
to work, since it does work after a reboot and the problem only happens 
occasionally. But Android 5 is almost 10 years old and I'd be surprised if 
that is what your tablet is running. Have you checked for an update? You 
have much more control of memory usage with a newer OS.


In any case, you can keep memory usage lower if you delete or disable all 
apps and processes you don't need. You can do that in Settings/Apps. 
Samsung installs a lot of bloatware and if you don't use those things, turn 
them off or remove them. You can't always uninstall these but you can 
disable some of them. Also uninstall any extra apps you don't use. I have a 
newer Samsung tablet and I disabled or deleted almost half the software it 
shipped with. Many of these run in the background and use memory. Launcher 
widgets also run constantly so remove the ones you don't need from your 
launch screens.

Hi friends,

This has happened again about four or five times since
I reported it here.

This never happens at home, only when I am at a band
rehearsal, but never at a gig (fingers crossed).

Restarting the dveice definitively cures this, thank you Panos,
but sometimes, especially at a gig, I do not have the time to
do so. :-/

So any further hints highly appreciated!

I see you are sorting the keys of the array. I’ll give your method a try.

Thanks Alex, not sure how I missed that. I was only testing for a specific use 
case and only tried numeric descending.

Re: xavvi - temper your expectations

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

I thought Xavvi will make use of AI, but the use is not mandatory. So even 
without AI, XAVVI would be an online development tool which can deploy web apps 
and which also could import and export Livecode stacks.

Re: xavvi - temper your expectations

[Alex Tweedly via use-livecode]

I have high expectations of xavvi - mostly because I want the cloud IDE, 
cloud db, new widgets, ...


Oh - and I might just play with the AI, but I have no short-term 
expectations for that part of it.

Absolutely I have needed that quite often now. I tend to use sequences 
(numbered arrays) often - maybe too often.


Up until now I've just done the sorting in the "traditional" way (i.e. 
using multiple "sort" commands), like



   put seqAsLines(sQ2) into tKeys
   sort lines of tKeys numeric by sQ2[each]["anumber"]
   sort lines of tKeys by sQ2[each]["thecategory"]
   rebuildSeq sQ2, tKeys
(the functions seqAsLines and rebuildSeq are included in the code 
snippet below).


But I really like your idea of having a handler that can be given 
multiple sort keys, and just does it all, so I took a detailed look.


First - a couple of little bugs for you.


Keep in mind that there is no error checking so I have no idea what would 
happen if you provided a sort key that didn’t exist in the array.

on sortNumberedArray @pArrayDataA, pSortKeys
  switch
 case tKeyWord is among the items of "asc,ascending,desc,descending"
put tKeyWord into tSortKeysA [i] ["sortorder"]
break
 case tKeyWord is "International,Numeric,datetime,text,binary"

'is' should be 'is among the items of'

put tKeyWord into tSortKeysA [i] ["sorttype"]
break
 default
put word 1 to x of tSortIndex into tSortKeysA [i] ["sortvalue"]
  end switch
   end repeat
end repeat



Secondly, not sure if it's a bug or simply a limitation - the code fails 
if one of the array keys to use for sorting is one of 
"asc,desc,numeric,...".



And - overall, an alternate suggestion. I think your way is a bot complex.
Combining my "traditional" way as above, and your example, I came up 
with a  simpler way to do the same thing:



on simpleSortNumberedArray @pArrayDataA, pSortKeys
   local tKeys, tSeq, tOneSortKey, tSortCommand
   put seqAsLines(pArrayDataA) into tKeys
   repeat with I = the number of items in pSortKeys down to 1
  put item I of pSortKeys into tOneSortKey
  put "sort lines of tKeys" && word 2 to -1 of tOneSortKey && \
    "by pArrayData[each][" && word 1 of tOneSortKey && "]" 
into tSortCommand

  do tSortCommand
   end repeat
   rebuildSeq pArrayDataA, tKeys
end simpleSortNumberedArray

function seqAsLines pSeq
   local tRes
   repeat with i = 1 to the number of elements in pSeq
  put i & CR after tRes
   end repeat
   return tRes
end seqAsLines

command rebuildSeq @pSeq, pList
   local tResQ, tCount
   repeat for each line L in pList
  add 1 to tCount
  put pSeq[L] into tResQ[tCount]
   end repeat
   put tResQ into pSeq
end rebuildSeq
This is simpler and, I think, easier to understand. And it's certainly 
much faster: takes 89 msec for my test case rather than 3416 msecs.


Alex.
