Re: Cordova online telemetry

I have a similar error trying to create a .apk:

Error failed to fetch platform Android...


The guest machine has not internet. I understand I should install some packages on it?

Re: ReadFile oddities - synchronous, open specific local fil

You mean we cannot access random local files but we can if they are JSON formatted (which does not even have a magic header?). I am stunned, it would make no sense And in fact, I may be wrong, but the manual seems to indicate using a procedure which is part of the Requester library: Filename$ The n...

Re: ReadFile oddities - synchronous, open specific local fil

perhaps your Json-File with LoadJson()? You mean we cannot access random local files but we can if they are JSON formatted (which does not even have a magic header?). I am stunned, it would make no sense btw.: what is a 'blit'? It's when you dump a piece of memory (low level) that you can then load...

Re: ReadFile oddities - synchronous, open specific local fil

At the moment, I thought that the best solution seems to embed a JSON literal with IncludeFile. Am I missing anything? Are there better ideas? I would love to access the blit of an array of structures, but never tried even in PB... I would also like to free the memory of source literal objects - jus...

Re: Microserver embedded?

For mobile app, there is cordova libs to access the file system. For browser app, it needs to connect to a remote server, SB is not designed to run offline (but you can use NodeJS if you absolutely wants to access local data but then why not using PureBasic to create a real app). Fantastic - but ho...

Microserver embedded?

What do you think, Fred? Amongst the solutions to access local data (file, DB), maybe you can serve them on a 127.0.0.1:12345 ! Dubious on desktop, possibly a solution on mobile. I wrote on http://forums.spiderbasic.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1329&p=4609#p4609 EDIT: unless SB packs a minimal, m...

Re: ReadFile oddities - synchronous, open specific local fil

How can one load data into the application? With Php : https://www.spiderbasic.com/documentation/http/httprequest.html Sorry, I don't get it... Do you mean using a network server? It is totally overkill. This approach would restrict SB to client-server applications. To use SB for local application ...

Absolutely, it's ok to have the optimizer working but we need a good solution to force the compilation of a procedure meant to be called with "inline JS".

Re: ReadFile oddities - synchronous, open specific local fil

Not even `IncludeBinary` is there... If the limitation is because of the JS concept of running in a browser from random web pages hence need for security, instead of being code run from a trusted application, well, then JS is not enough. It must be "patched" and augmented with the needed b...

ReadFile oddities - synchronous, open specific local file

I am having problems with ReadFile(): 1) I need it to be synchronous: it opens a file for reading, I process it, and the main process does not continue until the operation is done. Instead, I get to use a callback... 2) the manual says « OpenFileRequester()() needs to be called before to have access...
