Simulator not working correctly - buttons inactive

Former Member over 10 years ago

hi,

I am usingEclipse IDE for Java Developers on windows 8 64
Version: Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2)
Build id: 20150219-0600

and downloaded the Connect IQ SDK 1.1.1 released on Apr 21, 2015.

I got the firstApp running but the buttons in the simulator does not work.
I subsequently tried to run the different samples provided with the SDK and get the following(see at end) ....the simulator runs but with the previous run config I setup(so not the sample app I loaded).
Even after removing the previous project(firstApp) and the new(Keyboard) setup 'run config', it still keeps running the previous firstApp I did. I tried cleaning the project. Restarting Eclipse. Re- installing. I have checked and the file "Keyboard.prg" does exist in the mentioned folder. Seems like bytecode or something.

Can someone thread some light onto this please? :o - really wanna get coding!! :-D

I believe the issue is related to the spaces in the path to the SDK/samples directory. Try remove the spaces or move your SDK to a new location that does not have spaces in the path.

You are 100% correct thanks! :-D
All is working as expected now.
I assume then it is an eclipse issue based on Java.

Out of curiosity....my simulator does not respond to button presses when displaying a watchface. Is that correct behaviour, or can I assume mine is also broken because of something like the path?

It has to do with how paths are handled within the plug-in. We have some work in place to handle spaces but it's not 100% there just yet.

Watch faces cannot receive any input. If you're able to run the app on the simulator then you aren't having any problems with spaces in your path.
