Re: Android USB port
The LC team takes custom requests, and you wouldn't have to tell them how to link the code into LiveCode. :) Write to supp...@livecode.com and see what they say. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On June 12, 2018 10:19:54 AM Douglas Ruisaard via use-livecode wrote: Thanks for the reply, Jacqueline.

Re: Android USB port
its very rare that something is not possible i hope you find the help you need.. I have yet to use livecode for mobile dev desktop...different story.dunno if u've tried the forumthe (gitter) chatroom may also be good place to ask advanced questions too.

Re: Android USB port
Thanks, Tom ... got a chuckle out of your reply! To be fair, Erik Beugelaar *did* reply back on April 24 (I must have missed it) and suggested looking into Jave FFI (supported by LC v9) for possible methodologies. I have NO CLUE regarding Java... and, cynical as it may be, I don't expect to be able to learn it at my age. I would be quite interested in anyone with that ability and knowledge to assist ... quite negotiable. I'm looking for (ideally) a native LC solution. Given the scope and flexibility of LC, it's hard to imagine that there isn't a way to access the Android USB port. Apple, if it isn't known, requires you to sell your first-born, sign a contract in blood and then embed a "special" hardware chip in your device in order to ALLOW USB connectivity. I'm good with using BlueTooth for iOS... but Android has me stumped unless this community can lend a hand. It'd be right-neighborly of ya to do so! > > I can't help you but i loved your testimonial. > Douglas Ruisaard Trilogy Software (250) 573-3935 ___ 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
