Buttons on Forerunner 235

Hi there,

I have an widget that has a menu in it that opens when a user presses the menu button on a watch with a menu button to the Menu/Up button on non-touch watches. A user says that they have a Forerunner 235 but they say that they cannot get into the menu. I am pretty sure that it works on the Fenix3. The way that I have implemented the menu entry is with the following code:

function onMenu()

    {	

    

    	mainmenu = new Rez.Menus.MainMenu();

		//mainmenu.setTitle("Main");

        //Ui.pushView( new CGMMenu(), new CGMMenuDelegate(), Ui.SLIDE_IMMEDIATE );

        Ui.pushView( mainmenu, new CGMMenuDelegate(), Ui.SLIDE_IMMEDIATE );

        //return true;

		sys.println ("Menu pressed");

		return true;

    }

    

	function onKeyReleased(releaseevt)

    {

	// For watches with buttons you need to launch the menu from a key press or release, not onMenu.

    	var keyid = releaseevt.getKey();

    	sys.println (keyid.toString());

    	if (keyid.toLong() == 13 || keyid.toLong() == 18) {

    	// key 13 is menu in fenix3

    	Ui.pushView( new Rez.Menus.MainMenu(), new CGMMenuDelegate(), Ui.SLIDE_IMMEDIATE );

       		    	}

	        //return true;

			sys.println ("key pressed");

			return true;

    }





class CGMMenuDelegate extends Ui.MenuInputDelegate {

//********************************************************************************************

// This is the main menu in the app.  

//

//********************************************************************************************

 

    function onMenuItem(item) {

  		sys.println ("CGMMenuDelegate entered");

        if (item == :item_1) {

//  Need to adjust this so that the settings menu does different things

			

			activemenu = new Rez.Menus.SettingsMenu();

			activemenu.setTitle("Settings");

			

         	Ui.pushView(activemenu, new SettingsMenuDelegate(), Ui.SLIDE_UP);





        } else if (item == :item_2) {

            // Do something else here in the Graphs menu

			    Ui.switchToView(new CGMGraphView(), new BackOutDelegate(), Ui.SLIDE_UP);

			    //cgmChartmodel.onGraph();

				sys.println(" entering graph screen");

			return globalText;

        }

    }

}

According to the simulator and the devices.xml file the up button in 13, so I would expect it to work on the Forerunner 235.

Am I missing something?

Many Thanks,

R.

On a 230/235 the menu is a long press on the up button, and to catch it, all you have to do is "onMenu()" in your BehaviorDelegate.

and when checking keys,

function onKey(evt) {
if(evt.getKey()==Ui.KEY_UP) {
}
}

gets you the up key.

for touch devices, I use swipe left and swipe right in place of key_up and key_down, but onMenu works the same.

if( evt.getKey() == Ui.KEY_MENU ) {

Can't that work? I don't catch the Up key.

Btw - onkeypressed and onkeyreleased works as expected?

Thanks for the replies. The long press was what solved the problem for the user. I will refactor my code when I get a chance, as the suggestions are more elegant.
