I would like to use the BaseDiagnostic as a starting off point for my application. I would like to use the hot keys to determine which of 3 loops to run. The loops would display and update the GPS position, speed and heading on the built in LCD. I haven’t been able to figure out how to use the hot keys to break back out of the loop.
No prob, great that you're jumping in.... if you post some code I can help you specifically, but one way to do it is to set a global variable to true when buttonEvent(ButtonEvent event) is called:
private boolean hotkey1Pressed = false; ...
private void doStuff(){ while (!hotkey1Pressed){ System.out.println("I'm doing stuff...."); } System.out.println("Outside of loop because hotkey1 was pressed..."); }
... public void buttonEvent(ButtonEvent event){ if (event.getAction() == ButtonEvent.KEY_UP) { System.out.println("In if..."); switch (event.getButton()) { case (ButtonEvent.BUTTON_HOTKEY_1): hotkey1Pressed = true; break; .... } } }
Give that a try and let me know if I can help further.

Thanks I guess I just needed to put the loop in the right place. I haven't gotten to the chapter in my book on events yet. In case anyone is interested here is the code in question...
while (CurrentButton != 4){// pressing button 4 should end the routine. while (CurrentButton == 0){// enter all the stuff you want to happen before any button is pressed. // Write a loop to get a fix System.out.println("GPS has a fix..."); try { Thread.sleep(1000); // ask currently executing Thread to sleep for 1000ms }// end try catch(InterruptedException e) { System.out.println("Sleep interrupted:"+e); }// end catch } // end what to do when no button has been pressed
while (CurrentButton == 1){ try { System.out.print("Current Location = "); LCDDisplay ("TEST"); // System.out.println(position.getLatitudeLongitude()); Thread.sleep(100); // ask currently executing Thread to sleep for 1000ms }// end try catch(InterruptedException e) { System.out.println("Sleep interrupted:"+e); }// end catch
}// end while 1
while (CurrentButton == 2){ System.out.print("2 "); try { Thread.sleep(100); // ask currently executing Thread to sleep for 1000ms }// end try catch(InterruptedException e) { System.out.println("Sleep interrupted:"+e); }// end catch
}// end while 2
while (CurrentButton == 3){ System.out.print("3 "); try { Thread.sleep(100); // ask currently executing Thread to sleep for 1000ms }// end try catch(InterruptedException e) { System.out.println("Sleep interrupted:"+e); }//end catch
}// end while 3
}// end while != Button 4 CurrentButton = 0;// resets the current button var. If GPS is removed and re-installed it will reset the program }// end doStart
public void buttonEvent(ButtonEvent event) {
if (event.getAction() == ButtonEvent.KEY_DOWN) { /** * input anything that you want to do on key-down * */ } if (event.getAction() == ButtonEvent.KEY_UP) { System.out.println("In if..."); switch (event.getButton()) { case (ButtonEvent.BUTTON_HOTKEY_1): CurrentButton=1; System.out.println("trackpoint" + CurrentButton); break; case (ButtonEvent.BUTTON_HOTKEY_2): CurrentButton=2; System.out.println("trackpoint" + CurrentButton); break; case (ButtonEvent.BUTTON_HOTKEY_3): CurrentButton=3; System.out.println("trackpoint" + CurrentButton); break; case (ButtonEvent.BUTTON_HOTKEY_4): CurrentButton=4; System.out.println("trackpoint" + CurrentButton); break; case (ButtonEvent.BUTTON_UP): CurrentButton=5; System.out.println("trackpoint" + CurrentButton); System.out.println("trackpoint up"); break; case (ButtonEvent.BUTTON_DOWN): CurrentButton=6; System.out.println("trackpoint" + CurrentButton); System.out.println("trackpoint dn"); break; case (ButtonEvent.BUTTON_LEFT): CurrentButton=7; System.out.println("trackpoint" + CurrentButton); System.out.println("trackpoint L"); break; case (ButtonEvent.BUTTON_RIGHT): CurrentButton=8; System.out.println("trackpoint" + CurrentButton); System.out.println("trackpoint R"); break; case (ButtonEvent.BUTTON_SELECT): CurrentButton=9; System.out.println("trackpoint" + CurrentButton); System.out.println("trackpoint Sel");
