Map Widget with Custom Marker
Hi All: Wondering if it's possible to use a custom marker with the map widget. I want to continuously track and show the user's location with a custom icon, but can't find any way to overlay an image on the widget, as it seems to be the equivalent of a web view. Thanks for any suggestions. ___ 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: Points of Graphic Oval
You can use the effectivePoints to get the points of any graphic shape, but depending on the size, your oval may produce too many points. In any event, your source oval doesn't need to be perfect. If you reference a "decent" number of points along the shape of the oval, your image will have the appearance of moving along an elliptical path.

Re: "Silly" fun for the weekend
Mark, Monument Valley isn’t Apple, it's Ustwo Games. Blame them :-) If MV2 isn’t in the Play Store yet, have you gotten ahold of the add-ons for MV1? Forgotten Shores and Ida’s (RED) Dream? Definitely worth purchasing, IMO. Generally, people seem to be complaining that the challenge in the new version is lower than v1. But there are some new mechanics to be played, there are some touching moments between the new characters, and the splitting of story between the characters is quite creative. The best description I ever read of the game: “Monument Valley isn't a game, it’s an experience.” It won an Apple Design Award for good reason.

Re: Biased testing and micro-coaching
You don’t have to keep your mouth shut. In fact, you should be vocal, but you want your tester to be more vocal. Generalized suggestions from past experience… - First, explain to the tester in general terms what your app does. Avoid getting into operating specifics. - Tell the tester you want them to verbalize as much as possible their thought process when encountering each screen/interaction process. You goal is to get a sense of what the tester is thinking and why, not just whether or not they exhibit expected behavior (you will have to prompt the tester repeatedly to explain their thinking without scolding or leading). - Explain to your tester there are no right or wrong actions/answers while using your app — you are trying to observe real world behavior and initial responses to what they see/experience, and their interaction (or lack of it) in no way reflects on their “intelligence”. - Give the tester one or more planned tasks to complete. Remind them to describe their thinking as they attempt to complete each task. - Each time the tester is shown a new screen/process, ask them what they think they need to do at that point. Ask why. Keep all requests/comments neutral, never correct the tester. If their response doesn’t fit with your intended behavior, ask the tester what they would suggest to improve interaction/outcome, or make the process more intelligible. Avoid allowing the tester complete too many tasks in a row without describing their thought process. - If the tester can’t figure out how to proceed to a next step, give them a hint (if possible) and determine if they are able to understand the interaction. Again, ask for suggestions on what could be improved. Ask why. - Rinse and repeat. - Ask the tester at the end of the test what they felt was the biggest issue with the app. Ask the tester to reiterate how they would correct the problem. Review your list of problems encountered by the tester to confirm your understanding of the issues. - Record/note all responses. Keep written notes at a minimum, use audio and/or video recording to collect more detailed/nuanced responses. In an ideal world, you would record the tester and the screen they interact with concurrently. Hope this helps.

Re: Momentum Scrolling Script
Hi Jonathan: Just doing some simple tests, your script is great. Thanks for sharing it on the list. Two minor improvements I would suggest: 1) After the mouseUp handler, add a mouseRelease handler to trigger deceleration/stop when the mouse is released outside of the target control. on mouseRelease mouseUp end mouseRelease 2) In the mouseMove handler, use the built-in parameters provided by the handler instead of reading the mouseV. Probably not a huge deal in the scheme of things, but might add a tiny bit more efficiency to the script. on mouseMove X,Y if allowDrag <> empty then set the vScroll of me to (allowDrag-Y) end if end mouseMove Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design > On Jun 28, 2017, at 9:05 AM, Jonathan Lynch via use-livecode > wrote: > > I just created and tested a momentum scrolling script on my iPhone, and it > appears to work quite well, so I thought I would share it here. ___ 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: clipsToRect property (was Re: Instantiaing Grouped Controls - Templates - Responsive)
Keep in mind, there’s also the lockUpdates property of groups, which while differing mechanically “under the hood”, essentially causes the same perceived result — while enabled, a group’s rect is not changed when its child objects are resized/repositioned.

Re: Instantiaing Grouped Controls - Templates - Responsive
The most important rule to follow when establishing any new property should be: Don't use "dont". The application of a "negative property" should never have been established (dontWrap, I'm talking to you). Properties should always be non-negative and simply enabled or disabled depending on the default behavior. In this case, I get that you're referring to readable label, so there's more flexibility here of course, I just needed to vent :-) The above said, you're right, this is a tricky case. IMO the real differentiation here is that the rect of the *unlocked* group remains unaffected by the locations of its child objects. Since you know the control is a group, maybe the verbose label is something like "persistent rect" since the rect will, for the most part, remain constant. Maybe I'm forgetting something...

Re: Gradients with transparency?
The thing about using a graphic gradient (as opposed to an image) is the graphic is infinitely more flexible: - variable size (no loss of quality when resizing) - variable colors - variable transparency As far as exporting goes, last I checked, I don’t think ink effects export intact, even when using “with effects” in the snapshot syntax, so if you can’t get the visual result you want with the default ink, you may need to export a snapshot of the region of the card you need. Maybe support for exporting inks has improved recently (though in my quick dp4 test, exporting to the desktop crashes).

Re: Cheesed off by 32xxx
Without knowing exactly what you're trying to accomplish, one way is to display only a few rows of buttons beyond what will fit comfortably on a screen, and when scrolling takes place, "recycle" the rows around to the end (or beginning) with new glyphs applied. Assuming all the characters are from a single font and you're trying to display glyphs in an organized fashion, a better way might be to display all the glyphs in a field with extra column and row spacing to essentially form a grid. This is how I display glyphs from icon fonts, which is more efficient than using thousands of controls on a card.

Re: Size of Image in RAM

Re: Size of Image in RAM
You say the mode is 8 bit. I might be wrong, but I don’t believe JPEG supports 8 bit (256 color) images. Even if it does technically, the format is not really intended for 8 bit images, but rather 16 bit or higher. When I generate an 8 bit indexed color image in Photoshop and look at the Save As menu, JPEG is not an option. If I instead choose Save for Web which allows saving as JPEG, the resulting image re-opens in Photoshop in RGB (24 bit color) mode.

Re: hide with visual effect
I believe you already found your answer/s, but in addition to other suggestions posted, keep in mind the effectRate property, which allows much finer timing control (as opposed to slow, fast, very fast, etc). I find that the default rate of 2000 is a bit slow by today’s standards, so cutting that down to 1000 or or sometimes 750, depending on the effect, can result in a much snappier feeling and responsive app. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design > On Oct 11, 2016, at 11:19 AM, Devin Asay wrote: > > >> On Oct 11, 2016, at 8:46 AM, Mike Kerner wrote: >> >> I am trying to give the user the illusion that a dialog is sliding into >> view and out of view.

Re: How to make my app keep running in the bg
AFAIK, you can't do this on iOS for just a timer. I was told from someone high up in Apple that the phone will automatically end or reset a backgrounded app after roughly 10 minutes or so (at most). Audio is a different story, because Apple allows music-playing apps to run when backgrounded, but I imagine you'd need to make use of Apple's native music player for this to work. I'm not sure if the native LC player qualifies -- have you already tried backgrounding an LC app with the native player running? Don't expect to fool Apple by enabling a non-music-playing app to keep itself active by playing sound. I was told this story: Apparently several versions back, Facebook came out with a version of their mobile app which included a player that played silence when backgrounded, as a means to keep itself active. Apple discovered the behavior and slapped Facebook on the wrist, after which Facebook claimed it was a bug that was introduced by mistake. It's possible the Apple has changed it policy on this over the last year or so, but I doubt it. Google may be more forgiving with Android.

Re: IPv6 & Apple
Hi Charles:
The app makes database calls using the following structure.
put "198.01.234.56:1234" into tDatabaseAddress
put "dbname_" into tDatabaseName
put "dbuser" into tDatabaseUser
put "dbpassword" into tDatabasePassword
put revOpenDatabase("MySQL", tDatabaseAddress, tDatabaseName,
tDatabaseUser, tDatabasePassword) into tResult
I have ATS disabled in the standalone because we don't currently have an
HTTPS server. The error displayed in Apple's screenshot was my simple
error message stating it was unable to connect to the database. I need to
go back now and figure out if there's some missed issue with the code.
But it concerns me if Apple is testing the app in some way that I don't
have a means to reproduce. I'm not very knowledgable in server matters so
any advice is appreciated.

Scott Rossi

There's another factor to your advantage here, if the majority of your content is voice. Voice is WAY more forgiving of high compression than music, so I would say you're good choosing a different format rather than jumping through hoops trying to accommodate m4a.

Re: Play m4a files on Windows 7
Which codec pack did you try? I was just looking at K-Lite: https://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm And how many audio files are you talking about? What type of content? I have to believe conversion to another format is possible. Get a batch convertor and process in bulk. I spoke to my brother who has been an audio engineer for 2 decades and he says as long as you guys keep the sampling rates/bit depths same, you'll only be changing format, and there shouldn't be any loss in quality. IMHO, even if you went to 192kps MP3, that's a pretty high bit rate, and most "normal" people (non audio engineers) aren't going to notice any difference in quality.

Re: Refer to new group?
I thought I had read that the LC guys had fixed "it" to reliably refer the
newly created group. If this still doesn't work, another workaround is to set
the name of the templateGroup before creating any group, so you have a
guaranteed reference when the group is created. I've used this option for
years without issue.

Re: "after after" for behaviors?
It's hard to tell from your description how you want the final script to be triggered. It sounds like there are multiple handlers that can initiate the final script, and because of that I imagine you DO need to add a trigger command to each handler. I was going mention the possibility chained behaviors in that you can have a sort of parent behavior that is chained to multiple child behaviors, but this still operates the same as the standard message path: anything not handled in the child behavior is passed along to the parent. So to initiate some action that that is supposed occur at the end of handler, you need to trigger it at that point, either using a command or "pass".

Re: UN-FullScreen a Stack?
I eventually figured out the stack's decorations were hidden behind the LiveCode toolbar (and the green button was changed to grey an OS version or two back). But I'm still wondering if there's a command to exit the OS's fullscreen mode without making the menubar visible, like how most apps employ the escape key.

Re: UN-FullScreen a Stack?
When the stack is maximized using the window decorations, setting the fullscreen to false doesn't revert the stack back to its original dimensions unless the fullScreen was enabled to begin with. But manually setting the stack's dimensions can resize/reposition it.

OK, on OS X 10.11 I decided to see what happens when maximizing a stack. The window went fullscreen and my script for repositioning controls works great, but now the display is stuck in fullscreen mode. How do I get the view back to multi-window view?

Well, native fields have been finicky for me on Android (and still are). Apparently unless native fields exceed a certain height dimension, they briefly show scrollbars when focused, even single line fields. Focus (perhaps only in my case) has been unreliable, and with the reg code I need to manage, the inability to auto-jump between fields is more likely to confuse users than the lack of cut and paste, so I'm not really concerned there. > >I've had pretty good luck with focus in my Android builds, across a >fairly wide range of devices (it's become a running gag in my house >every time I come home with another cheap tablet to test on). > >What issues were you having with that? The issues are what I described above. I may have gone about it ineffectively but I need to manage the entry of a reg code across 4 fields, such that: - After 4 characters are entered one a field, focus automatically jumps to the next field without the user having to do anything, and without the keyboard auto-removing itself - Text characters are automatically converted to caps - Pressing return triggers submission As I mentioned, all is working fine on iOS, so I'd like to think it's possible either with standard or native fields.

Re: Detect Return From Mobile Keyboard Without Native Field?
Thanks for checking Richard. How did you do your test? Using a Nexus 5X here, so recent hardware. I place a standard LiveCode field a card (nothing native), and in the card script: on returnInField answer millisecs() end returnInField When I press characters on the mobile keyboard, they appear in the field, but when I press return, the cursor moves in the field but nothing else happens. The result is the same in both LC 7.1.4 and 8.0.1. I must be missing something? To answer your question, focus has always been an issue for me on Android. I need to track characters and jump between multiple fields of a long registration key, which works as expected on iOS but unfortunately not on Android. The use of standard LC fields is a workaround.

Re: quirk in group resize behavior
ControlGravity was the first property name that came into my mind, but it's not really accurate. In my view, this implies that controls physically move to the designated edge of the group (as an icon does in a button with iconGravity -- why this property wasn't named iconAlignment is beyond me). Terms that are similar to "anchor", "referencePoint" or "origin" would seem to make more sense.

Card SnapShot from Negative Rect?
Anyone know how to snapshot a rect location of a card that includes negative values? In LC 7.1.3, I have an object in a group that's scrolled out of view, resulting in the object's rect having negative values. I want to snapshot the object, but I'm unable to snapshot any part of the card outside the card's rect (where the rect contains values less than zero). I know it's possible to snapshot an offscreen stack, but can't seem to do this with an offscreen object on a card. Any option for this besides locking the screen and moving the object to a visible location?

Re: 8.0--huh???
In v8, the default background of new stacks appears to be light grey. So you can either set the backColor of your stack to (am guessing) white, or you can try setting the theme of your stack to "legacy", which has the added benefit displaying text with the same sizing/spacing as v7, if you need that.

Re: Adding existing object to group?
Have you already tried cutting and pasting your objects? If not... Copy the object you want to be in the group. Select the group, click the Edit Group button on the toolbar to start editing the group, and paste the object. It will now be part of your group. While editing any group, you can select nested groups to edit those as well. Or, using the message box... If you want to create a new object in an existing group: create in group "xyz" If you want to copy an already existing object to a group: copy to group "xyz" Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design On 5/2/16, 3:21 PM, "use-livecode on behalf of William Prothero" wrote: >Ali: >Work has stopped.

Re: Common Background Group Across Multiple Stacks
If you don't mind nesting your navbar within a separate group, another option is to have an empty group already assigned to all your cards -- when the navbar group is copied over to your stack, it will automatically be available on all appropriate cards.

I'd vote bug. The name of the property (and its history) implies an object that can be selected and unselected.

Re: Choose Browse Tool with click
I realize I should have included the object selection in the mouseDoubleDown handler: on mouseDoubleDown choose pointer tool select the mouseControl end mouseDoubleDown Also, if controls will have code that can be activated, you may want to use the these handlers in a front script to preempt the controls' code from firing.

Re: Choose Browse Tool with click
If I understand what you're attempting, the following should get you going, as long as you select an object immediately upon mouseDoubleDown. Create a backScript with the following script: on mouseDoubleDown choose pointer tool end mouseDoubleDown on selectedObjectChanged if the mouseControl is empty then choose browse tool end selectedObjectChanged When the pointer tool is enabled and you click between objects, you should continue to select whatever is clicked, until clicking on the card, which should then switch to the browse tool. Note that the mouseDoubleDown trigger won't work with an unlocked field.

Remove Android Scroll Indicators?
On Android, scroll indicators show up on native single line input fields. Is there any way to disable this? I've tried setting the Vindicator to false even though that property isn't listed for single line input fields. Creating a simple form becomes a chore unless the input fields are somewhat oversize (not always an option), and making the same control work cross-platform (iOS) requires completely different settings.

"With effects" refers to graphic effects, not inks.

Re: Set Text to the Vertical Center of the field
Bernd N and I have been through this -- there's no reliable way to this, unless you have a known number of lines, and a fixed point size, line height, etc. Bernd wrote a method that uses the pixel rect of the text via snapshot that can work. My solution is to use buttons since those can display centered text, but that may not be an option for some implementations.

Re: Multiple Versions of LC on Mac
You can run multiple versions simultaneously -- I often run multiple versions side by side, and copy scripts/objects between versions. Settings can be an issue if you're going to have different locations for extensions, etc -- not sure if the LiveCode people made accommodations for that. But an efficient way to work that has suggested on the mail list many times is, if you use Dropbox or some other cloud sharing service, to place your LC Extensions folder there. Set all versions of LC on the machine to reference that folder, but also set up LC on other systems to reference that same folder. You will then have your plugins and utility stacks available consistently across all systems.

Re: Design Challenge -- Round Corner mask on images
Oh, I understand -- I'm just saying a graphic + backPattern may be a good option because you have control over the shape (the roundRadius of the corners be changed), the radius will auto-scale across different screen sizes, and you don't have to pre-process all the images with rounded corners.

The image and graphic need to be the same height, and you need to have "extra" image on the left side so you can crop off the rounded corners on the left. The advantage of that option is you probably won't get any rendering artifacts with acceleratedRendering enabled (no ink effects needed). The disadvantage is the image needs to be fit precisely to the masking graphic, while in a group with ink effects, you have more flexibility in placing/sizing the image.

Re: IMG resize advice wanted
Can you use referenced images and lock their widths to the width of your field/s? I believe others on the list have mentioned system-level tools that can be used for image processing, but if you want to resize within LC, the "traditional" method is to scale the image and set the imageData of the resized image to itself. Alternatively, you might be able to scale the image and export a snapshot of the image to itself. (And while we're at it, someone should really add the word "heidth" to the English language because "height" doesn't really go with "width".)

Re: Design Challenge -- Round Corner mask on images
If you have acceleratedRendering enabled, try disabling it. Regarding your second screenshot, you're likely getting that result because you repositioned the graphic within the group. LC8 might be more sensitive to acceleratedRendering than previous versions, but enabling the property in general sometimes causes idiosyncrasies that need to be worked around. It's possible ink effects won't work for your situation, so you may need to resort to other methods.

Re: Design Challenge -- Round Corner mask on images
An oval is the same as a roundRect, just with larger radii. The technique doesn't "fail" as shown in the demo stack, so yes, you may indeed be missing something.

Re: Design Challenge -- Round Corner mask on images
One way is using ink effects. In a group with the roundRect graphic layered above the image: blendSrcOver applied to the group blendDstIn applied to the graphic You might want to take a look at the stack provided in this article for ideas: http://tactilemedia.com/blog/2015/11/04/livecode-basics-masking-objects/ Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design On 3/27/16, 3:26 PM, "use-livecode on behalf of Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami" wrote: >Our design team finished a design for a mobile app. The used rounded >corners everywhere. > >see > >http://wiki.hindu.org/screenshots/radius-all-corners.jpg > >Something I wished we had in LC for all controls (groups included) is >corner radius, but is is only available for graphics objects. > > >set the roundRadius of grc "roundRectAngleButton" to pValue > >I'm digging in the forums for info an masks etc... but I'm out of my >depth here. > >I'm thinking this is probably (I hope) not that hard to implement. > >it's obviously easy enough to create a background graphic with round >corners, add a small field on the left site that is transparent, lock >that, put an image on the right side, make this a small group and give >the name of a target and we have a nice cool "button" but how do I get >the image in the right half of the group to take the rounded corners of >the background graphic? > >BR >___ >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

Shorter Vibration?
I don't suppose it's possible to change the duration of mobileVibrate? When using this command (on my Android phone) the interval seems to be somewhere between 3/4 and a full second which is way too long for UI feedback. I'd like to trigger an extremely short vibration as feedback when a button is pressed, similar to how many onscreen keyboards operate. Any way to accomplish this?
