Static Analysis: supports_input_launch=1

Jump to solution

I am getting the following message on the static analysis page:

"Channels are required to support roInput events. Please ensure your manifest includes the supports_input_launch=1 entry and your channel properly handles roInput events."

I have supports_input_launch=1 in the manifest. I also have implemented deep linking, both launch and input types. I still however get the error on the static analyzer page.

Hmm...  I've been adding an "input" task to get around it in my apps.  I forget where I got it, but it's nothing more than these two files in my "components" directory.

inputTask.xml:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<component name="inputTask" extends="Task">
    <interface>
            <field id="inputData" type="assocarray" />
    </interface>

    <script type="text/brightscript" uri="pkg:/components/inputTask.brs" />
</component>

 

 

inputTask.brs:

 

Sub Init()
    m.top.functionName = "ListenInput"
End Sub

Function ListenInput()
    port=createobject("romessageport")
    InputObject=createobject("roInput")
    InputObject.setmessageport(port)

    while true
      msg=port.waitmessage(500)
      if type(msg)="roInputEvent" then
        print "INPUT EVENT!"
        if msg.isInput()
          inputData = msg.getInfo()
          'print inputData'
          for each item in inputData
            print item  +": " inputData[item]
          end for

          ' pass the deeplink to UI
          if inputData.DoesExist("mediaType") and inputData.DoesExist("contentID")
            deeplink = {
                id: inputData.contentID
                type: inputData.mediaType
            }
            print "got input deeplink= "; deeplink
            m.top.inputData = deeplink
          end if
        end if
      end if
    end while
End Function

 

 

Since I've mostly created games, it doesn't really apply to my apps, but I need to get past this requirement nonetheless.

Do you ever create an roInput object and check for an roInputEvent message type in your code?  I think that's what it's looking for.

I have done both and the channel still fails the static analysis.
