Ah yes! I got confused between the usage. Tried out using global and that works perfectly as expected.

Thanks for your help! :D

Hi,

I am a relatively new user of the Bangle.js. I was playing around with the button and touch functionality of the watch in the emulator.
I am trying to declare a global variable inside of a function. I am aware that the way to do this in JavaScript is to prepend the variable declaration with the word 'window', like below:
window.a = 'abc';

When I try to do the same inside my code, it is giving me an "Uncaught ReferenceError: "window" is not defined" error message.

Am I missing something here? I have uploaded my code snippet for reference.

// Load fonts
require("Font7x11Numeric7Seg").add(Graphics);
var IOString = "No Input";
function draw() {
  var d = new Date(), h = d.getHours(), m =
  d.getMinutes();
  var time = (" "+h).substr(-2) + ":" + ("0"+m).substr(-2);
  g.clear();
  g.setFont("7x11Numeric7Seg",4);
  g.setFontAlign(1,1); // align right bottom
  g.drawString(time, 160, 140, true /*clear background*/);
  g.setFont("7x11Numeric7Seg",2);
  g.drawString(("0"+d.getSeconds()).substr(-2), 190, 140, true);
  g.setFont("6x8");
  g.drawString(IOString, 70, 185, true); // draw the input
  window.a = 'abc';
}

var secondInterval = setInterval(draw, 100);
setWatch(() => {
  IOString = "Button 1";
}, BTN1, {repeat: true});
setWatch(() => {
  IOString = "Button 2";
}, BTN2, {repeat: true, edge: "falling"});
setWatch(() => {
  IOString = "Button 3";
}, BTN3, {repeat: true});
Bangle.on('swipe', (sDir) => {
  if (sDir==1) {
    window.secondInterval = setInterval(draw, 100);
    IOString = "Swipe left";
  } else {
    IOString = "Swipe right";
    clearInterval(secondInterval);
    g.clear();
    g.drawString(IOString, 120, 120);
  }
});
Bangle.on('touch', (sDir) => {
  if (sDir==1) {
    IOString = "Touch left";
  } else {
    IOString = "Touch right";
  }
});

I would like to set my secondInterval variable to be a global one, so that it can be cleared from outside the function where it is defined.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
