v1.4 android

[billieblaze]

So, i've been trying to update android to 1.4, but having limited success.. I basically tried to run the latest version for iPhone. but there were SO MANY updates it seems, that it wouldn't run. I'm wondering if i can get a quick synopsis of the 1.3->1.4 changes so that i can kind of step thru them one by one..

yeah, it's a lot. I'm going to take a stab at it soon. Um.... in brief, here are some of the larger changes:

1. No more globals except for widget instances declared in interface files. This means oscManager is now Control.oscManager, the Button prototype is now Control.Button etc.
2. Interface files are now restructured. They now look something like this:

Control.interface = {
  name : "test",
  orientation : "portrait",
  pages: [[
    { name: "testButton", type: "Button", bounds:[0,0,.5,.5] },
    { name: "testButton2", type: "Button", bounds:[.5,.5,.5,.5] },
  ]]
}

3. The way the default interface files that are included with Control are formatted is completely different.

4. Upgraded PhoneGap version. Upgraded jQuery Mobile to 1.1.

I need to have both the iOS version and the Android version done before NIME, which is on the 21st of May. So I should get to it soon! It's really been coming along really well and I'm excited to get it out the door. - Charlie

Yes. But I've been saying that for a while. The github version should work fairly well though if you're willing to compile it yourself... let me know if you have any luck.
