GitHub Sample: Disc Golf IQ

Former Member over 10 years ago

We finally got everything setup on GitHub so we could push our disc golf sample app. The companion app allows you to create a disc golf course and send it to your watch. Then using the Connect IQ app you can score a round and send it back to your phone. Instead of going into full details here I'll just point you to the relevant webpages.

Connect IQ App Store
Google Play Store
GitHub repository

We encourage any developers to take a look through the code on GitHub. If there are pieces you'd like to pull down and use you're welcome to so long as you follow the Apache license. If you've got improvements you'd like to contribute we'd love to see some pull requests created (any iOS developers out there? ;)).

One thing I'd like to note: The reason this is posted to the general Connect IQ forum instead of the showcase is that the whole point of the exercise is to get better content in the hands of our developers. We did submit both the Connect IQ and Android app to their respective stores but that was just to make it easier for developers to download and play around with them.

Great!
Thank you a lot :)
I´ll take a deeper look into the code, to see how you are handling the different views. And I´m sure, I´ll get some hints how to use Monkey C properly!
(As a .Net, Arduino & ERP developer it has not been clear all the time, how to get things done right on MonkeyC)

Thank you very much for this example. A lot to learn from. Given the somewhat limited depth of the SDK documentation, this is highly welcome!

I have several questions:

1) Why disc golf and what is the difference to conventional golf?

2) Where is the iOS counterpart App?

3) Is it possible to use the same Smartphone App with more than one Connect IQ App? Or, more concrete, could I extend my Golf_SC app such that it works with your Smartphone counterpart?

1) Why disc golf and what is the difference to conventional golf?

I'd heard a few people mention they'd enjoy having a disc golf app here at Garmin. Seeing as how we already have great ways to score rounds of traditional golf this seemed like a great idea. Other than the obvious differences they're pretty similar. If you're interested in learning more about disc golf this webpage has some good info. If you're into the general "golf" idea you might also like footgolf ;).

2) Where is the iOS counterpart App?

There isn't one. Like I said before, the whole point of this exercise was to get more detailed examples into the hands of developers. It is by no means a complete, end-to-end product. The Android app itself can be loosely considered an "app". There's really almost no logic in it. We were more focused on the Connect IQ app than the companion app.

3) Is it possible to use the same Smartphone App with more than one Connect IQ App? Or, more concrete, could I extend my Golf_SC app such that it works with your Smartphone counterpart?

Technically you could. If you read up on the Comm stuff you'll see that messages are sent via the communications library using the app UUID. If you wanted an app to communicate with more than one Connect IQ app you would have to include a way to select the UUID to send messages to. You could take the companion app code on GitHub and change the UUID messages are sent to so it matches you app's UUID.

fantastic !, I 'm discgolf player and I'm happy to find this apps... do you think it will be also available for iOS ?

do you think it will be also available for iOS ?

No. If a developer wants to write an iOS equivalent app which uses the Connect IQ app's code from GitHub they sure could. :)

Android app crashed

The anrdoid app crashed when I clicked 'Select a Device' button in 'Setup Players' page:

I am running Android 6.0.1 on Sony Z3 and have Garmin Connect Mobile installed.

Any idea?

Yes. I believe this thread may be helpful.

Yes. I believe this thread may be helpful.

Thank you, Travis! That looks like the exact issue I have.
I am pretty new to this Garmin SDK thing. Thank you so much for the help!
