[ElVasquito]

Hello, I am trying to run the Inline Keyboard example, and this is the Serial output:

How to debug this?

[ElVasquito]

I checked a bit more, and the crash occurs at function CTBotInlineKeyboard::addButton() in CTBotInlineKeyboard.cpp At line 47, here: button["callback_data"] = command; Any clues?

Hello ElVasquito, very weird behavior, i checked it! Try downgrading the library version (1.3.1) while I'm looking for the bug. Thanks for the issue notification.

Hello ElVasquito, I found the bug and now in the master branch there is a version that fix it: please check it and let me know. Soon a new release.

Yes, it works now!!! Thank you very much, Stefano!!!!! Although I don't know what changed these days because the buttons were previously showing under the reply bar, and now they do on the chat itself... Also happens on the buttons of the botFather... Oh well, maybe Telegram changed that just recently, or I am missing something... If it's no much trouble for you, can you tell me how can I add the optional request_contact flag to a button? And also one more little question: the replies from the library are taking 8-15 seconds each, and the botFather replies instantly, is this due to the limited speed of the ESP8266? I tried overclocking to 160MHz but I saw no improvement, on what depends? TIA

Ok, been experimenting a bit more, and I will answer my own questions. The keyboard I was looking for was just "keyboard" and not "inline_keyboard", so what I did (correct me if I'm wrong) was duplicating CTBotInlineKeyboard.cpp as CTBotKeyboard.cpp, and renaming all references of CTBotInlineKeyboard to CTBotKeyboard on it, and on initialize() I just changed "inline_keyboard" to plain "keyboard". The addButton function ended up like this: ` bool CTBotKeyboard::addButton(String text, bool request_contact) { JsonObject& button = m_buttons->createNestedObject(); text = URLEncodeMessage(text); button["text"] = text; button["request_contact"] = request_contact;

if (m_isRowEmpty)
    m_isRowEmpty = false;
return(true);

} ` So now I got a working keyboard underneath the reply bar, and I can request_contact through it. Awesome! I'm pretty sure there should be a "cleaner" way of doing this instead of duplicating everything, but oh well, it works :) So the only question remaining is the one about the delay in the replies, can it get a little better somehow?

Hello ElVasquito, very good work! I'm thinking on how integrate the others keyboards in order to get those functionalities (without duplicate classes). BTW, in the master branch I fixed the delay ;-) Cheers,

Stefano

OH MY, Stefano!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You got it down to 4 seconds for most replies!!!!!!! 7 in the worst case, rarely!! And removing the delay(500) at the end even 3 secs!!!! YOU DID SOME MAGIC THERE!!! Although I fear of being banned from Telegram by polling updates continually 24/7 without the delay. An idea would be to poll every 10 seconds and once a message is received, remove the delay for like a minute, until no new messages are received ;) Awesome work, pal!! Keep it up!!! If things get better down here, I will definitely make a donation in the near future to support you!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
