Info (*) on SpringBoard screen?

Archived

Is there any way to capture the * button on the roSpringboardScreen? There’s no isRemoteKeyPressed() event or IsInfoButton() event.

There is not currently a way to get the info button keypress on the SpringBoard screen. Thanks for pointing this out, as I agree it would be useful.

BTW, there is an isRemoteKeyPressed() event, it just doesn’t fire on info button keypresses… You can enable other keypress events with:

Void AllowNavLeft(Boolean isAllowed)
Void AllowNavRight(Boolean isAllowed)
Void AllowNavRewind(Boolean isAllowed)
Void AllowNavFastForward(Boolean isAllowed)

I’d have sworn that there was, because I had code in there to handle it, but I guess I never actually tested it. Yes, it would be nice, please. :slightly_smiling_face:

Sorry, yeah, I know there’s an isRemoteKeyPressed() event, I was specifically referring to it not being triggered by the info button. I was actually hoping there was an undocumented AllowInfo(Boolean isAllowed) that I could use.

Roku -

Any update on this, as to whether we can expect this in a future update? Would really be helpful to have.

But knowing either way would be good too, as in deciding how to create specific options on the play screen.

Thanks
Just a friendly “bump”

Wondering if there has been any update to this in the 3.x code?

In the 3.x code, i now here the “blip” when pressing “*” on the springboard screen, but no event?

bump…

Ok, just wondering, and would only take a few seconds of someones time to post a response.

Does ROKU have any intentions to ever making this work? Would be nice to actually have the button event in this scenario, but never actually get a response as to whether it will be implemented?

I’ll try and track someone down to take a look at this thread again here shortly.

Spoke to Kevin a moment to alert him to it. He’s a little busy at the moment so be patient.

This is not implemented yet… It’s not scheduled for any of the release in the next couple weeks.

Since its been two years now, just wondering if this was ever implemented, it doesn’t seen to be from what i’ve tried.
Seems like an obvious thing, wondering why its not in there.
thanks

Yes, it was. The * button will raise an isButtonInfo() on a roSpringboardScreen. http://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/ … creenEvent
