Newbie watch face question

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi all, I am new to developing in Monkey C and I am trying to build my first watch face. I have followed the tutorial here:
http://blog.aaronboman.com/programming/connectiq/2014/11/11/making-an-analog-watch-face/

I have a 218x218 bitmap created and my code looks like this:
<resources>
<string id="AppName">Calibre-Analog</string>
<bitmap id="background" filename="images/black.png" />

...

extends Ui.WatchFace {

//! Load your resources here
// the BitmapResource for the background image
var background;

function onLayout(dc) {
background = Ui.loadResource(Rez.Drawables.background);
// background is now a BitmapResource instance
setLayout(Rez.Layouts.WatchFace(dc));
...
function onUpdate(dc) {
// Set background image
background = Ui.loadResource(Rez.Drawables.background);
dc.drawBitmap(0, 0, background);

When I build and run a configuration in the simulator for a round face watch it still just shows the analog sample (round face with digital time in the center). The watch face refuses to load. I am stumped. Am I missing something here that is totally obvious?

Thanks,

Roy

Sounds like you need to change your run config to be your project - sounds like you still have it set for project you set up when installing everything per the manual.

run>run Configurations

Thanks for the reply, I've double-checked the run config and it is for this project on Fenix 3. In fact I deleted the run config and created a new one and it still shows the same watch face as the analog sample

Did you change not only the device but also the project name in the run config?

I did just now. Deleted the run config, created a new one named something different. loaded the project file and device as Fenix 3...still no luck. I must have something wrong in my build environment or simulator setup.

solved

Thanks for all the replies. I made a true newbie mistake...I was missing the layout tags in my resource.xml :):D

same issue

Hi,

Can you be explicit about what you added in your resource.xml file ?

Thanks
