Thanks Ali and Panos. I missed the blurb, even though I do read release 
notes. I'm glad you're ahead of me on this and I'll look forward to the 
next release. It's very exciting stuff and I'm happy to see Android 
getting attention.

There was some blurb about this in the release email. If you are keen to
give it a try, these issues are fixed in the develop branch, so you could
download the source here:
https://github.com/livecode/livecode/tree/develop/extensions/widgets/androidfield
 ,
give it a different identifier and install it via the extension builder.

Hi Jacque,

Unfortunately we tried to get the android native field widget into DP 8 at
the very last minute, but discovered that it crashes when it becomes
focused. We will of course try to fix this issue as soon as possible.

So I would suggest you wait until 9.0 DP-9 before you use the android
native field widget.

Best,
Panos

Android field widget

2017-07-26 Thread J. Landman Gay via use-livecode
I'm very interested in the Android field widget but my initial attempt 
isn't working very well. Is there anything special I need to do? What I 
am seeing is:


Text content saved in the widget with the stack doesn't display on a 
mobile device; is this not a persistent property? Do we need to script 
all the properties dynamically?


Tapping the field to enter text crashes the app.

I'm opening the test stack via a generic launcher apk I use for testing, 
is that the problem? The generic launcher has the widget included. 
Except for the text, the field widget is using its default properties 
and is editable.
