keypress matter

[intheworldofmyown]

hi any idea why my key press when i run the application for the first time, it will be able to allow the image to move continuously when the key is press. but when i run the second time it does not work?

  protected void keyPressed(int key) {
        keyCode = key;
        event = "Pressed";
        handleActions(key);
        repaint();
    }

    protected void keyRepeated(int key) {
        keyCode = key;
        event = "Repeated";
        handleActions(key);
        repaint();
    }

    protected void keyReleased(int key) {
        keyCode = key;
        event = "Released";
        repaint();
    }

    protected void pointerPressed(int x, int y) {
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
        keyCode = 0;
        event = "Pressed";
        repaint();
    }
    protected void pointerReleased(int x, int y) {
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
        keyCode = 0;
        event = "Released";
        repaint();
    }

    protected void pointerDragged(int x, int y) {
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
        keyCode = 0;
        event = "Dragged";
    }

    void handleActions(int keyCode) {
        int action = getGameAction(keyCode);
        switch (action) {
            case LEFT:
            x -= dx;
            break;
            case RIGHT:
            x += dx;
            break;
            case UP:
            y -= dy;
            break;
            case DOWN:
            y += dy;
            break;
            case FIRE:          
                 setX=x;
                    setY=y;
                  mustRepaint=false;
                  break;
            
            
        }
    }

Hi,
Can you check and tell me where second time control is not coming..
In kerpressed() or where..

Only two reasons according to me-
@ Either the Canvas is not set as current or is null.thats why keypressed will not be called at all..or
@ It is coming in key pressed but but not entering in the conditions...

you can put the println()and check what exactly is happening..
Thanks,

Hi,
are you putting the println() in keypressed()..if not then put one and press the key and check whether the control is coming or not...

Thanks,

Hi,

in my opinion It has something to do with your mustRepaint variable (but cannot be sure about it, without seeing your repaint() method implementation).

Try this slightly modified version of the handleActions() method:

 void handleActions(int keyCode) {
        mustRepaint=true;
        int action = getGameAction(keyCode);
        switch (action) {
            case LEFT:
            x -= dx;
            break;
            case RIGHT:
            x += dx;
            break;
            case UP:
            y -= dy;
            break;
            case DOWN:
            y += dy;
            break;
            case FIRE:          
                  setX=x;
                  setY=y;
                  mustRepaint=false;
                  break;
            default:
                  mustRepaint=false;
                  break;
            
        }
    }

Hope it helps,
Pit

sorry jappit,
i switched to your code but doesn't work.
it still doesn't do the keyRepeat actions

public boolean mustRepaint() {
        return mustRepaint;
    }

the method is as simple as this.

and it still cannot repeating call the methods when i hold down the buttons.

Hi shirodas,

my guess was that, after the first FIRE key press, you was never setting the mustRepaint variable to true, but I was not that right obviously
Anyway, try the debug methods proposed by Raj, otherwise post a more complete code, so that It'll be possible to debug it.

HEy initialize all the value again ...as u hav done in starting i m sure it wil work

Hi shirodas,
If you dont mind then can you please that..whether keyPressed() is not working.. second time or keyRepeated() is not working...
You can put the code here...
Thanks,
