Versa simulator

[JamesScreech]

I'm new to FitBit development (though have about 35 year software development experience), I've started experimenting with creating watchfaces and apps but I cannot get screen taps to work on the simulator. My app detects this fine on an actual versa but not on the simulator. Does the simulator produce the equivalent of screen taps? Or button presses? If so how?

Mouse click.

Doesn't work for me, that was the first thing I tried.

Works for me; you must be trying to detect the events differently to me.

I define the image as :

  <image id="watchFace-1" class="clock-widget" href="background-1.png" pointer-events='visible' system-events='all' />

and in javascript&colon;

let face_1 = document.getElementById("watchFace-1");

face_1.onclick = function(e) {NextFace();}

This works fine on an actual Versa, NextFace() is called when I tap on the screen image but in the simulator clicking on the image nothing.

Untested guesses:

• Try not using single quotes in the .gui.
• Try using a rect rather than an image.

Make sure your other interface elements have 

pointer-events="none"

or that the active ones are topmost in z-order (i.e., declared last).

On further testing, this appears to be an intermittent issue. Sometime mouse clicks work and sometimes they don't. I haven't been able to track down any particular set of circumstances that stops clicks being triggered but will report back if I do discover anything.

It could be some element (a line, a piece of text etc) interfering with some regions of your image. Try my suggestion from above.
