Nothing happens when clicking on the icon about polybar-kdeconnect

[appcreatorguy]

Ok, i was having the same issue and found that due to my device name in KDE Connect having single quotes in it, the name getting passed to the script to bring up the rofi menu was being escaped, causing an error.
Changing the device name in KDE Connect settings to remove the single quotes fixed this for me

It should only show up if the device is connected. What is the color of the icon you are clicking?

Oh, I see, so I need to add my devices using kdeconnect-cli first I suppose. There is probably an issue with my phone because it is not listed when I run kdeconnect-cli -l on the computer. I'll report back here if the click action works when this other issue is fixed.

I changed the colours in your script but the icon shown is the icon corresponding to no device connected, indeed.

An unpaired device is shown in Yellow Color (default colours). You can pair using that icon as well. A device has two boolean values associated with it, isReachable and isTrusted. An unpaired device will have isReachable = true and isTrusted = false.

Hi I am having a similar issue here, and in my case, the device is connected. I have black icons shaped as circle square and triangle when device is paired and not reachable, red colored icons when the device is paired and reachable. events from kdeconnect app is working on either direction, but unfortunately no rofi menu as experienced by the OP. AM i doing something wrong?

My Polybar-kdeconnect config:

[module/kdeconnect]
type = custom/script
exec = "~/.config/polybar/scripts/kdeconnect/polybar-kdeconnect.sh -d"
tail = true

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong here. Please let me know if you need any other information.

What happens when you execute the following in terminal:

rofi -sep "|" -dmenu -i -p DEMO -location 0 <<< "Row1|Row2"

rofi -sep "|" -dmenu -i -p DEMO -location 0 <<< "Row1|Row2"

I get the rofi demo menu with Row1 and Row2

Additionally i get grey icons once in a while when the device is paired and reachable, verified when i check with kdeconnect-cli -l, i get

- Device name: Device ID (paired and reachable)
1 device found

This is the same result i get when i have red icons.

Not sure why different colors for the same state. May be something else is wrong with my set up?

Update: okay, going through the script, i can see it indicates the battery level, which is 79% now. But still no menu or mobile icons though.

[haideralipunjabi]

Yeah, the colours change with the battery level of the device. But I still can't figure out why clicking isn't working for you

[octal-illumination]

Okay cool. I will try to play around and if i find something, I will post here, thanks

I'm having the same issue. Clicking does nothing. Icon is white, and kdeconnect-cli -l shows the device as paired and reachable. rofi -sep "|" -dmenu -i -p DEMO -location 0 <<< "Row1|Row2 brings up the rofi demo menu.

Has anyone found a solution?

Have the same problem, but i found an issue: script does not assign properly DEV_ID and DEV_NAME, so you have to manually put it inside script or into your polybar config. So i solved that with adding that string in script: DEV_ID="$(kdeconnect-cli -a --id-only)"
