Seconds value are not displaying properly

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi,

I have string in my watch face which will display seconds value.
When i test this in Simulator its working fine (value is getting updated). However when its in Watch sometime its paused and will update after sometime.

Can you please help me here?

Watch faces go into low power mode, and when this happens the onUpdate() function is no longer called every second (usually once a minute). It is up to you as the developer to handle transitions to (and from) low-power mode and behave accordingly.

Typically, a watch face would be coded to stop displaying the seconds when the watch enters low-power mode.

See "onEnterSleep()" and OnExitSleep() in your code, as that's how to find out if it's 1sec (show sec) or one min (no seconds) updates

For example:

function onExitSleep() {

    	showSeconds=true;

    	Ui.requestUpdate();

    }

The Ui.requestUpdate() should be in both onEnter.. and onExit.., as that means the watchface will update as soon as there is a change in "sleep" mode....
