Overview

BehaviorDelegate handles behavior input events.

A BehaviorDelegate differs from an InputDelegate in that it acts upon device-independent behaviors, such as "next page" and "previous page" instead of device-specific button presses. For example, these behaviors might be mapped to swipe left and swipe right inputs on touch screen devices, while on non-touch screen devices these behaviors might be mapped to physical buttons.

Since BehaviorDelegate extends InputDelegate, so it can also act on basic inputs as well. If a BehaviorDelegate returns true for a function (indicating the input was used) then the InputDelegate function that corresponds to the behavior will not be called.

Example:

using Toybox.System;
using Toybox.WatchUi;

class MyBehaviorDelegate extends BehaviorDelegate {
    // Detect Menu behavior
    function onMenu() {
        System.println("Menu behavior triggered");
        return false; // allow InputDelegate function to be called
    }
    // Detect Menu button input
    function onKey(keyEvent) {
        System.println(keyEvent.getKey()); // e.g. KEY_MENU = 7
        return true;
    }
}
