I'm stuck in putting together a particular macro/shortcut. This should be dead simple. I'm running SCM 5.5.1.0 on a BB9700 with OS 5.0.0.1014.
I want to automatically set particular profiles at certain times of the day: "normal" in the morning, and "vibrate" at night. Since my BB might be locked this macro/shortcut needs to check if the phone is locked (and unlock it with the right password), and then set the profile.
I set up a cascaded shortcut (seemed the best way to do this). For the "vibrate" shortcut, the cascaded shortcut has the parameter:
UL; PQ
where UL unlocks the phone and PQ sets the profile to vibrate.
UL is defined as:
app name: macro
If0 IsLocked; Then0; Unlock; Delay500; PasswordKeyxyz; NavClick; EndIf0;
PQ is defined as:
app name: profile_selector
parameter: 3
where 3 is the position of vibrate in my profile list.
PQ runs properly when I use it by itself, but it is the combination of UL and PQ as a cascaded shortcut that is not working. For one thing, the unlock macro is not working properly ...the unlock text filed comes up but the password is not put into it. I can probably figure that one out by poking around some more, but the one that has me stumped is that no matter what the parameter for the profile_selector is, when I use the profile_selector in any cascaded shortcut it always goes to the "loud" profile, the second entry in the profile list.
What am I doing wrong? Any pointers gratefully accepted

Display name: profile to normal
App name: Macro
Shortcut keys: PN
Macros:
launch profiles;delay100;
keyn;
enterkey;
Display name: profile to vibrate
App name: Macro
Shortcut keys: PQ
Macros:
launch profiles;delay100;
keyv;
enterkey;
------- macro for unlocking ----------
Display name: unlockme
App name: Macro
Shortcut keys: UL
Macros:
if0 islocked;
then0;
vibrate1;delay20; /*optional*/
unlock;delay300;
keyPASSWORD;
enterkey;
endif0;
--------- macro combinations, one scheduled at morning, one at night ----------
Display name: morning profile
App name: Macro
Shortcut keys: PAM
Macros:
importmacro UL;delay800;
importmacro PN;
Display name: night profile
App name: Macro
Shortcut keys: PPM
Macros:
importmacro UL;delay800;
importmacro PQ;
***********************
Then schedule launch PAM at 6:00 AM (for example) everyday and PPM at 9:00 PM (for example) everyday.
Shortcut keys and display names and can be whatever you want.
Now, at this setting, vijik, is it possible to:
-have a macro called gettime that returns the current time of the device? in whole numbers 559 for 5:59AM, 1200 for 12:00 PM, 1830 for 6:30PM.
-have logical operators and &&", or " || " so that, if gettime>1759&&gettime<559;DOTHAT, just in case the phone happens to be turned off or the macro execution did not happen at the specified time, you still get the result for the wanted timeframe.
It would eliminate a second combination of macro since there would be a comparison for time and then depending on the time it runs either PQ or PN.Last edited by gbsn; 08-15-11 at 10:52 PM.
