Extending LiveCode
The progress on LiveCode continued at quite a fast pace and by April 2012, RunRev had implemented all the iOS features for Android as well as added a lot to the feature set for iOS.
Still today, not every feature is covered and there is a third-party market of add-ons to LiveCode, which either makes developing in LiveCode easier or provide features that are not yet available in the standard version. Here are some of the add-ons, most of which can be bought from the LiveCode Marketplace at:
MobGUI
We already used
MobGUI in earlier chapters. It takes the form of a plugin. You can place the MobGUI file in your plugins folder. The LiveCode lesson at http://lessons.runrev.com/s/lessons/m/4071/l/21341-how-to-install-custom-user-plugins describes how to add plugins.
The way MobGUI works is that it lets you place the regular LiveCode controls onto your stack's card and then when the app is run, the standard controls are swapped for native controls...
