Re: [Bug-apl] Android and the )OFF command

[Elias Mårtenson]

Well, this is arguably not the biggest issue right now. ☺ It is, however, something I came across during my experimentation.

I have to admit that I'm not sure what is the logical thing to do when receiving the )OFF command. Android applications generally never exits. I suppose doing a full restart of the APL interpreter is the most logical thing to do.

Is there a way to do this without exiting?

Regards,
Elias

Hi Elias,

we have the HAVE_ANDROID macro already, so I can return from )OFF
without doing anything under android.

Note that cmd_OFF is called from other places as well, not
sure how they react if we return instead of exit()-ing.

On Android, one does not want )OFF to actually kill the process itself, since this instantly kills everything, which is problematic for an Android application.

Of course, I can check the command typed in the input field before sending it to the interpreter, but with the arrival of commands being executable, this is not a complete solution.

Would it make sense to add a callback that I can set that will be called when the )OFF command is issued, and you only fall back to the default behaviour if this callback is NULL?
