iOS version of app displays Back button at the bottom & top lefthand corner. Why?

[cubiq1]

Hi there,

For some reason when I tick the Back Command option on my app's "Sign out" command, a big "Sign out" button appears at the bottom of the iOS version of the app.

Is there anyway to have "Sign out" appear just on the top left hand corner while still acting as a back command?

Thanks

Hi,
I'm not exactly sure how that happened. You cant have more than one back commands.

Hi,

I'm managed to recreate this behaviour using a new Hello World project.

I added two commands to my Main form (in this example "Exit" and "Settings").

I then set "Exit" as the Back Command and "Settings" to navigate to the SettingsForm (please see attached screen shots below).

This then resulted in an "Exit" button being placed at the bottom of the iOS app Main form (as well as the top left hand corner). If I remove the "Settings" command, the button "Exit" button disappears.

Any idea what the issue might be?

Thanks is advance.

By default, If command is more than 1 on IOS and you don't indicate that other commands should be placed at a particular location....those commands will be tiled at the bottom of your screen.

 I will suggest you create your commands in code like this:

@Override

    protected void beforeMyFormName(Form f) {

        f.removeCommand(f.getBackCommand());

        f.setBackCommand(null);

        Command Exit = new Command("Exit") {

            @Override

            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {

                if (Dialog.show("Exit", "Are you sure you want to exit?\nAll current Progress will be lost!", "Yes", "Cancel")) {

                    Display.getInstance().exitApplication();

                }

            }

        };

      Command Settings = new Command("Settings") {

            @Override

            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {

                  showForm("Settings_Form", null);

            }

        };

        f.setBackCommand(Exit);

        f.addCommand(Settings);

        f.revalidate();

    }

Hi,

Thanks for the help. This works but for the fact that people using the Java ME version of the app on a device which doesn't have a hardware back button won't be able to sign out.

Any other suggestions? I still don't know why the iOS app is inserting an extra button.

Cheers

I managed to solve the missing "Sign out" button in the Java ME app by doing this:

    f.setBackCommand(signOut);
    f.addCommand(settings);
    f.addCommand(signOut);
    f.revalidate();

Thanks again
