Using price_charts on phone

#362565

Postby schober » December 3rd, 2020, 12:35 pm

I've been trying to download and use price_charts v3 on a samsung s7 phone

1) chrome was unable to download it!

2) the samsung browser succeeded and it resides at

/storage/emulated/0/documents/PC.html

3) this url
file:///storage/emulated/0/documents/PC.html

is ignored by the damsung browser but chrome finds it

4) chrome displays the buttons along the top, but no graphs (there are 6 placeholdeer icons)

any suggestions how to get it to work?
cheers sch

Hmmm..... not just an Android phone problem, it now doesn't work on Windows 10 or Linux either. :(
There's clearly been a change in the source website. I'll have a look at it

I've updated Price Charts to v4.0 at: http://lemonfoolfinancialsoftware.weebl ... harts.html

This now uses LiveCharts as the source. The previous source no longer works. I am looking for an alternative but have so far failed to find anything suitable.
I checked the new version on my Android tablet and it works fine, though note that it is now a zipped file due to a quirk of the Weebly website.

Many apologies for the delay in fixing this

Thanks for that. Was going to suggest bigcharts but you have to get the "sid" before you can show the graph.

I have written a bash script using bigcharts (doesnt work ln phone - no root access)
