LUA QA | using variable from 1 function in another


Symbiot78

Question

So 

I have a function:

function QuickApp:button3_1_pressed()
self:updateView("label_1""text"" Alkove Valgt")
selected_button = "button_3_1"
end
 
I want to use that in another function but it doens't seem to carry the content of my 'selected_button' variable. I thought _not_ using local would let me store info in a variable for... later use?
 
function QuickApp:button2_1_pressed()
self:updateView("label_1""text""Åbner")
fibaro.debug("QUICKAPP368",selected_button)
if (selected_button == "button3_1_pressed"then
      --åben alkove
    function QuickApp:btn3_1_pressed()
    local url = "http://"..powerview_ip.."/api/shades/40999"
    fibaro.debug("QUICKAPP368",url)
....

Hi,

 

You can do this by declaring the variable in the QuickApp:onInit(). --> Declare self.selected_button = ""

 

function QuickApp:onInit()
 
self.selected_button = ""
 
end
 
function QuickApp:button3_1_pressed()
self:updateView("label_1""text"" Alkove Valgt")
self.selected_button = "button_3_1"
end

 

function QuickApp:button2_1_pressed()
self:updateView("label_1""text""Åbner")
fibaro.debug("QUICKAPP368",selected_button)
if (self.selected_button == "button3_1_pressed"then
      --åben alkove
    function QuickApp:btn3_1_pressed()
    local url = "http://"..powerview_ip.."/api/shades/40999"
    fibaro.debug("QUICKAPP368",url)

It works with Lua globals (within the same QA, and as long as the QA doesn't restart).

However, you set it to "button_3_1" and test it against "button3_1_pressed"
