why does Analog face sample run in simulator showing simple centered digital time?

Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi all,

I'm just getting started. I'm on a Mac, have installed Eclipse and the SDK, setup the run configurations, etc. Imported the Analog watch face project, start the simulator for Fenix 3, run the project. But the simulator watch is not showing anything like what I'm reading in the code within Analog.mc. No tick marks, no 12, 3, 6, 9 numbers, no hands. Instead simply a digital time centered in the watch face. It does keep time, so something is running.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

the code assumes a square watchface. if you run it in the simulator but with a "square" device (va, 920, Epix) you'll see the stuff mentioned.

Also, IIRC, there was something odd with the custom font for the digits, and you'll want to switch to something like "FONT_NUMBER_MEDIUM" in the code.

Oh wait! You're seeing the digital time! Your run config is still set for the "new->connectiq project>watchface" you are shown how to create in the manual during set up!

under run>run_configs in eclipse, you first need to select the analog project, then my previous post will make more sense!
