We found a regression in LC 10 that breaks the mobile keyboard from hiding when you click away. We filed a bug report with LC. Until it is fixed, we will switch back to LC 9.6.13 for the Appli Player engines for mobile devices. I am sorry we missed that in our testing. Next week's iOS and Android builds will resolve the issue.

just wanted to flag that new layouts come with very high row heights (200 - 500 px) which means that if selecting 'highlight alternate rows' you won't see any rows until the row height is made reasonable!

I have been occasionally checking in on Appli and am considering this now for a new project - this was the reason I coundln't see rows in multi-line layouts Wink

Many thanks

not sure if this expected behaviour or not, but it's not useful...

I am creating a moderate complexity form which has 30+ controls in it (with the help of a tab control). Everything has a label. Everything looked good.

Then I decided to just resize the screen/stack/window: The form unexpectedly resized with it, but but was a bit worse is that the label fields (not the controls themselves) changed their text size. But only to smaller size, so I have a bunch of labels inside groups inside and outside of a tab control inside a a form that I need to resize - and be careful not to resize the window ever again!

Here's what it looks like (the label font size is 6 when it should be 14):

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug/incorrect behaviour?
Many thanks

I wanted to use a switch control to manually set the passwordField property of a field to True|False.

On the face of it this should be simple but does not seem to work. I have to toggle the switch twice to change the property once, with the result that it's not possible to really control this with logic.

This is my code, for a field password with it's passwordField set to true, and switch element called showPassword:

This alternative code has the same issue:

Either I'm doing something wrong (but for the life of me I can't see it) or this is a bug...

This makes using Switch element unusable...
Any suggestions?

I want to iterate the files of a folder.

As I'm new to Appli I'm still finding my feet, so I thought I'd try and just show the "list" in an answer dialog in way of debugging, as I can't see a way to examine this during script execution. But this script fails for reasons I can't really understand:

the error I'm getting is:

error-listfiles.jpg Size: 38.49 KB Downloads: 7

Looking at the documentation for List Files, it seems this only works for folders within the Documents folder (is this true?)
Moving said folder into the documents folder produces the same error...

Extracting the folder name using get item from variable (for the folder that is in /Documents) and using that with list files instead of the path produces the same error...

Grateful for explanation as to why this isn't working (I presume this isn't a bug and I'm "doing it wrong"), and more importantly, how I can iterate files of a folder
Thanks in advance,

Unfortunately, that horizontal scrollbar overlays, and obscures, the last line of the content of the Layout.

Docs say the output is a line-delimited list of recordIDs, but it appears to actually be a list of the field values set by the Keys parameter.

(The apparent action is more general, so I suspect the docs are simply out of date - you get the described functionality by specifying "cdbrecordid" for the keys parameter).]]>

All the time functions (e.g. get_current_time) allow for a predefined list of formats, and those are only hours and minutes - there seems to be no way to get seconds (or millisecs), as you would want for timestamping or other purposes.

But - I used the custom code option to use LC to give me time as HH:MM:SS, and thereby got my first appli app working - a very simple digital clock (only runs for a few seconds :-)
