button.isPressed(); seems to stay latched.

[Fishbone69]

Hi. I am wiring a GUI for a digital watch/wearable. I am using the Button2 library and the isPressed() method to determine when selections are made. Perhaps my understanding of the the method is incorrect. I assume if I have a button e.g. buttonBack and I use
if (buttonBack.isPressed()){ insert code }

this will only be executed if the button is currently being pressed. What I am finding is that this seems to stay "latched" on many occasions and results in buttonBack.isPressed() evaluating to a value of 1 even if the button is not being pressed. I have played around with the debounce times and do not believe it is noise. I will include the loop portion of my code and delete some of the lines that are not relevant so you have an idea of what I am doing.
`void loop() {

switch (mode){
case 0 :

if (oldMode!=mode){
int numMenuItems = 4;
buttonUp.setClickHandler([scrollDirection, numMenuItems, bitmaps1=bitmaps1, menuLabels1=menuLabels1](Button2 &btn){
scrollMenu(RIGHT, numMenuItems, bitmaps, menuLabels,btn);
});
buttonUp.setLongClickDetectedHandler([scrollDirection, numMenuItems, bitmaps1=bitmaps1, menuLabels1=menuLabels1](Button2 &btn){
scrollMenu(RIGHT, numMenuItems, bitmaps, menuLabels,btn);
});
buttonUp.setLongClickDetectedRetriggerable(1);
buttonDown.setClickHandler([scrollDirection, numMenuItems, bitmaps1=bitmaps1, menuLabels1=menuLabels1](Button2 &btn){
scrollMenu(LEFT, numMenuItems, bitmaps, menuLabels,btn);
});
buttonDown.setLongClickDetectedHandler([scrollDirection, numMenuItems, bitmaps1=bitmaps1, menuLabels1=menuLabels1](Button2 &btn){
scrollMenu(LEFT, numMenuItems, bitmaps, menuLabels,btn);
});
buttonDown.setLongClickDetectedRetriggerable(1);
currentMenuSelection=0;

}
if (buttonBack.isPressed()){
mode=1;
oldMode=0;
break;
}
if (buttonEnter.isPressed()){
mode=currentMenuSelection+2;
break;
}

oldMode=mode;
loopbuttons();
break;

case 1:
if (buttonUp.isPressed()|buttonDown.isPressed()){
mode=0;
oldMode=1;
break;
}
printScreen();
loopbuttons();
break;

case 2: //settings
if (oldMode!=mode){

 }

if (buttonBack.isPressed()){
mode=0;
oldMode=1;
break;
}
oldMode=mode;
loopbuttons();
break;

case 3: //Alarm
if (oldMode!=mode){
}
if (buttonBack.isPressed()){
mode=0;
oldMode=1;
break;
}
oldMode=mode;
loopbuttons();
break;

case 4: //Stopwatch
if (oldMode!=mode){
}
if (buttonBack.isPressed()){
mode=0;
oldMode=1;
break;
}
oldMode=mode;
loopbuttons();
break;

case 5: //Flashlight
if (oldMode!=mode){
}
if (buttonBack.isPressed()){
mode=0;
oldMode=1;
break;
}
oldMode=mode;
loopbuttons();
break;
}

}

one thing of interest is that the code may encounter the ' if (buttonBack.isPressed()){' multiple times prior to seeing loopbuttons(); which is simply the following:
'void loopbuttons(){
buttonUp.loop();buttonEnter.loop();buttonDown.loop();buttonBack.loop();
if (alarmFlag==1){
alarmRing();
}
if ((millis()-lastButtonPressedTime)>(buttonInactiveSleepTime*1000)){
deepSleep(dummyButton);
}
}'
At first I thought this was the issue, but even If I add loopbuttons(); at various locations, it still doesn't seem to work. I can always use a button clickHandler, but that is a bunch more code than simply using isPressed();

Hey, isPressed() is only true during the fact. Without spending too much time reading your code wasPressed() might be the function that you are looking for.
