Maps
You can display maps in a browser window in LiveCode. If you want to do this in a desktop environment, use the revBrowser external. If you want to use a mobile environment, use the mobileControlCreate command. You can build your URL by script and load that in a browser, e.g. to show Amsterdam in the top half of a card on a mobile device, use this syntax:
put "Amsterdam" into myCity put "http://maps.google.nl/maps?q=" & myCity into myUrl mobileControlCreate "browser" put the result into gBrowserID mobileControlSet gBrowserID,"url",myUrl put the rect of this cd into myRect put round(item 4 of myRect / 2) into item 4 of myRect mobileControlSet gBrowserID,"rect",myRect mobileControlSet gBrowserID,"visible","true"
or use this do display a browser in rect 32,32,288,288 on a desktop device:
put "Amsterdam" into myCity put "http://maps.google.nl/maps?q=" & myCity into myUrl put the windowID of this stack into myID put revBrowserOpen(myID,"") into gBrowserID revBrowserSet gBrowserID,"rect","32,32,288,288" revBrowserSet gBrowserID,"url",myUrl revBrowserSet gBrowserID,"visible",true
Note that gBrowserID is a global variable and needs to be declared as such. |
