I am following the Slideshow Tutorial to create a slideshow on ios and android:
https://files.rarewire.com/wordpress/2012/07/slide...
The ios slideshow works perfectly. However, the android slideshow only displays the image that is opened and the image doesn't go on to the next image or back to the previous one (I have it set up so that the slideshow starts with the image that is clicked). The slide does change logically as I am using alerts to make sure the logic works, but again, the image doesn't change. I believe it might be the <replace> tag that doesn't work on android? How can I implement the "next-slide" and "prev-slide" actions correctly on android?

I was wondering if it is possible to be able to import a JSON file (local or remote) and have it populate a local SQLite database within the app?

I ask because I would like to be able to take a CSV, convert it to JSON (which I found some Javascript that can do this) and the populate the database with this new data.

Every time I've tried having an if statement within a loop Fusebox crashes on my iphone 3Gs.  I tried putting the if statement in another action and then calling it within the loop but that didn't work either.

I cannot get my one of my android launch images to load. I have verified the right size, tried dragging and dropping the image and selecting the image from finder... but it just won't stick. Everything else loaded fine. Are there any other things I need to check?

I have an app (#2284 - Creelio) that has been published to the iTunes app store using the Rarewire subscription model. I have also created a release build update for this app. When I install the app from the app store and launch it I get the message telling me I have an update via Rarewire; As I would expect.

The problem is occurring when I do another release build for the app with the goal of having the Rarewire subscription auto-update when I launch the app that I originally downloaded from the app store. This 2nd update via the rarewire subscription does not update to the app installed on my iPhone. Even if I delete the app; reinstall it from the app store; I do not get the most current (2nd) update. It only gives me the 1st update I created after putting the app on the app store.

Hopefully this makes sense :) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to get a 2nd, live subscription update to install so that I don't have to wait on the app stores approval process.

If I'm trying to create a preference named "mark" like this:

<action name="setMark">
<assign property="preference:mark" value="_next">
</action>

If I have a variable named _mark, is there a way for me to designate the name of the preference with the variable like this?

<action name="setMark">
<assign property="preference:[var:mark]" value="_next">
</action>

I'm thinking about adding about 200 spots in my app where a user can set a preference by marking a piece of content by its color.  When a user goes to mark a preference the action would run through 200 if statements, and there would be 200 preference calls in the action set to oninit="yes".  And there would be five colors for each preference to be set to, which would mean the addition of about 1,000 lines of code.  Would this slow the app's start up and run speed noticeably?

Is it possible to determine an image's current source and assign this string to a variable?  Or is the image source property write only?

This issue seems a little strange, but I will share it all the same.

The following code snippets are from my app. I have a datepicker that is setup to only show the time. When I get the info from the datepicker all works well UNLESS it is between 12am and 1am. Instead of returning 00 for the hour it returns 24. This is an invalid time.

Not sure that I could make this happen with my code, but I am open to any ideas.

<datepicker name="selectdate" alias="ADDTIMESLOTCONTROL" width="100%" height="100%" time="only" borderwidth="1" bordercolor="777777" cornerradius="5"></datepicker>

<assign property="var:tempDateTime" value="[object:ADDTIMESLOTCONTROL.date]" />

I have a screen that has a password field (textfield tag with password="yes"). When I fill the password field with the password from a datasource, it shows it as text, not the password circles for each letter. If I clear the field after it was filled from the datasource and retype some letters, the letters stay visible.

If I don't prefill the password field from the datasource and just type in it, it works just fine.

Thoughts?

I'm trying to build an app that allows users to select from a menu of large images for them to view and zoom.  So far I've been able to create this functionality for the android version by having menu clicks swap in new sources for the main image.  It works as long as the images are taller than they are wide.

For the iOS version though I've been having much more difficulty.  With the image source swapping method the original image looks fine but every image after that that is swapped in is displayed with distorted dimensions (squished vertically), including the original image its source is swapped back in.

I've tried displaying the large images in a panel and then having menu clicks hide/reveal different panels but nothing I've tried in this area has worked.  If the panel appears lower in the wire its graphic will display and zoom fine, but if it's behind any of the other panels in the wire containing large images then it will show up but it can't be zoomed.  I've tried hiding the offending panels by setting their alphas to zero, I've tried moving the panels far off screen, and I've tried unloading the images and also unloading the containing panels.  No matter what, if a panel A has a panel appearing after it in the wire code then I won't be able to zoom the large image in panel A.

Any ideas?  Either with how to solve the panel over panel zooming issue or with how to solve the image source swapping distorted dimensions issue?

I know how in an action to change a panel's background color.  Can a panel's other attributes be changed in actions as well?  Specifically, if a panel is set to hidden="yes" can this be changed via an action to hidden="no"?

When I try to unlock any of my apps I get this error: "An app title must be provided." and it fails to unlock the app.

This just started happening in the last 30 minutes. I have tried it on a few of my apps and it seems to occur for all of them.

Any thoughts?

I have a app built (simplest of the simple). When I am trying to refresh it on my Android, it says "There was an error with your request. Please try again."

What could be the reason?

I'm creating an app that displays large photos and I'd like users to be able to pinch zoom in, move the photo around, and pinch zoom out. So far I have this by setting the panel to zoomable="yes", but I'd love to have more control. I'd love for it to take less pinches to zoom in and out, and less swipes when zoomed in to move from one side of the photo to the other.

I suspect zoomscale, zoommin, and zoommax might help but I haven't been able to figure out how to use them. I've set them to floats like .25, .556, and 3.75 without seeing an effect. Anyone have tips for how I can gain more control over my users' zooming experience?

Also, right now if I want to display an 800 x 1500 pixel image it shrinks down so all the image is visible and looks like a thumbnail. I'd love to be able to display the image so it is aligned to the left, its height takes up the entire height of the screen, and the rest of the image to the right is off screen and the user has to scroll the image left to see it. Is there a way to do this?
