I'm want to add functionality to my vivoactive so that it performs certain actions when I hit checkpoints in my runs. I know that I can't edit the default Run app and that developing an activity is pretty much the only way to make this happen. However, I don't want to have to build an entire app from the ground up. Does the Connect IQ OS require you to re-code everything in your new activity or can you piggyback/inherit from what's already provided?

It's "roll your own" for most things - like even marking laps, pausing, saving/discarding an activity, and displaying data. But on the plus side, you can display the data that fits your app.
