How to remove BSP to implement long press and short press on the same button through app_button instead?

[embedded_newbie]

I recently found that BSP doesn't allow you to differentiate between long press and short press on the same button. I also found the posts to implement the long/short press on the same button with app_button on the forums. I am having issues removing all references to bsp and adding the app_button.c. What functions do I have to change/remove to transition to app_button?

I am using SDK 14.2 on nRF52832.

Hey, are you working with the bsp example?

I am using the ble_app_hids_keyboard example. As far as I can see, when I remove it, functions with erase_bonds get messed up. I found alternative ways to implement the app_button on an older SDK, but I want to keep the current implementation.

 It's probably because these functions use the bsp library. Try to modify the functions so that they don't make use of bsp at all.

Hi, so let me be a bit more detailed with my issue. I want to use the buttons for two sets of functions - one for connection, disconnection, erase bonds, whitelist etc (like in the ble_hid_keyboard example) and for the other set I want to integrate media controls with the same button.

The way the example is structured is that there is an advertising_buttons_configure() and a connection_buttons_configure() in bsp_btn_ble.c . The button_event_handler() in my main.c function using app_button I was able to write only for the media keys. I cannot figure out how to integrate advertising mode and connection mode and the code associated with that.

This is what I have so far, I have some more code for button_event_handler which details how my keys work but this isn't compiling in itself. I'm not able to completely disassociate bsp library from the main function which I have attached.

Why are you not able to compile it? I just enabled app_gpiote in sdk_config and it was fine.
