Variable editor tool
This is a tool script to help editing the list of lightning variables.
It lets you modify current variables and/or create new ones.
How to use it:
Launch the script, the list of all current variables and an extra ‘create a variable’ entry will be shown.
Click a variable to see it’s type and value. You can modify it’s value and save it. If you click cancel it will ask to delete it.
If you choose ‘create a variable’ input a name and a value and it will be created.
Note: the variables are set using lightning’s action ‘set a variable’. This means that the value is converted to it’s type by lightning itself, this script doesn’t use the script API calls because they need to specify a type.
For the ‘how does this work?’:
Saves lightning to force it to save the variables into the variables file.
Reads the available variables from the variables file (because there is no way to obtain the variables elsewhere, or at least I don’t know how)
Shows the list of variables to choose, a lot of prompts, etc.
To set/create a value it calls lightning activity ‘set a variable’.
To delete a variable it calls LL.getVariables().edit().setString(name,null).commit();

This is cool TrianguloY it will be helpful for most of the users.

Abdullah Alahdal thanks 🙂
Note: I updated the script with a little improvement, if you already copied it, copy it again.

< ![CDATA[
great
thanks I’ll test it

< ![CDATA[
Working perfectly.You’re a boss

< ![CDATA[
TrianguloY could you add the value of the variable on the list
And possible to have white letters on black background ?
]]>
< ![CDATA[
The first, yes.
The second, no (you will need to specify a custom theme)
]]>
< ![CDATA[
TrianguloY OK
And is it possible to launch the keyboard after chosing a variable ?
Noticed the value is selected but we have to click ,delete the value and type new value
Would be fantastic

< ![CDATA[
Bruno-Isa LAMOUR-ARNOULD done (it was easy). Script updated.
]]>
< ![CDATA[
That second suggestion is not possible.
I’m using lightning built-in dialogs (for easier access)

< ![CDATA[
TrianguloY
OK seen the script updated.Thx

Bruno-Isa LAMOUR-ARNOULD if not, were? 😉 (the answer could be ‘in the wiki’, but I didn’t posted it yet)

Script doesn’t work anymore. Can someone check it and fix?
Is there another way to delete variables created by mistake?
]]>
< ![CDATA[
script working fine for me
what is your issue ?
]]>
< ![CDATA[
I can see the list of variables.
When I tap on any of them the list is only reloading. But if I tap on any with content ‘notag’ then I get error.
What could it be?
BTW, when I tap “show the script” button in error window, then there is a message “unknown or deleted script…” and script doesn’t opening.

That doesn’t seem an error from this script. I could be wrong, but I think that you are using that variable incorrectly on a binding, and so when you update it from the variable editor it reloads and shows the error. Check the bindings where you are using that, and check they are correct (notag is a string? If so you need to set it between ” )
When you click open script it opens nothing because there is no script, that’s a binding.

And to delete a variable, select it, press cancel, and then it will prompt to delete (press ok)
]]>
< ![CDATA[
when I tap on a variable I can see the content and able to change it
]]>
< ![CDATA[
when I tap on a variable there was nothing except list reloading (and an error with “notag”)
But after some modifications in bindings (I guess problem was in “) and rebooting I can see the content and can change it. And even delete it.Now my bindings are
if (‘$calendar_event1_tag’==’today’) {
return 255*(animate(‘$ll_second’)%3);
}
else return 255;
and
if (‘$calendar_event1_tag’==’past’) {
return 0xffff0000;
}
else return 0xffffffff;
But I steel get the similar error after editing (without changing) some variables.
I have
$calendar_event1_tag
$calendar_event1_time
$calendar_event1_title
…
$calendar_event5_tag
$calendar_event5_time
$calendar_event5_title
From 1 to 3 are displayed and tag is using in bindings. But 4 and 5 are not used at all.
All titles are OK
All tags are causing an error
Times from 1 to 3 are causing an error, but 4 and 5 are OK.
It’s strange. But it’s not a script problem.
Script is working great now. Thanks TrianguloY and Bruno-Isa LAMOUR-ARNOULD
