Proportions of text on buttons and some other things

2008-09-27T16:25:57Z

I've been working on an app that so far is very complex and long (and
still counting), and now i have the following:

1. A file weigthing 70kb. When i try to run it it runs fine, but if i
try to compile it i get a error 8 code 516 error. I'm assuming the
limitation is for the file size. If i run pmem i get 1021 used out of
near 5000 when running with main form only (A function constructs
certain form, another that handles it, breaking and calling). So: do i
have a limitation with the no. of functions (and there are A LOT), i'm
running out of memory, or it's the doc size? I'm on a Zire 72.

2. i've implemented a "cursor" for my app, a square that draws around
a button and "moves" using the keys. I now use fontsmoother and have
several fonts compilated, but the cursor keeps fixed. At the sides,
and top&botton of a drawn button, how many pixels there are? I have
guessed (fnt_width*strlen)+fnt_width*2, but it doesn't work with all
the fonts. Since i could fix the size of a textfield regardless of the
heigth/width, and change at will the font without altering the spacing
so much, i can't get the size of the cursor to get rigth, and my app
is far so heavy for fixing it (e.g. at 62*25 pix at certain button,
80*28 bold, and every size different from each other). Any ideas?

3. My app is an organyser (it does laundry, writes poems, haves
karaoke funtions and etc. hahaha) and i want it to set OS alarms, the
ones you can set in the next 24 hours with the clock app, not the
calendar ones. How can i set them? (I used to have those things, i
almost swear this is something in saved preferences, but if anyone
haves all this documentation, along with tasks calendar DB format, and
sys prefs, i guess i'll be thankful if someone can upload the file for
me - only for some days, so i can download it.)

And many thanks in advance!

Write to Contacts DB doesn't sync

2008-09-27T16:19:53Z

Hello,

I wrote a simple Plua2 application that modifies the Contacts/Address
database. The application works great, but when I perform a hot sync
the data is not synchronized to my PC.

I am able to force a sync by changing the PC Hot Sync parameters to
"Handheld Overwrites Desktop", but I would like to update the
Contacts/Address DB to invoke a standard sync.

Can anyone point me on how to do this?

Thanks!

Re: features

2008-09-27T05:19:11Z

Ambrose,

There may be a way to register your Palm Plua application with an outside scheduling app such as "Crony v3.0" (http://www.freewarepalm.com/clock/crony.shtml) to achieve a similar functionality. I am not endorsing Crony, but as you can see on the Freeware Palm page, it has gotten some good reviews from users. If other Plua developers know of better scheduling software, perhaps they can add their opinion to this conversation.

Good luck.

Re: Re: Emulator error.

2008-09-04T08:32:31Z

pluac-2.0i is now available. This version has the fix I made for Pal. If you
already downloaded the test version to use, this is exactly the same. Although
this was in the endian .pdb code, it should have compiled the same, so I'm
not sure exactly what I fixed :) thus I'm keeping the old pluac-2.0 up just in
case. If you have a problem with one, try the other, but 2.0i works fine on my
Tiger G5 and on Pal's Leopard Intel system.

This is a PowerPC binary and is still supported on 10.2.8. Any future feature
releases, however, will be 10.4+ only and (hopefully) Universal.

Excellent. I'll rename it back to plua2c and substitute it into a new release.
That should be ready later today (it will be the same binary so you don't
need to redownload it if you already have this one).

I'm not sure if this is an endian problem from running on Intel, but the
plua2c binary is PPC and should run under Rosetta, so I doubt that's the
issue. Regardless, I made a small running change, which still works locally,
so please tell me if this fixes your problem (PPC binary 10.2+):

http://www.floodgap.com/software/macplua/mtest.zip

This contains 'pluae2c' (notice name change) to distinguish it from the old
one. If this works, I will substitute the binary into a new release and
change the filename back.

At some point I really need to do an Intel version, I just keep getting
sidetracked (I do have a Core 2 Duo mini I bought for this purpose but other
tasks get in the way).

Emulator error.

2008-09-03T14:07:59Z

I wrote a quick app, and compiled it in OSX, and I receive no errors from the compiler.

However, I am getting a weird error from the emulator when I attempt to drag and drop,
which says "Could not install the Palm OS file "PluaApp.prc" because the file is too small to
contain all the information it claims to have."

I then converted the ascii to doc format, loaded, compiled, and ran on real hardware with no
problem.

Ideas?

I suspect it is either a compiler issue or an OSX issue, because before posting this I
attempted to compile this:

-- temp.lua
gui.main()

..and I am getting the same emulator error.

Re: Re: new here, a few questions

Hi,
You don't have to access the"BUILTIN" region of PalmOS to edit files in the RAM. You can open, edit or create all kinds of databases in RAM using io.open functions. Just have a a look in the manual. File manupilation in Plua is more than enough for most of our needs.

No, you cannot start Palm apps within Plua.

In the files section of this yahoo groups there is ample examples and documents to help you.

I believe the NVFS feature was introduced on the Treo 650 and the
Tungsten T5. Both are around 4 years old, so if this already worked,
I think you'd probably know about it my now, even if not from
first-hand experience. But I'll be sure to test it shortly and report
my results.

I'm sorry to hear development has ceased, but happy that someone else
may be picking it up. "Commercial" is better than "dead", but (and
I'm sure this has been discussed to death) "open source" may have a
leg up on "commercial". I have a new toy to play with, so I'll be
happy for a while in either case. :)

The N after vfsN means the nth VFS slot on the device. So if a device
has two memory card slots, you use vfs1 to access the second slot
(although I could never test this feature).

As for future plans, please take a look at the recent posts. I do not

I'm not much of a C programmer, and even less a Palm developer, so the
source code probably wouldn't help. But I wouldn't mind trying a
binary. Given the multitasking issues, my goal here would be to
simply force a certain screen (phone, home, etc.) every time Plua
exits. You can send it to my Yahoo account, toddoberly at yahoo com.

A (long) time ago, I had put together a library for use with Plua that
would call the PalmOS function for launching another application. I
don't remember the details, but I seem to recall that it only
half-worked...

If you are interested, I can try and find the C source for the library

I'm hoping for a way to access the "Builtin" volume that appears in
FileZ when you enable the "Show Hidden Volumes" setting. I'm not sure
if this DBCache or direct access to NVFS. The Resco Explorer docs
describe it like this: "NVFS databases can't be accessed directly.
Therefore Palm OS reserves part of RAM called DbCache. Prior to its
use the databases are copied from NVFS to the DbCache and after the
use they are copied back (if changed) or just purged (otherwise)."

Might you have any plans for a vfs01: (?) to access this storage?

I do not know what DBCache is, but if it is a standard PalmOS database
(PDB) you can open it with io.open(), read or write records, etc.

Plua programs can not run in the background. They will always open a

There is no way to launch PalmOS applications from within Plua.

new here, a few questions

2008-09-01T16:07:00Z

Hello,

I stumbled on Plua just last week and now found my way here. It will
take some time to learn the syntax and try all the Palm-specific
features, but that's the fun part. :) In the mean time, may I toss
out a few newbie questions?

1) I see that it's possible to access the SD Card with vfs0: ...but is
it also possible to access the DBCache area of RAM? If not, might
this be a planned feature, or is there some technical hurdle? For
example, I'd like to write a script that does some
processing/cataloging of the photos in the "Photos & Videos" directory.

(This isn't a Plua question, but when researching DBCache I found
several references stating that RAM could hold only .prc and .pdb
files. As I can see several .jpeg photos staring back at me, I'm
guessing this applies only to normal ram and not to DBCache?)

2) I'm not so much interested in writing applications as writing
GUI-less helper scripts that run "in the background". I compiled a
demo from the manual that creates a new .pdb file. Each time it runs,
it generates a white screen for a few seconds, and the screen that
follows isn't necessarily what I was previously viewing. I know
something about multitasking (or lack thereof) in Palm OS, but is
there a way around this specific problem?

3) By the time you read this, maybe I'll have found it in the manual,
but how do I launch an existing "appl" file with Plua? Does it matter
where the program is located (ie. in the ROM, on the SD card, etc.)?

Thanks for the help...and many thanks for Marcio for Plua!

Re: Do you know JazzyDraw, zzHatD?

Hi, I have just downloaded the program, and I liked it. Even when I
don't know how to save my work, or how to change a tool without
erasing the work o wait, I have just found the way.

And while I'm writing this, I want to say hello to everyone, ten
minutes here, and I´m programming, wow.

By the way, I am not used to speak in english, so don expect good
grammar and understanding from me.

Good point Louis,
But hard to evaluate before we see the price it would cost us and my
guess is that it won't worth buying it :(
I would prefer to support Marcio and have Plua opening the code, so that
others could continue to support the code, upgrade to Lua 5.1 and so on.

Best

Re: Re: Lua 5.1

It's not like you've had the source for Plua, and then had it taken
away. It's not like you've had the binary for the Plua interpreter
for PalmOS, and will have it taken away.

This seems to be more about ensuring some sort of continued
development, rather than something being removed. I see the potential
of continued support in a sustainable form as a very positive
development.

What a pitty :( :( :(

Thanks for keeping it free so far Marcio

There are no plans to support Lua 5.1. Because of personal and
professional reasons, I do not do PalmOS development anymore.

Over the years I have received many requests to open Plua's source
code. But recently I also received some commercial offers to buy it,
and I am evaluating the options. I will keep you posted.

Marcio.

Hi,
I am new here a I don't know very well about future implementations on
PLua. Does it has any plan to suport Lua 5.1?
Thanks.

And in the function i see "return"... Is useful to know that... So i

AW: Know RGB from color index

2008-08-08T10:04:01Z

I was searching in my files - here is one more way (PLUA 1) to extract the rgb - values

function GetRGB(var)

local qr, qg, qb

qr=floor(var/65536)

qg=floor((var-qr*65536)/256)

qb=var-qr*65536-qg*256

return qr,qg,qb

end

very best regards

My question is, exactly as title says, is there any way to know the R,
G and B values of a color given its index?
