Button functins based on home screen selection

Hi,

Is it possible to make the cursor control buttons (hardware buttons) dependent on the selected home screen?

Thanks in advance

I’m not sure what you mean by that. Can you give me an example?

I want to have in my activity two, or more, home screens and want to have the cursor control (up, down, left, right and ok) working for the set top box with home screen one, and if I swipe to home screen two, I want to control the TV with these hardware buttons.

Ok, by home screens you mean pages in an activity. No, thats not possible

Yes pages is the better word.

And switching it with a software button? Or any other possibility in an activity?

Only possibility is to tap on the top of the screen then you get a list of all entities used in the activity and you can start the entity with the according GUI and button mapping.

Ok, thanks. I will try this.

I put links to every other activity in each activity in order to jump back and forth. It work pretty well.

Can you explain how you did that? :wink: you Jump from one Activity to an other and then you have different functions on the Main Buttons?

You can add an activity as you would an entity to another activity. Note that the web configurator will not let you add an activity to itself.

Here’s my main remote page.


When I enter the Apple TV activity I have a basic utility page with some handy switches. I circled other activities I added.


When I click them it automatically closes the activity and opens the new activity. I have this page on every utility (I didn’t add the Switch 2 since that’s basically switching HDMI with no controls). I made the utility page in a dummy activity and copied it to each activity. In order to get around not being able to add an activity to itself, I added to activity commands after copying and pasting the User Interface page.
