Terminal clear

[mohan_sundaram]

This terminal thingy is a beauty and a great mechanism for interacting with the device remotely. Thanks @Pavel @vshymanskyy @Dmitriy.

If the app is on and the device reboots, there seems to be no way to clear/initialise the terminal screen/buffer in the app. Any pointers here?

That’s right, you need to do it with code.

Just do blynk.virtualWrite(vPin, “\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n”): ? I read somewhere that the widget has the last 25 lines. So, should we gives 25 new lines to clear it?

[Costas]

Depends why you are clearing it.

I normally just clear visible windows, which varies a little based on phone screen res.

You use the magnifying glass at your top right for a possible solution

How do I clear the terminal screen on Android app?

According to the Widget terminal-docs, 25 blank lines should do the trick: for (int i = 0; i <= 24; i++) { terminal.println(""); // "clear screen" in app. } terminal.flush();

Please DO NOT tag Blynk Team. We monitor EVERY topic.

It creates irritation and hurts more than helps.

Thanks. I did search using brother Google but not the magnifying glass here. Thought Big Brother would catch everything under the sun.
