Opening the menu on Android/Apple Devices Via Touch Input

[crimsonnight]

Nothing seems to be happening at all with the current code

So looks like the screen is not being shown for some reason

Has anyone been able to accomplish opening the menu via touch controls on their device?

Has anyone been able to accomplish opening the menu via touch controls on their device?

It works for me, but I notice I have to press anything at least once first, then after that alternate clicks work. Maybe a bug?

An easy workaround on mobiles, is to include a screen that shows before the main menu with a single button along the lines of 'touch to start'
You can probably do this by including the label 'before_main_menu', which you would include a call to a screen that has a single button, the action of which hides the screen.

First check the overlay is actually there...

Code: Select all

screen android_overlay():
    button:
        background Solid('#5D99') # <--- this will paint everything semi transparent green
        alternate ShowMenu( 'save' )

init python:
    config.overlay_screens.append( "android_overlay" ) # <--- ignoring the test for now

If/when that works, try adding the overlay test ( the -- if renpy.variant( [ "touch", "android" ] ): -- bit )
If the test is preventing it from showing, try tweaking the conditions

Interesting, it's only appearing at the top of the screen for some reason: https://puu.sh/za8Hk/8b34e0f9f9.jpg

Maybe the fact that I'm using other overlays is screwing things up somewhere? Maybe forcing this overlay to the front will solve it?
