newStepper onHold

[Sparrow]

Hi Guys

i have changed to onPress to onHold.

want to have the buton on pressed to increment & decrement but on hold want to use timerIncrementSpeed to hold down either - + to get to higher/lower numbers quicker… cant seem to get it to work, it works on the on Press adds 1 per touch please help, code below.

local currentNumber = 100

– Handle stepper events
local function onHold( event )
    local phase = event.phase
 
 --update currentNumber
 
    if “increment” == phase then
        currentNumber = currentNumber+ 1
    elseif “decrement” == phase then
        currentNumber = currentNumber- 1
    end
end

 

– Create a default stepper (using widget.setTheme)
local newStepper = widget.newStepper
{
   
 left = display.contentWidth-70,
    top = 280,
    initialValue = 100,
    minimumValue = 0,
    maximumValue = 200,
    timerIncrementSpeed = 1000,
    changeSpeedAtIncrement = 5,
    --onPress = onPress,

    onHold = onHold,

}

Hi @darryl_wainwright,

I investigated this and it appears that our documentation is incorrect. There is just one listening function for this widget (onPress), so please use that. I’ll be correcting the documentation very soon on this point, and apologies for the mistake.

Thx Brent

No worries, I’ll get to writing my own one with a couple of buttons.

I’ll post below when done if anyone needs.

Hi all

see above couldn’t get the Stepper to work as needed so wrote my own.

Someone must have a way to cut this code down, bat all in all works good enough for me.
