Mac Desktop Version - codenameone

Is there any way to set a version number for Mac OS Desktop apps in CN1? It always shows 1.0 no matter what I write in build.xml.
I can't find any build hint that could help either.
Thanks

I see a problem here, we'll fix it for the coming update so the version from the Codename One Settings app will be respected.

CN1 project not showing build hints and mobile properties on Windows10

I have copied the project from my old amchine to windows 10 machine. Application works without any problem on simulator. If I right click to see the properties, I don't see IOS, Android and build hints. Please advise if there is something I'm missing here.
This was removed ages ago in Codename One 5.0 but was deprecated before that. See https://www.codenameone.com/blog/removing-old-preferences.html
You should use Codename One Settings in the right click menu.

Tabs on android make the whole screen black

IDE: Eclipse
Desktop OS: Mac
Device : Android 4.0.4
Hi,
last week i sent a new android build to the server, and it updated the jar files i have on my Mac, then i installed the app on LG android 4.0.4 device that i tested before, and was surprised to find some pages display all black.
After investigating a little, i discovered that when i use tabs on any form the form will be displayed black only on android, no problem on simulator nor IOS iPhone 6S.
I looked at the forum and i found similar problem happened a year ago , and the solution was to use "android.asyncPaint=false" temporarily . now this removed the black, but messed all the rendering while navigating between tabs.
So my question is why this happened now? the past three months i was developing and deploying on android without any problem. Did the newest update corrupt something?
Thanks
Sam
Using the android.asyncPaint flag is discouraged as it will fallback into a relatively slow compatibility mode. We are currently investigating some regressions in some rendering optimizations that affect some devices and are in the process of deploying a solution for that.
Please let us know if the issues persist.

How can I best do accurate cross-browser testing on pages?

My goal is to get together a really solid set of testing environments for my web development. I want to leverage more HTML5/CSS3 and need to develop my toolchain better for testing in different browser environments.
I natively work in Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows. I have a mac laptop but can't always have it with me when travelling.
This is how I envision getting all environments on one laptop:
1. Ubuntu Linux (xubuntu/xfce)
2. Virtualbox / Windows
3. Virtualbox / Hackintosh
4. IOS dev environment (virtualbox ?)
5. Android Dev environment (native linux?)
Anyone have input?
This is all spurred by recently viewing one of my sites on an original iPad which still has IOS5 / Safari5. i realized that not just windows technology is crufty anymore. Internet Explorer and Safari are starting to run into many of the same long term web compatibility issues.
Thanks!
try something like https://www.equafy.com?
there is a free plan that shall include all but Mac.

"Show in Finder" broken in my XCode 4.6?

I use XCode 4.6 on OSX 10.8.2 and the "Show in Finder" Function from the right click context menu that used to work doesn't work anymore on my box. It just does nothing. I tried an XCode restart, restarting the machine, without success.
Can anyone imagine a way how this could be fixed without a fresh XCode install?
Note: Does work for my other Applications, iTunes for instance.
I am not sure what the actual issue is but whilst having a look around on the superuser.exchange website I came across this https://superuser.com/questions/479476/show-in-finder-wont-open-a-new-finder-window which seems to be what your issue could be.
Glad it has helped.

Does anyone know of an IE7 emulator?

I'm on Mac running parallels with windows XP and IE8 installed. The options I find either don't work with my version of Firefox or dont install correctly on the windows side. Do you know of any emulators for internet explorer?
What I'm looking for is to emulate websites in ie7 and ie6 to check. I know of IE=EmulateIE7 but will that force all users in IE8 to view in IE7? I'd rather fix my code than force someone to view in a different mode...
SuperPreview in Expression Blend can do that. See this answer.
Alternatively, you can create another Windows XP image with just IE6 and run it using Parallels.
IETester is the way to go. IE 5.5, 6, 7, 8 in one package.
Try using one of Microsoft's VirtualPC images for IE7. They give them away for free but they expire every couple of months.

You can download VirtualPC in Windows. It will probably run really slow in Parallels but you could also use Boot Camp and then run VirtualPC.
http://spoon.net/browsers/ is very handy too.
VPC is really the way to go, get the images from microsoft.
If you're already running Parallels, I'd suggest just using another VM for XP + IE7. It's the cleanest solution and provides the most reliable IE7 'emulation'.
