[SOLVED] Help with settings update... and onSettingsChanged()

Where did you put the Var refreshsettings ?

It is not use to put refreshsettings == true

Just put if(refreshsettings) 

If I understand your code, 

In if(refreshsettings) {  }

You put for exemple 

Var txtcolor=gfx.setcolor blabla ?

If yes, it cannot work because if refreshsettings =false, the Var TxtColor wont be initialisé, unless you put it outside. 

onSettingsChanged() in your AppBase, not in the view.  So same class as onStart() and onStop().

class OWMdfApp extends Application.AppBase {

    function initialize() {
        AppBase.initialize();
    }
    
    function onSettingsChanged() {
    	MySettings.load();
    	Ui.requestUpdate();
    }    

    // onStart() is called on application start up
    function onStart(state) {
    }

    // onStop() is called when your application is exiting
    function onStop(state) {
    }
}

Ooooh... Ok...

So I can load my settings on start too, as the only moment these will init/change is at start and on change, correct?

(A bunch of things left out of AppBase for clarity)

Acutally I did it in initialize for the view so I thought it was right to use onSettingsChanged() in the view too... but your way is cleaner and more logical...

Here is what I'm working on... (Changing settings doesn't work, it works if you exit, start the watch :))

thanks for the help ...

It works... and I learned a lot on AppBase... Thanks jim_m_58

Thanks Jim...

Hi jim_m_58, how did you create MySettings.load() in the view file? Where is this function created, and where are your settings loaded (i.e., a separate variable for each setting)? I created a separate Util.mc file, and in this file, under class Util, I have a function getMySettings() which creates a class MySettings which stores the loaded settings. However, when I call this function in onSettingsChanged(), the settings are not loaded in the view file. I'm not sure how to assign the newly loaded settings to the right variable.
