How to set the sport mode for a DF?

Hi,guys, here is coming my bother. I have implemented a DF and I found that when I was hiking the cadence is often 0. I asked chatGPT and it told me that the sport mode would affcet the reading of cacence. I have no idea if it is correct. My question is that what the real cause for this issue and how to solve it? And I want to set the sport mode for my DF, but I have no idea how to do. Thanks in advance for your kindly coming reply.

In a data field you should be able to check Activity.getProfile().sport ('ve not tried it and it's only "since 3.2.0"). For some sports, with cadence, you see rotations, while others, you see it based on steps..

For some reason, Hiking seems to be based on rotations, and I account for that in my hiking device apps - I handle cadence differently if I record the activity as a hike vs a walk. It's been that way since CIQ started.

In general, the value you see is also impacted by the speed you are going. If it's slow, you may see 0 often.

Dear Jim, I see there are several default DF in my watch, such as Running , Hiking etc. How these DFs are configured? I did find any methods to set the sport mode. For instance, if I want to implement a DF for hiking what I should do to make it different from a Running DF？

I got it. It could be set while you set a data screen via the watch. I might understand it the DF. It is a general DF against the sport mode you set via the watch. oops.

I got it.Thanks a lot. The DF is just a DF which can be applied to any kinds of sport mode which should be set through the watch or the sim.
