Is there a simply widget sample that shows how to switch between two screens?

Thanks!

I think the Primates sample app is a good example of how to push and pop views, which I think it what you're after.

Hi,

that doesn't work. In that, it just switches from one view to another and that's it. Seems to be broken :-(

What I'd like is a simple example that actually works.

I may need you to clarify what you need, then. Another sample app that "switches screens" but does not push and pop views is the UserProfile widget. It just uses an input delegate to detect menu presses and sets a counter based on the key press. Perhaps something like this will suit your purposes better.

Thanks, could you tell me the difference between the two approaches?

On the simulator how can I trigger the enter button being pressed? And how in code can I trap for that particular event?

s'ok figured it out...

function onKey(evt) {

var i = evt.getKey();

The main difference is one of sophistication.

In the User Profile app, the app is getting the user profile data and then cycling through the available data. It's just text display and limited interaction is available.

Popping and pushing views, like in the primates app, gives you more control over what's shown in each view, and it can improve your code organization.

To catch the Enter key specifically, you can create an InputDelegate (rather than a BehaviorDelegate) and catch the KEY_ENTER press, like this:

class MyInputDelegate extends Ui.InputDelegate
{
    function onKey( evt ) {

        var key = evt.getKey();

        if ( key == Ui.KEY_ENTER ) {

            // Do stuff like push and pop views here
