I need help with programming. I found that you can use certain Java commands in RobotC. So I thought that I could use the Switch command which worked for some things but I have no idea how to make it work for the buttons in the TeleOp phrase.

The syntax for the Switch command is

    switch (variable)
    {
       case condition:
         action
         break;
       case condition2:
         action
         break;
       default:
         action
       break;
    }

or Just watch this YouTube video for more detail on the syntax.

This is my proof of concept code for Java in RobotC. It is supposed to display what button is being pressed on the NXT screen. Since this was only a proof of concept, only wrote code for Buttons 1-4 on Game controller #1(Logitech Dual action). The purpose of using the Switch command was to shorten up the code and make it less massive instead of using an IF and ELSE command for every button that will be used.

#pragma config(Motor,  mtr_S1_C1_2,     Lift,          tmotorNormal, openLoop)
#pragma config(Motor,  mtr_S1_C2_1,     DriveL,        tmotorNormal, openLoop, reversed)

void initializeRobot()

  return;
}

task main()
{
  initializeRobot();

  waitForStart();   // wait for start of tele-op phase
  
  int buttons = joystick.joy1_Buttons; // shortens the joystick.joy1_Buttons variable
  
  while(1)
  {
    getJoystickSettings(joystick); //Updates controls
    switch (buttons)
    {
      case 1:  // checks if button 1 on Joy 1 is being pressed down
        nxtDisplayCenteredTextLine(2, "Button : %d", 1);  // Display "Button: 1"
        break;
      case 2:  // checks if button 2 on Joy 1 is being pressed down
        nxtDisplayCenteredTextLine(2, "Button : %d", 2);  // Display "Button: 2"
        break;
      case 3:  // checks if button 3 on Joy 1 is being pressed down
        nxtDisplayCenteredTextLine(2, "Button : %d", 3);  // Display "Button: 3"
        break;
      case 4:  // checks if button 4 on Joy 1 is being pressed down
        nxtDisplayCenteredTextLine(2, "Button : %d", 4);  // Display "Button: 4"
        break;
      default: // if nothing is being pressed
        nxtDisplayCenteredTextLine(2, "Button : %d",  );  // Display "Button:  "
      break;
    }
  }
}
