The latest release has added "the effective working screenrect" which

Oops. The fourth item. Sorry.

Returning to the app from another app

How does one get the app to be suspended and then resumed? Everytime
I return to the app its seems to have quit and it restarts. In the
liveCode dictionary, suspend and resume don't apply to mobile
systems. How is this done?


Apps will always quit, the engine doesn't yet support suspend. To return 
to where the user left off, trap the shutdown message and save the 
current state of the app to a file on disk. On preOpenStack, restore it.




MobGui

I couldn't make a native scroller myself, so I tried mobGui. Is it
not possible to try before you buy? Because I followed the simple
instructions for a native scrolling text field, but on the iPad it
made no difference whatsoever. Can't one try mobGui on a device
begore you buy it? I plan to buy it, but I'd like to at least see if
these things work before I do.


The last time I checked, MobGUI was fully functional even if 
unregistered, but on a device or in a simulator it showed a dialog when 
the app launched that said it was an unlicensed version. If you aren't 
seeing anything at all, there might be a problem with the stack or the 
scripts.

It isn't automatic, the whole thing needs to be scripted. I checked for

There have been some example scripts posted here and to the forums, a

Hi Lars,
happy that you found iphoneUseDeviceResolution :-)

So,
about iOS scrolling, see this discussion on the forum : 
http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=13141 ...


about the keyboard ... nothing in iOS is automatic... you have to do 
manually, eg. grouping the controls and moving up/down the group 
following the keyboard status ...

Re: iOS questions

2012-10-17 Thread Monte Goulding

Hi Mark

Yes the calling control can be a stack. Anything that you can refer to as 'me' 
in your code. Wherever you handle startup/shutdown etc you can handle 
UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification for your whole app. Most likely in 
the mainstack script but could be in a library script or backscript.

Cheers

Monte

Re: iOS questions

2012-10-17 Thread Mark Smith

Hi Monte, just so I am sure I understand


/command mergNotify pNotification

This command registers for a notification to be sent to the calling control
(me) whenever it occurs. The same notification may be registered by multiple
controls in your app. If a single control registers for the same
notification multiple times it will receive it multiple times./

Does that mean the calling control could be a stack? And if your stack is
made up of multiple stacks do you have to set notifications for each stack
in order to be able to respond to UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification?

Or can you set it once for the whole application?

Thanks

At the top of the icons section is a checkbox marked Prerendered Icon. Checking 
that will make it use your non-shine version.

Got that working, very cool! Do you know if there is an option to remove the
"shine" (settings, newsstand, contacts, calendar, game centre for example
don't have shine, messages, youtube, iTunes, appstore do have shine). For my
icon image, it would be best without.

Thanks

Hmm... I'm not positive that's the best plan as you will probably find your 
stack is closed when the user awakens their phone. I would suggest something 
like this:

on closeStack
  encryptItAll
end encryptItAll

on UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification
  encryptItAll
end UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification

on encryptItAll
  -- do your encryption and save
end encryptItAll

If you really want to force quit at sleep then try:

on UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification
  quit
end UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification

Not sure if apple will be happy about that though

Cheers

I'm going to try:


on UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification
   close this stack
end UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification

and see if we can get an orderly shutdown with encryption and all (all the
code to handle it is in the closestack handler) which is also sent when you
press the "home" button. 

Interestingly I just checked the docs on the home button and its not
mentioned except in reference to the screen orientation. But clearly when
you press home it sends a "closestack" message and shuts down the
application. Strange how this would not be documented (unless I missed it)?

2012-10-13 Thread Monte Goulding

I don't think you can trap this event. Also I don't think there's a separate 
notification for this button as opposed to the system just going to sleep. But 
if you just want to know if the device is put to sleep eiher way with your app 
running then that's what mergNotify was invented for. You want 
UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification and 
UIApplicationDidBecomeActiveNotification and these are in the demo.

Cheers

Two, hopefully very simple, questions:

2. is there a tutorial around on how to add an application icon for an iPad
