problem: simulation of button, swipe, tap-events? code / venu sq / connect ID device simulator

Hello,

I tried to simulate events (button press, swipe, tap) with Connect ID Device simulator, but after extensive trial it did not work so far.

Also recommended SDK samples are not self-explainable or easy to copy / past for quick success or general understanding.

I understood that there is InputDelegate or BehaviorDelegate available in Monkey C to use, but I have a problem to get those integrated into test code
(there is only fragments of class description available)

Where to insert event classes / sub-classes in general (in onUpdate?)

Are there special settings required in the simulation window?

I want to test it for Venu Sq (2 Buttons on the right sight). Does anybody know which ID/name the buttons have (ESC, Menu?)

Would be very happy an thankful and I am sure also others for a short but comprehensive example to copy/past that can visualize how to handle and test those events?

Thank you very much!

Uli

look at the input sample in the SDK, With eclipse, use file>input to add it to your workspace. With VS Code, just add the folder for the project to your workspace,

For the bottom button, you can see it as onBack (short press) or onMenu (long press) and with the input sample you can see them all.

Hi,

I imported the input example to my eclipse workspace. Still has an issue to run in the Device Simulator.

Which *mc file to run? InputApp, InputDelegate, InputView?

I normally run with configuration where device "Venue sq" is selected the the "run configuration" menue. For the Input Example there is no such choice possible.

It is also Projekt Type "Watch" and Target device selection is blank. Could this be the issue?

How and where could I insert code in my own project to start procedures based on an click,tap, swipe, event..

I would like to build a widget (project type "Widget")

You need to add the venu sq as a target. Click on manifest.xml and you'll get an editor where you can select targets. (second tab)

The input sample is a watch/device app. If you want you can change it to a widget (first tab in the editor for manifest.xml)

Understand that a widget doesn't handle things like up/down in the main view for something that wasn't started by way of a glance.

What you probably want to do instead of adding your code to the sample is grab what you need from the sample and insert it into your code.

I change settings in manifest.xml.

But I still can not set the target in the "run configurations" menu and therefore I cannot run the application (disabled).

Which mc-file to choose? InputApp, InputDelegate, InputView?

In the manifest editor, check the venu sq and venu sq music. Like this:

As far as what to run, you run the project and not an mc file

There are no selectable Target Devices

Changed Project Type to: Widget. Now a target device is selectable und it works.

Thank you a lot for your guidance and helpful advice!
