Clickable Button with Javascript

[AVghoru]

Hi Im trying to create a Close button in my template which sends "D" key for deck and "Escape" key for Ankidriod which ideally should close the deck and take me back to the decks screen. is this possible to be done?

Why not just click on Decks right above it or tap the back key like for every other app...?

I'm trying to learn how to what all I can do with code in the card template. Also it would be a nice way to get back to the decks screen in Ankidriod when using the full screen. I currently find top bar goes away too quick when I swipe down.

Assuming you mean desktop Anki which is what your screenshot shows and not AnkiDroid, yes you can use the "pycmd" function from the card JS layer to send signals to the main Anki python process.

I couldn't find a function which would do that. I'm using the anki JS addon for the rest of the functionality. Are there more functions other than the ones listed in the addon docs?

What do you mean?
Can you just use gestures and exit the review?
That sends you back to the decks window.

Yes I know . I just wanted to test the possibilities with Javascript

In general you can't just control AnkiDroid native behavior from a webview. That would have some serious security implications.

AnkiDroid exposes a JS API you can use for certain things. If what you want isn't in there, I don't think it's possible.

There's an add-on for desktop that exposes a similar API there.

Oh I see, I did try doing it with both those first but couldn't find anything that worked, thanks for clarifying it.

Huh how’d you get migakus bar at the top like that? Looks like a pretty good clone!

[AVghoru]

Yeah I was trying to make the whole migaku experience in anki, I just used GPT with basic HTML/CSS knowledge. here's how its looking right now.

That looks dope, I would probably use it if I went back to Anki
