Hi,
I have the following feedback on my widget:
"No longer works with software update v5.0. Site name in settings gets deleted continually requiring you re-enter it everytime you use the widget on fenix 3"
What the widget does is it goes and gets a json feed from the user's personal website. The sitename is set using a menu item and a textpicker for watches like the Fenix, or a hardcoded menu for us poor souls with a Vivoactive.
The widget then uses getJsonRequest to receive some data which it then displays. I am struggling to debug it and find out what the real issue is because:
1. I can't update my watch to the latest firmware because Garmin Express won't install.
2. I can't test the widget in the simulator on version 1.2.1 because getJsonRequest doesn't work.
3. I don't have a Fenix 3 (can I have a free one, please)
4. It seems to work OK in v1.2.0 and v1.1.4
I set the properties in a couple of ways in my code, but I don't use the settings function which seems like it might be coming with v1.2.x
I first set them if they are null when my app initialises:
// if the hostdomain or sitename properties are null set them to a default
if (apprun.getProperty("hostdomain") == null) {
setProperty("hostdomain", ".mydomainname.net");
}
if (apprun.getProperty("sitename") == null) {
setProperty("sitename", "mysitename");
}
I use the setProperty function to set them when the user does the right things in the menus as well.
The way the app behaves is that it concatenates the sitename and domain and then makes the json call.
When you exit the widget the properties persist until the next time you use it. Which means that it remembers your website.
Has something changed with property setting that means it now forgets or have I missed something else?
