LVGL 8 Keypad problem

AHO · September 3, 2021, 9:03am

Hi there
I am amir and very glad to meet LVGL awesome library.
I love it and thanks a lot for start and developing this project.
I migrate from LVGL 7 to LVGL 8 in Linux with fbdev implementation every thing ok but now want to add Keypad to my project and unfortunately didn’t successed.
the call back of keypad call periodically and the “data->key” fill correctly with the related key’s value.
but no changes appear in the group.

in main i use:
My Main indev call:

	lv_port_indev_init();
	KeypadGroup = lv_group_create();
	printf("the Indev keypad = %p \n", indev_keypad);
	lv_indev_set_group(indev_keypad, KeypadGroup);

My indev keypad read function:


static void keypad_read(lv_indev_drv_t * indev_drv, lv_indev_data_t * data)
{
    static uint32_t last_key = 0;

    uint32_t act_key = keypad_get_key();
    if(act_key != 0) {
        data->state = LV_INDEV_STATE_PR;

        /* Translate the keys to LVGL control characters according to your key definitions*/
        switch (act_key) {
            //case 0x01: act_key = LV_KEY_ESC; break;
        case 0x01:
            printf("Hit Down \n");
            last_key = LV_KEY_DOWN;
            break; // Down
        //case 0x04: act_key = LV_KEY_Fn; break;   
        case 0x02:
            last_key = LV_KEY_NEXT;
            printf("Hit TAB \n");
            //LV_KEY_DEL;
            break;
            //case 0x10: act_key = LV_KEY_OPEN; break;
        case 0x04:
            printf("Hit Up \n");
            last_key = LV_KEY_UP; break; // Up
        //case 0x40: act_key = LV_KEY_CLOSE; break;
        case 0x08:
            printf("Hit Enter \n");
            last_key = LV_KEY_ENTER; break;
            //case 0x04: act_key = LV_KEY_LEFT; break;
            //case 0x08: act_key = LV_KEY_RIGHT; break;
        }

        last_key = 0;
    } else
    {
        data->state = LV_INDEV_STATE_REL;
    }

    data->key = last_key;  
}

Hi,

Happy to hear that you like LVGL

Unless I’m messed up with the brackets you set last_key to a value in the switch, break from it and set last_key=0. So last_key will be always zero.

yes I am sorry I had changed the code more and more and remove some variables and did this mistake but still, I had a problem. data->key fill with correct value but any changes showes in the list or other keypad group elements with arrow keys.

static void keypad_read(lv_indev_drv_t * indev_drv, lv_indev_data_t * data)
{
    static uint32_t last_key = 0;
    /*Get the current x and y coordinates*/
    //mouse_get_xy(&data->point.x, &data->point.y);
    /*Get whether the a key is pressed and save the pressed key*/
    uint32_t act_key = keypad_get_key();
    if(act_key != 0) {
        data->state = LV_INDEV_STATE_PR;

        /* Translate the keys to LVGL control characters according to your key definitions*/
        switch (act_key) {

        case 0x01: // Down
            printf("Hit Down \n");
            last_key = LV_KEY_DOWN;
            break; 
        case 0x02: // TAB
            last_key = LV_KEY_NEXT;
            printf("Hit TAB \n");
            break;
        case 0x04: // Up
            printf("Hit Up \n");
            last_key = LV_KEY_UP;
            break; 
        case 0x08: // Enter
            printf("Hit Enter \n");
            last_key = LV_KEY_ENTER;
            break;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        data->state = LV_INDEV_STATE_REL;
    }
    data->key = last_key;
    printf("Value of data->key = %d \r", data->key);
}

I cant solve this problem, could you please help me?

Please send the log of the printfs in your keypad_read.

the printfs are ok i can see the value of
LV_KEY_ENTER
LV_KEY_UP
LV_KEY_NEXT
LV_KEY_DOWN
but i think in the 8 version of lvgl I should set a flag in the lv_conf file or something like this to using keypad group!?.

My main indev init:

	lv_port_indev_init();
	KeypadGroup = lv_group_create();
	printf("the Indev keypad = %p \n", indev_keypad);
	lv_indev_set_group(indev_keypad, KeypadGroup);

using group:

	lv_group_add_obj(KeypadGroup, MenuList);
	lv_group_focus_obj(MenuList);

I check with message box and simple widgets but they don’t works too.

I have no idea

Form the log is seems LVGL recognizes the keys.

But there something strange in lines like these:

[Info]of(0.584, +207)18  indev_keypad_proc: 18 key is pressed   (in lv_indev.c line #406)

What is the of after [Info]? And 18 after +207)?

thanks for the reply,
“of” and “18” are the output of myself printf in the end of keypad_read proc from this
printf(“Value of data->key = %d \r”, data->key);
not “\n” and there is no problem.
I think everything is ok but i can’t use group indev like v7 ?!
is any flag or setting added to v8 ? to active the grope or using the keypad?

i found the problem…
after group create we should call

lv_group_set_default(KeypadGroup);

the problem is solved.

I used some keypad features but the functionality of keypad was changed.
I can’t use the tab to switch between elements and when I create new widgets I cant use the keypad for control it? in new widget the old handlar function called.

It just automatically adds the widgets to the given group.

Please send a short code snippet t o see how you:

add the group to the keypad
create 2 buttons
add them to the group
