Meet Dr. Jason Taylor, a psychiatrist whose interest in app development led him to great success using LiveCode to create a groundbreaking mental health application, Historian.

LiveCode 9.0.0 DP-6 has just been released, and is the first developer preview containing the Java Foreign Function Interface (FFI).

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!

We have also made significant progress on the Java foreign function interface (FFI) that sits between the LiveCode Builder world and the Java world. Once the remaining few pull requests are merged, it will possible to interface with loaded Java classes, in particular the Android API – enabling you to instantly add vast swathes of additional functionality to your Android apps.
