520 selecting menu item?

How does one pick an item on a menu on the 520 (a unit that doesn't have a touch screen)?

Using the menu button (upper right) doesn't seem to trigger an event.

On the device, a long press is onMenu()/KEY_MENU and a short press is enter/select for an item.

Or are you having an issue in the sim? Which version of the SDK?

I'm using the sim. 3.07 of the sdk.

I've just tested the Input sample with the simulated 520 using the 3.0.7 SDK.. Pressing the top-right button does indeed generate a KEY_ENTER event with a ON_SELECT behavior as expected.

You mention this is a problem with a menu. Since the e520 doesn't support Menu2, it's just Menu. You push the menu view, and then up/down buttons allow you to highlight an item, and then a short press of the upper right button selects it. Are you trying to use the button on the bottom to select the item?
Try Hike2. There, a long press of the upper right button displays a menu, and a short press selects it. The right button on the bottom starts/stops recording, and when you stop recording, there is also a resume/save/discard menu. It's working fine on both the device and in the 3.0.7 sim.

Maybe post the code for when you push the menu, and the menu's delegate.

Thanks.

Not many devices support menu2.

I was using the upper right to select the item.

I'll try the stuff here later.

Actually, many devices support Menu2 - everything that has a CIQ3 VM. But the e520 is staying on CIQ2. So Menu2 is on the e520+ for example.

In the sim with the Input example, it's KEY_MENU and ON_MENU

You are not using the 3.0.7 SDK. If you're using the SDK manager, you're actually getting the 3.0.6 SDK.. There was a snafu with the upload.

I re-downloaded 3.07 and it now appears to be have properly. Thanks.
