Vivoactive 3: Enter Button = Menu Button?

winder1987 over 7 years ago

Hi all,

I'm trying to make my app available vor the Vivo 3. I recognize a strange behaviour: When a user press the enter button on the Vivo, the
function onKey(key)
seem to occur, but the app menu opens too...

Here is, what I do within the onKey function for the enter button:

if (key.getKey() == Ui.KEY_ENTER) {
    if (warmup == 0 and App.getApp().getWarmupProp()){
        alertWarm();
        m_gametimeCount = -1;
        if( Toybox has :ActivityRecording ) { //Beginn first half
            if( ( session == null ) || ( session.isRecording() == false ) ) {
                if (App.getApp().getSaveAsProp().equals("RUNNING")) {
                    session = Record.createSession({:name=>"Run", :sport=>Record.SPORT_RUNNING});
                    session.start();
                 } else if (App.getApp().getSaveAsProp().equals("GENERIC")) {
                     session = Record.createSession({:name=>"Generic", :sport=>Record.SPORT_GENERIC});
                     session.start();
                 }
            }
        }
        warmup += 1;
    } else if (warmup == 1 and App.getApp().getWarmupProp()){
        alertWarm();
        session.stop();
        session.save();
        session = null;
        warmup +=1;
        m_gametimeCount = 0;
    } else {
        startStop();
    }
}

Is this a bug or a feature?

Kind regards
Andy

If you are seeing this on the va3 itself, there are bugs in the 2.40 firmware having to do with input mapping in watch-apps. See:
https://forums.garmin.com/forum/deve...-on-the-device

Also, you want to return true or false in your onKey code, based on if you handled the key.

On the va3, onMenu() is called by pressing the screen.

Yes, it is on the Vivo itself.
You are right, the return is missing... maybe this is why this happens. Otherwise I will wait for a FW update.

Thanks

I'd go ahead and see if doing the proper returns help. In the 2.40 FW bug, I've only seen it impact the right swipe.

I've added a return true; and it seems to work...

Will, in the future FW, the swipe right "simulate" the bacl button or will the onBack() be executed?

Right Swipe triggers onBack in the sim. I'd go with that, as the onBack problem was reported and it sounds like a fix is in the works.

Got this situation reported to me by a user on a Vivoactive3m

When pressing The Physical Button, the App goes into the Garmin Menu (or rather it goes into the selection of available apps, like exiting the app)

function onKey(evt) {
        if( evt.getKey() == Ui.KEY_ENTER || evt.getKey() == Ui.KEY_START) {
            if (SwStartStop == 0) {
                if (session != null) {
                    DiscardSession();
                }
                StartSession();
                Ui.requestUpdate();
            } else if (SwStartStop == 1) {
                PauseSession();
            } else if (SwStartStop == 2) {
                ResumeSession();
                Ui.requestUpdate();
            }
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

Try returning true instead of false at the end on onKey(). So always return true.
