Thread: Jumps and scheduleafter with Prontoscript

Started 3 weeks, 5 days ago by cebrady

I have read through all the threads on jumps and thought I understood how to do this. But I can not get my simple tests to function without some kind of error and I dont understand what is going wrong. In ...

I've no idea about the simulator error that you are getting, but just ignore the actionlist error (one always gets them with this sort of thing and they mean nothing - IMO it is just a bug in the software). What happens when you download your configuration, with the schedule After, to the actual Pronto? Why not just put the requisite delay into the TVOn action list and move the jump into this...

Shouldn't the following scheduleAfter(5000,CF.widget("TVJUMP","ControlButt ons","Making Adjustments").executeActions); be scheduleAfter(5000,CF.widget("TVJUMP","ControlButt ons","Making Adjustments").executeActions () );

scheduleAfter() can bite if one ends up with too many items in the schedule. The action list error is just a warning. At times it can be a bother because it clutters the diagnostic output, but it can also warn of some very subtle problems. I think experienced programmers would appreciate a global or activity level flag to enable or disable the messages.

There's a new way coming to make this happen that should hopefully not give us the errors. I have not tested this just yet but I understand it will be made available.

This is a totally great group. Thanks for all your help. Implemented the scheduleAfter suggestion Sogliphy gave and everything started working. Back on track and busy trying new things. I am still amazed with everything you can do with this remote.

I can see how Sogliphy's suggestion would suppress the actionlist error message but are you saying that it also cured your "unexpected simulator guest exit" error?

No, the simulator crash is due to a bug in the software (which I already reported to Philips): if an instance method of any of the custom ProntoScript classes is invoked on an incompatible object, the software...

Still trying to figure out how to get jumps and actionlists to work correctly together. From my starting activity page I am executing the following actionlist System.setGlobal ("Display", "On"); //Used to determine what action to take after jump CF.widget("Display","hidden page").executeActions(); This invokes a button on the hidden page that executes a jump to a new activity page. The jump is...
