Is there Digital Clock Component out there?

[Lagi Pittas]

HI Ali

Thanks for popping in with a vary practical and edifying lesson in the
power of the widget program/display mechanics.
Basically OO MVC for widgets with - in this case at least - very low
coupling.

Maybe you or somebody on the list with greater  Livecode powers than me
 (not difficult) could create or even jumpstart  an Android  FFI  widget
around the print to printer functions  in the latest Android.

Specifically some type of widget that we could call to connect to a printer
on a local network. Writing to specific printers via bluetooth or without a
wifi network would probably be lot of work.

It would save so much aggravation and be a great addition to the widget
course and of  much more practical use to me and I dare say others than the
 battery checker  example - which I would wager is probably more difficult
-

If I have a need for a widget I ultimately put the time in to  understand
it better because I will modify it - or add something to it - but the
battery checker i've just glossed over the code.

The way I've got round my problem at the moment is Windows Tablets but it
pains me running Windows 10 on an 8 Inch tablet just to make it easy to
print. - although they work remarkably well.

I'm sure there are others who would like an easy way to connect to a local
networked printer.

Thanks in advance


Kindest Regards Lagi
