Reflecting on 2022, anticipating 2023

by Heather Laine on December 21, 2022 3 comments

The end of 2022 is approaching and we’re all looking forward to some well earned time off and holiday celebrations. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukah or the Winter Solstice it’s a time of year to get together for some quality time with our nearest and dearest.

It’s also a time to reflect, on the achievements of the year, and where they might take us next. We are only part way through our “year of reinvention”: the rebirth of LiveCode as LiveCode 10 announced in spring this year.

WordLib Update Released

by Curry Kenworthy on October 2, 2018 No comments

WordLib imports MS Word and Open Office documents right into your LiveCode fields. This is all done natively without relying on any other software, API, or interface to do the job. Nor is it based on someone else’s code. Not even Microsoft’s. That’s actually a big deal; as a pure LiveCode script solution, independent and original, built from the ground up, WordLib can target MS Word and LiveCode like nobody else. You don’t even need a word processor or DLL installed to use it; that’s the whole point. You just need LiveCode, WordLib, a document, and a field. Any platform. One line of code. You’re done.

LiveCode 9.0 DP 6 – Infinite LiveCode Preview

by Ali Lloyd on March 9, 2017 17 comments
LiveCode 9.0.0 DP-6 has just been released, and is the first developer preview containing the Java Foreign Function Interface (FFI). We’re thrilled to be bringing you this exciting first part of the Infinite LiveCode project. It’s been a longish road to get here and as is typical with such large and complex software projects, there have been a number of frustrating walls to be knocked down en route. I’m proud to say we have overcome these roadblocks, and without further ado, let me get stuck in to telling you how you can use it! Foreign handlers can be written in LiveCode Builder (LCB) which bind to calls on Java classes via the Java Native Interface (JNI). In particular this enables binding to classes in the Android API.

Extending the interactive welcome BMI app with HealthKit

by Monte Goulding on June 2, 2016 2 comments

By now many of you will have completed the new interactive tutorial for LiveCode 8. If you haven’t done that yet, you might like to go and complete it before continuing on here.

By the end of the tutorial you should have an app that looks something like the image below. If you’re like me and get excited by pancake printers it’s probably telling you something different to the image below but let’s not worry about that just now… the point is you should have an app that uses a web service to calculate BMI and charts it.

Today I’m introducing a new external for HealthKit called mergHK. With mergHK you can read and write to the HealthStore and therefore improve the integration of your health app with the array of other apps that users use to manage their health data.
