Help find my bug: on device settings

beva 16 days ago

Oke, I got the on device settings to work in collaboration with the off device settings. Thanks for helping me in the right directions.

I only still have one strange behaviour. If back from my main menu is triggered with a swipe to right everything works perfect (at least imho :D ) however, if the back button is used, it shows a black screen and needs to be pressed again. Actually I'd expect both to return to the Garmin generated Settings/Delete menu, but that is gone. So I guess that has to do with third party watchfaces, or can I manipulate the Settings/Delete menu as well oops that's another question. From my menu's submenu's the backbutton works as expected.

The need to press the back button twice bothers me, so please tell me how to fix that, if it can be fixed.

It makes no difference if I override the onBack() function in the delegate or not.

   public function onBack() as Boolean {
        WatchUi.popView(WatchUi.SLIDE_DOWN);
        return true;
    }

return false in onBack()

As noted in the op, the bug happens whether or not onBack() is overridden so changing its return value would be unlikely to fix the problem.

The problem is that there…

I don't know where it takes you if you exit the watchface.

As noted in the op, the bug happens whether or not onBack() is overridden so changing its return value would be unlikely to fix the problem.

The problem is that there's an "extra" initial settings view (the trSettingsView returned by getSettingsView) which does nothing but push the real initial settings view (main menu). That's why the user has to press back twice at the main menu: once to pop the main menu, once to pop the extra view. The fix is to get rid of the extra view and return the main menu directly from getSettingsView.

As a side note, onBack() can be removed from the code if all it does is pop the current view and return true. (I'm guessing it was only there as a test to see if it would fix the original problem)
