Focusable Stage Example

This example is a libGDX demo that shows the Focusable Stage in action

Usage

1. Copy the FocusableStage file into your project and import it

2. Replace Stage with FocusableStage:

   Stage stage = new Stage(viewport); --> FocusableStage stage = new FocusableStage(viewport);

3. Add all Actors that you wish to have focus capabilities, similar to how you would add Actors into a Table:

   stage.addFocusableActor(new TextButton("button 1", skin), 3); // 3 signifies the colspan of the Actor; default is 1 if you omit it
   stage.addFocusableActor(new TextButton("button 2", skin));    // Uses 1 colspan because the second argument was omitted
   stage.row(); // Used to signify the end of a row just like `Table`s
   

4. Optionally, use setFocusedActor to focus a particular Actor:

   stage.setFocusedActor(textbutton3);
   

Supported keyboard inputs

• TAB for focusing the next Actor
• SHIFT + TAB for focusing the previous Actor
• LEFT for focusing the previous Actor
• RIGHT for focusing the next Actor
• UP for focusing the above Actor
• DOWN for focusing the below Actor
• Enter or Space for pressing the currently focused Actor

provided the currently focused actor is not busy
