Data Field onTap() behavior on Edge Devices

Hi!

I created a little data field that shows distance and toggles between units (miles/Km) when you tap on the data field.

Works as designed on the simulator.

However....

In the real world when you tap the data field (say on an Edge 1030), the app navigation pops up (home, next page, prev page). Tapping again clears that, and the data field toggles to it's new setting.

Any way to disable this navigation screen from popping up when this particular data field is tapped?

Thanks for any guidance.

The key is that onTap(evt) has to return true to say you handled the event in your code.

Have a look at the example of ronnierbryant or the api documentation:

I will look at it again this evening.

Actually, that shouldn't be an issue on edge devices (the only ones that handle taps in a DF. In looking at your code, you set GlobalTouched==1 in the delegate, but don't seem to do anything in onUpdate based on that.

In compute(), (called every second), you turn it off.

Put some println calls in your code to see when things happen and in what order

"The key is that onTap(evt) has to return true to say you handled the event in your code."

That did it! I had read the doc, but the way they worded it was a touch confusing. Thanks!!!

I changed onTap to return True and that fixed the problem. You had that in your code, but I was more focused on the other parts of what you said.
