Question Types

Every question is a block in the Dialog Components category, and a function in Lua. This page shows what each one looks like to the user and what your macro gets back.

text​

A line of text for the user to read, such as a short instruction. It has no answer.

Lua: TextView(text)

checkbox​

A box the user ticks. The answer is true when it is ticked.

Lua: CheckBox(id, text, defaultChecked)

text input​

A field the user types in. The answer is the text, which can be empty.

Lua: EditText(id, hint, defaultText)

number input​

A field that only takes a number. The answer is a number. Tick limit to keep it between two values; the user sees the range under the field, and OK waits for a number in it.

Lua: NumberInput(id, hint, default)

slider​

The user slides to a number between from and to. The answer is a number. step makes the slider move in steps; 0 slides freely.

Lua: Slider(id, text, min, max, default)

options​

Choices shown as round buttons; the user picks one. Put option blocks inside. The answer is the id of the chosen option, not its text.

Lua: RadioGroup(id, defaultOptionId) with RadioButton(id, text)

The same as options, shown as a dropdown. Better for long lists. The answer is the id of the chosen option.

A dropdown in a dialog

Lua: RadioGroup:showAsDropdown(label)

tap picker, tap list picker, touch recorder​

The user shows the macro something on their own screen: one spot, several spots in order, or a whole routine. See Pick on the User's Screen.

Questions that must be answered​

A question without an answer shows Not set yet in red, and OK waits until the user answers it. These must be answered:

  • number input: it can't be left empty, and with limit the number must be in range
  • tap picker and touch recorder without a default
  • tap list picker

In Lua, setRequired(false) makes one of them optional.

Help under a question​

In Lua, setHelp(text) adds a small line of help under any question, such as "Wait between actions".
