Import file on Android

I'm using mobileComposeMail to export a data file from an Android app. In spite of its name, it opens the generic Share panel and lets you choose where to put the file. Now I want to import a file from an external source. Where does specialFolderPath("external documents") point to on Android?

Re: Thinking out loud

Android apps run on Chromebooks and I have several installed, including 3 of my own. There are a few glitches when rotating to tablet mode on Chromebooks that support that feature but in general they work pretty well. For you, that would be the easiest way forward. The main problem is that

Re: Can I still change LC code?

I agree with Craig that you're better off making your own. There is a built-in mechanism for this: the dialogData. It's a generic global property, always available, specifically for moving data between a modal stack and your scripts. You don't need to declare it as a global, it's always there.

Re: Creating a simple menu

You're probably using an option button in that case. LC calls on the OS to draw those, which produces a standard system appearance. You can't change it. On Mac the drop-down is to the side, on Windows it's underneath. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software |

Re: Lost the variables and errors panel in script editor

I think the editor only adjusts its layout with a manual change. Try setting the bottom of the window to something you can grab with the mouse and then dragging a corner a bit to change its size. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software |

Re: Creating a simple menu

The easiest way is to use the Menu Builder in the Tools menu. If you want to do it manually, the pulldown button in the tools palette is type "menu". But the builder is faster and easier. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com
