TouchGFX: I cannot get any data to appear on the display

[amigafan]

I'm displaying weather data in TouchGFX. The weather data is in JSON format and comes from main.c and must be copied over to Model.cpp which decodes the weather data. To then be displayed using Screen1View.cpp. But I cannot get any data to appear on the display. It is as if Temperature and Humidity are not written to float temperature and int humidity in Model.hpp. Any help is appreciated.

Part of main.c:

	/* USER CODE BEGIN 2 */
	const char *json_data = "{\"temperature\": 25.0, \"humidity\": 60}";
	 processJsonData(json_data);
	/* USER CODE END 2 */

Model.cpp

#include <gui/model/Model.hpp>
#include <gui/model/ModelListener.hpp>
#include "cJSON.h"

Model::Model() : modelListener(nullptr), temperature(0), humidity(0) {}

// The static method to process JSON data (called from C)
extern "C" void processJsonData(const char *json_str) {
	// Use the singleton instance of Model
	Model::getInstance().processJsonData(json_str);
}

void Model::processJsonData(const char *json_str) {
	// Parse JSON using cJSON
	cJSON *json = cJSON_Parse(json_str);
	if (json == NULL) {
		return;  // Handle error if parsing fails
	}

	// Extract temperature and humidity from the JSON object
	cJSON *temp = cJSON_GetObjectItem(json, "temperature");
	cJSON *hum = cJSON_GetObjectItem(json, "humidity");

	if (cJSON_IsNumber(temp)) {
		setTemperature(temp->valuedouble); // Update temperature
	}

	if (cJSON_IsNumber(hum)) {
		setHumidity(hum->valueint);  // Update humidity
	}

	cJSON_Delete(json);  // Free the JSON object
}

void Model::tick() {
	if (modelListener != nullptr) {
		modelListener->updateWeatherUI(getTemperature(), 0, 0, getHumidity(), 0, 0);  // Notify listener
	}
}

What am I doing wrong?

Hello @amigafan ,

Please kindly don't use too short titles for threads. "TouchGFX" as title doesn't mean anything. The tiltle needs to be short and concise.

Thank you for inderstanding.
