Front and Back Scripts on Mobile

[Ralph DiMola]

Thanks J! Yes exactly. I do all my coding around the LC field. When the user
enters data in the native field I then move it to the LC field and work on
it there. This allows IDE testing. Then when you start up the app set the
visible of the LC field to true if in IDE (JLG's dev()) and to false when
not in the IDE. In my case non-IDE is always mobile. You can layout the LC
fields in the IDE and then set the rect of the native field to the rect of
the now invisible LC field.

Just a note:

I created a library alias's for all the mobile specific commands I have used
so far. For example if I need a lat/lon location in the IDE or mobile I just
call My alias:

Function SensorReading
Local GPS
if dev() then
      put 53.338960434184 into GPS["latitude"]
      put -43.6840746841539 into GPS["longitude"]
   else
      put mobileSensorReading("location", true) into GPS
end if
return GPS["Latitude"] , GPS["Longitude"]
end SensorReading

This has been mentioned before but I think all mobile specific commands
should act this way in the IDE.

If you assign a name to the native control, mobileControlTarget() returns it
instead of the number. It's a handy way to match up native controls to their
LC counterparts without keeping a reference list.
