The new Roku scenegraph developer extensions seem pretty useful. I have two SGDEX views that are useful to me. However I need to combine them and I do not see any documentation on how to do it.

The Custom+Scene example is what I am working off of. Simply I would add to add the searchView feature to this script.

I have tried adding SearchView as a component. However the searchview example is it's own working page, I would like to add it as a node. I have tried adding it as an overhang, and also tried adding it as a button on the homepage. I have been unsuccessful with both.

Please see scenegraph developer extensions.

I simply need to add the SearchView feature to the Custom+Scene example in SGDEX. Please provide example of how to do this if you are familiar. Thanks.

Looks like what we wanted to achieve is open the searchView from the mainscene of the custom+screen example.

I updated the feed.json file of the project and add a new object after the "series" object.

 ...
 ...
 "search": [
        {
            "id": "search",
            "title": "Search",
            "releaseDate": "2015-06-11",
            "shortDescription": "Will open search view.",
            "thumbnail": "http://level2creative.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/image-search-ss-1920-800x450.gif",
            "genres": [
                "search"
            ],
            "tags": [
                "search"
            ],
            "content": {
                "dateAdded": "2015-06-11T14:14:54.431Z",
                "captions": [],
                "videos": [
                    {
                        "url": "http://roku.content.video.llnw.net/smedia/59021fabe3b645968e382ac726cd6c7b/Gb/siCt-V7LOSU08W_Ve1ByJY5N9emKZeXZvnrH2Yb9c/117_segment_2_twitch__nw_060515.mp4",
                        "quality": "HD",
                        "videoType": "MP4"
                    }
                ],
                "duration": 53
            }
        }
    ]

On your GridHandler.brs, change the ParseJsonToNodeArray function, lets change the if condition of the line 27, so it will look like this:

if fieldInJsonAA = "movies" or fieldInJsonAA = "series" or fieldInJsonAA = "search"

Then, on your mainscene.brs, go to the method "OnGridItemSelected", change it for something like this:

rowContent = grid.content.GetChild(selectedIndex[0])
if rowContent.title = "search"
    searchView = CreateObject("roSGNode", "SearchView")
    searchView.hintText = "Search for something"
    m.top.ComponentController.CallFunc("show", {
        view: searchView
    })
else
    detailsView = ShowDetailsView(rowContent, selectedIndex[1])
    detailsView.ObserveField("wasClosed", "OnDetailsWasClosed")
end if

That should open the searchView and if you press back that should close the searchView and take the user back to the gridView.

  • Hey bro, Sry again same thing I know the Show function used for roSGScreen But in main.brs I call already now I created one file with wisepanel scene successfully then create another combine file extend with group and component is keyboarddialog. Now I'm stay Wisepanel then any key press to go keyboarddialog. I try to above thing But Gave a Error. How to call show function in init or any else in a file. – Nikunj Chaklasiya Aug 07 '19 at 07:46
  • Thanks for the reply. It appears in your example you have added Custom view as a Component and SearvhView as a main page. I need to do the opposite. The the custom+view and add SearchView as a component. I do not need them both on the same page at the same time. Just a link on the homepage that will take me to the SearchView. – MarlonC Aug 07 '19 at 18:16
  • @MarlonC Just updated the response. If I understood the question properly, you want to open the searchView from the gridView, if that's the case just follow the update section of my answer. – Roger Ramirez Aug 08 '19 at 00:25
  • Hi @NikunjChaklasiya, no problem, maybe you can open another question and give a little more context so I can help you, I would like to see what you've tried so far. – Roger Ramirez Aug 08 '19 at 00:31
  • Thanks Roger. Looks like that's what I need. Let me give it a try and see if I can get this to work. – MarlonC Aug 08 '19 at 03:07
  • Awesome! you're welcome, you probably don't want to compare against the rowcontent.title, but for testing purposes, it should work. @MarlonC – Roger Ramirez Aug 08 '19 at 04:29
  • @RogerRamirez I used 4 way as to mention in question. But I simply to say In the first screen display successfully I write a Logic in the main screen. the First Screen used Two file. PanelSet.brs and PanelSet.XML. here the component name is WisePanel. Now I write a Logic for a key event Function to open a new screen. I used second file name is keyboarddialog.XML. Here I used both code brs and xml only single file here component name is keyboarddialog and extends with Group. I write a Logic for a panelSet.brs file to keyevent but It error Give in ComponentController Line. – Nikunj Chaklasiya Aug 08 '19 at 04:46
  • Here the Logic I apply https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57374718/how-to-access-another-file-label-using-a-brightscript – Nikunj Chaklasiya Aug 08 '19 at 04:54
  • @RogerRamirez it is coming along nicely. Question. Is there a way to order the Category? As of right now, it automatically puts the Search on Top. – MarlonC Aug 09 '19 at 21:44
