This is actually two problems.

1. Make it clickable.
   I think the easy way would be an "Open this" button that will launch your PDF viewer with that file.

2. Launching a PDF viewer with that file.
   https://www.google.com/search?q=android+launch+pdf+from+app seems to show this is down with intent.

Wow, while I know a lot of PCB and circuitry drawing apps (see my user icon) this one is not one I've run into.

But not all is lost. Software updated December 12, 2016 was just 2 days ago so I'd be sure your app is current and if still buggy file the bug at http://www.downstreamtech.com/contact-support.php

-> I've run across a lot of buggy systems like that and my advice is to "go with what works." If you find it only works when there is one tab, do that.

I take a minute to read content at one of your links. https://www.jsxc.org/contact.html shows a mailing list where I hope you've joined and checked out priors and maybe asked them more questions.

The install is not trivial and I see no mention of what I read in their install pages. That is, time to go over the install notes again.

Can you clarify the problem?

Either there is a need for offline work or the cash drawer needs integration (or a bast_rd workaround.)

For offline that's all up to the POS company.
For the cash drawer that is still up to them or if you are seeking a workaround my idea would be an app that looks for some event be it a file or a keyboard press to open the drawer. I take it you are a programmer just looking for ideas and not the end user.

Location issues can be mitigated by having your design documents complete before you begin development. Your top post is not a design document so you would have that ready as you shop developers.

Here's something that won't rile folk too much.

Someone had an idea for an app but didn't want to pay much if anything. So they went to the local colleges and picked up "interns" that would code for them in exchange for credits at the college. You can't vouch for the quality but you can get code for cheap(er)? this way.

As to whether it works for you, that's why you spent so much time writing the software design documents and how to test the app.

About 1235. Who said badguy and google use the same one way hash and salt? The entire reason for custom salt is to mitigate what you envisioned.

While my answer is it's low risk, not once did Google tell me the password. ONLY GOOGLE might answer all your questions.
Read https://www.quora.com/How-does-Google-store-passwords

The better programmers never store the password, but the result from some one way encryption. So to decrypt the attacker has to run the encryption some ludicrous number of times to find that "this" encrypts to "*#&1". Now it may be possible to make a database of hashes but if the salt changes, that blows up.

Is the actual (gmail) password stored elsewhere? Most Android phones!
Then again, the five dollar wrench is faster. Read https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/538:_Security

How I fix this today. I try the "install over the top" and if that fails, wipe and re-install. XP is like that and you learn over time that you can't fix every glitch. Sometimes you just clean install to fix it.

This post is strictly for programming's secret pleasures.

Similar thread noting yet another similar thread at https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/threads/379733/periodic-table-in-c

Looking at priors too with https://www.google.com/search?q=c+sharp+periodic+table+app finds ready to use code to make or just use.

And now it's broken here too. I appears that it was fine when I posted it and just to test I accessed it from a second browser.

Seems like a cron job ran and automessed it up. It does report as broken but is not if you continue. And I can't answer the experts part of the question but I too find the posting method to be a bit quirky.

For example, I hit Preview and it's not what I see when I post.
Good find.

OK with parentheses.
(http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3112381/SQL-Server-Calculating-Running-Totals-Subtotals-and-Grand-Total-Without-a-Cursor.htm)

Seems fine too. How to break this?

PS. In your example the link is to this which is not working.
https://www.daniweb.com/posts/bad_link/2212833?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.databasejournal.com%2Ffeatures%2Fmssql%2Farticle.php%2F3112381%2FSQL-Server-Calculating-Running-Totals-Subtotals-and-Grand-Total-Without-a-Cursor.htm (yep, dead.)

Let's test it.

-> That link.

On some forums the forum software doesn't figure it out automatically. The minus signs?

http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3112381/SQL-Server-Calculating-Running-Totals-Subtotals-and-Grand-Total-Without-a-Cursor.htm

Hmm seems fine or is it?

Just a thought. Since the linked site currently only has 189 items why not rip it one time onto another sheet and update as you see fit.

Seems a lot of work for what doesn't appear to change often.

PS. Added with edit. It's clunky but a while back to click things on the site we used the SendKeys() function to tab to the item and send the enter key to fire off the button.

To me this sounds like GIS (see google). I don't know your programming skill level or what the full design spec you wrote for this app but here's a start for open source GIS for Android.

I want to add two thoughts here.

1. Some think of a programmer is only a programmer if they are employed as a programmer. An artist is an artist if they produce art.
   So get out there and write something. Anything. The more the better.

2. Money. That's where the code hits the road and brings home the noodles. Just like an artist pay is all over the map. Be frugal, prepare for the rainy day, never stop learning.

So, madness.

Glad it helped. My Linux work over the years has been more on those embedded versions like HardHat Linux. And right or wrong the embedded stuff was almost always straight up C.

You escaped the asylum.

So I used google to see that gcc on centos question. It turns out you may have to compile gcc to get gcc.
https://www.vultr.com/docs/how-to-install-gcc-on-centos-6 for example. Of course you become an expert or descend into madness at that point.

Anyhow, glad my small contribution paid off above.

As I read https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/index.html I see you could set breakpoints at and before the failing line of code to examine why that line or call fails.

I'm running into new programmers that don't use all the tools.

Just a note. I've seen the printer selected to influence formatting and cell width/height. So there's that.
If I was working this I'd use the following call to see what the height was on good and bad table.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.interop.word.cell.height(v=office.11)

If the height is set to auto, then it's possible that won't show until the display is refreshed or the printer is selected.
You appear to know about Word and how it's WYSIWYG is not set in stone. That is, it changes with each printer we print to. Some think that's a bug but that's how it works.

A call to set the printer for the doc and repaginate is not unusual to see how it will look on this printer.

I googled priors on this and it appears you need to compile on the OS you want to target. I think you've seen a lot of apps are from repositories for each Linux OS version. So to target CentOS you need to compile with CentOS.

That out of the way, this is why many move to interpreted languages. Java, JS, PHP, etc.

I'm going with no. As in, not currently packaged like that. Since there is source you could make such a project but when folk ask this I have to think they want it like fast food. Ready to eat.

Only by merging LANs. Remember you didn't note what OS but Windows does not, out of the box scan or send network shares over more than a LAN.

Make it one LAN and it should work. I am encountering new networkers that well, are new. They often fall for "fix this with a route table." The newness wears off fast.

Free fish isn't always a bad thing. You have a great reply so +1 it is.

@jeff. Usually it's the motherboard or less often the LCD. Once a machine hits that low point unless you can source parts for cheap and even then it's the end. As to the HDD, a 500GB HDD here is well under 50 and anything smaller is 20 bucks at the PC thrift store (unless they are overpriced.)

So it sounds like it's the end. Just last month woot.com had a bunch of refurb dual core Windows 7 laptops for 129USD so that gives you an idea that repair is getting to be a tough market when you can find working models for so cheap. Also last month I picked up a Chromebook 15 inch for 87USD to my door. Next we are seeing 89 and 99 buck laptops just about to break onto the market.

I'd go shopping over repair today.

Just a small thing. Try to mark your answered posts answered if can.

@Jeff. That may be so and have heard this before. Are you saying a few parts is more than a new laptop?

Since batteries are cheap I replace those. THAT CLUE about not setting the date/time means you want to replace the CMOS battery too.

I understand that folk will not try 20 bucks of parts. I get that.

Since it appears that the reset worked (you didn't tell if it did or not) now it reads as if this is an old laptop. For now, skip the VB net since you rarely need it.

Let's hear make, model, age and if you knew to use the canned air on the vents once in a while.
Also if past a few years, did you replace the CMOS battery? Some laptops just won't boot when it's old and too low. There's a sign this is a broken laptop. You claim you leave the battery out. Why?

@jeff, did you complete the reset noted?

@Grib. So it's clear why it broke and why you did what you did.

How about this? I think you can turn it back off once you get logged in. So you can slice that cake anyway you want now.

Grib, I think that's it. Mind you my run at this was just to check out the browser and log it for more tests on some very very old machine.

Since these are 2 sites, the referer is, without me thinking too hard here, "it."

I do have questions. Was this a change from stock settings? And while I can guess why we would block this, why did you change the referrer setting?

OK, I grabbed the Windows Portable version, ran it, Dazah login and now this reply.
That's as clean as I can make this. If this posts, it worked on W10.

Line 23 looks wrong. Shouldn't you be testing arry?

While I agree on teaching vs. handing out fish, the OP is not engaged here. I think at this point this is their only post with no other feedback.

On some boards threads where the OP doesn't participate are closed very quickly.

For this I have to read priors at https://www.google.com/search?q=lertDialog.Builder&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=alertDialog.Builder+virtual+

Since you shared just a sliver of what your app holds my bet is some activity is not present at the time of the call. So it nulls and crashes.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28395271/android-app-crashing-when-it-reaches-alertdialog-builder-using-post-method kicked it around the most IMO.

Look at your 50 to the right of you member name. It has a thumbs up and the bot has just a number. I wonder if the intent was soften the negative blow?

Why does this remind me of the Chromega III wristwatch? "It's like asking a stranger for the time!"
I didn't have an Apple handy to try this out.

Thanks Jim.

From the web:

Chrome changed css cache behavior. Ctrl + R will do it.
On OS X: ⌘ + R

Since no clues are showing up, I wonder, could be a CDN caching the content? I mean you tried the incognito and now it's spread to other computers.

@gentle. Is there a site we can test this for you? The site I see it only does it under certain conditions and it may be site specific. But my bet is something's up both site and Chrome.

I'm going with yes, something is up (or down.)

Test like this: Open an incognito windows then Ctrl-F5 in your normal window and see if it shows different results from an Incognito window,

I haven't dug into this but on another forum, I hit the link, no update. Hit it again and a 404, hit it again and the content shows up. Next time I'm going to have to try the Incognito test.

I was doing a little research on this.

1. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=watermark+mp3+detection&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp= shows a lot of prior works.
2. Find the author at http://www.stiftung-swk.de/matlab/FFT_Audio_Watermark/rb_detect_watermark_mp3.m and see if they will join your team.

At least we didn't ask how to use the three seashells.

Fiddling with your code, "display: flex;" seems to be what breaks dots. Try other values?`

Remember "Only works in combination with the mentioned overflow value." So if you don't set overflow, then it's working as expected.

I missed that connection above and went checking on support. So if you don't set overflow, it will.
More at https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/o/overflow/

Can I Use also claims that Firefox doesn't support it,

I rechecked and it noted support for Firefox versions 49 to 53. My concern is that only iE11 was listed and too many use IE and lower versions so this is going to be hit and miss.

What I don't understand is you solved this, (read your code.)

My thought on your 1st post is you assumed too much. You can always try again but if you do, please read
https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question

The last time I did this, it was on the host OS and I have to google it if I ever have to do this again. A little complicated but doable.

Here's the thing. http://caniuse.com/#search=ellipsis tells me that this may not work except on the listed browsers.

So IMO, nothing broken, just wasn't supposed to work on a lot of browsers.
