Option to lock AvareX screen

[A. Nepomuk Otte]

Hi guys,

Greetings from PDK in Atlanta.

I am looking for an option in AvareX to lock the display to prevent accidental zooming, scrolling, or changes to display options, etc.

I am instructing and frequently strap my tablet to my kneeboard so it doesn't distract the student from looking outside. The table is pressure-sensitive, and it often happens that the view changes when my elbow, hands, etc., apply pressure to the display, causing all sorts of problems.

It would be great to have an option that would lock the current view. Something like a soft button that, when long-pressed, ignores further inputs, and re-enables inputs by equally long-pressing it. 

Or maybe that option already exists?

Cheers and keep up the great work.

Nepomuk

I would second this opinion. I am also an instructor and use Avare. I look at the app periodically and put it away into a side pocket.  Usually when I grab it the next time, the screen is in some other place or menu due to inadvertent screen touches. When flying an instrument approach, this can become a significant distraction. It would be useful to have a locked screen mode. Perhaps a long press on the "Center" button could activate a screen lock?
