Apple took it's time (nearly 2 weeks) but it was approved without any 
questions. Hurray for LiveCode!


Available no in the app store. Search "Gurudeva" on your iPhone or 
iPad... in the app store


or use these links:

I noticed things were slow recently. Might have been affected by the

If you're reading magazines it isn't the new app. The one that was just 
released is called "Gurudeva".

@ alejandro:

The app I was talking about is "Gurudeva.app" which is available right 
now only on play.google.com... that's the one that was developed 100% in 
LiveCode


That app you downloaded was Hinduism Today. It was developed under 
contract by Quad Graphic our printer... the actual app developer is Yudu 
in UK.. they use Adobe Air for this app. It ability to take PDF and 
display PDF with high res views as you zoom in is awesome -- and would 
be a huge plus for Livecode if it could also do that -- in fact the 
whole development process with Quad/Yudu was quite "painful" .


Their framework was highly inflexible, any custom changes required 
another big $ amt and they could not even do simple things like change 
the look of a button on the home page. Things we could do in LiveCode in 
30 minutes of fixes or add-enhancement time, they would come back to me 
with either "That's a custom change that you have to pay for" OR  "No we 
can't do that, because the framework is not set up to do that"


Over and over again, my bug reports & change requests to the UI would be 
only 85% implemented and the developer on the other end did something 
really stupid... it became a running joke here that Yudu must have hired 
a 15-year kid to develop the app. I spent more time in communications, 
updating the spec on a google doc and drafting bug reports during the 
alpha process that I would have ever expected...I'm thinking "OK this is 
what you get if you hire out app development... you are *still* 
completely engaged timewiseand you are also paying them to take up 
all your time! ouch"


So when we decided to do an app for this year's celebration of our 
founder's passing... I said "Let me build it in LiveCode. We need to be 
on control of the "front end" dev... and it won't take us any more time 
than if we hire it it out and my prices are really good (zero cost) I  
can find LC Developers who way, way more competent than the people we 
ahve been dealing with."


I think everyone was both delighted and surprised that we actually did 
it so smoothly and well. And Jacque took it the extra mile with 
optimizing my "baby xTalk" way of doing coding and doubling down on the 
Android issues...


I'm in the process of completing the Apple App Store submission 
process... I just have a few more screen shots I did not realize they 
required... then I can submit for review... Thanks the online video of 
how to do this by the LC team, it went better than I thought it would.

Google Play tells me that my device is not

Does it uses special features of more recent
Android versions?

Nothing special, it only requires internet access and Android 3.0 or 
higher. Your device should work, but it doesn't look like the Play Store 
supports it, at least it isn't in the PDF info here:




Are you able to download other apps from the Play Store? I think you 
must have, since you were using the Hinduism Today app, so I'm not sure 
why it won't let you download Gurudeva.


Maybe Swami could put a copy on their server for download, so those 
without Play Store access could get it.

Alejandro:

Did you download the app from the Google Play... you can see it, better 
than screen shots.


How does it work?  Except for one item... design to run without internet 
access.


Quite simple really

gurudeva.livecode (app)

cd 1 - splash screen with rotating gear GIF
cd 2 - "main-card" shows photos... random selection, gets quotes, random 
selection
cd 3-4 - img resources, not shown to user... all icon etc we apply to 
buttons
cd 5 "Reader Card" single text field dynamically loads sets of quotes or 
html files, search results
cd 6 Other options card: a basic navigation screen to the other 
"features" text, read quotes by category.
cd 7 audio card: buttons for 8 audio, a player object, and a "surprise 
Me" button that fetches a random audio from our server.


   /data

  / * a few static html files here: biography.html, 
about-this-app.html, help.html, release-notes.html
  / gurudeva-quotes.txt # 670K file with unicode, one quote per 
line, separated by "pipes" with tabs and assigned categories  in item 3 
of each line ~2570 quotes/lines


 /img

  /gurudeva

   # ~ 270 images (jpg) optimized with imageMagic and mozcjpeg. 
uncropped (most are bigger than screen rect)


  /audio
8 .mp3 files packaged with the app
audio.json  has the metadata for the 8 audio files.

That's it --  very simple.

 Had it not been for all the bugs we uncovered (media display on 
Android mostly) it would have been done even sooner.







Could you post screenshots and explain us how this app works? I am sure that
your experience could be really helpful for many of us, LiveCode developers.
