Android Surprise Package
Did somebody say Android Externals?

[editors note: I was reading the discussion group recently and suddenly discovered that the latest test release of LiveCode 6.1.1 had a feature I had no idea was on the cards. I thought you all might like to hear about it too! Who better to tell you all about it than the guy who has been pressing for Android Externals longer and louder than anyone else...]

It probably comes as no surprise to most LiveCoders that I've been a little desperate for an Android Externals SDK for a while now. One of the most common pre-sale questions I field from mergExt customers is - do you have this for Android or that for Android. Up until this week I've had to say no, we can't do that yet because RunRev haven't released an SDK. Usually I cheekily ask them to harrass RunRev's support team to help make it a higher priority (sorry Heather). It's not just self interest though. I strongly believe that externals are a critical component of the platform enabling us to get the job done when the engine doesn't cover a feature we need.
