Configure Data Field externally?

PitRunner over 6 years ago

Hello,

Is there a way how to configure Data Field using file stored on the device?

Say I want to provide a list of POIs to a data field, one list today, another (updated) list tomorrow.

Now the only option I see is hard-code configuration data in source code of Data Field.

Any options?

Thanks.

You can use app settings (from a phone or with Garmin Express) in a Data field, just like with any other CIQ app type.

You do not have access to any files on the device from any Connect IQ application type. As Jim said, you can configure settings for the app on the phone, or you can download something from a web server. If you wanted to save the POIs, then you would need to download them and save them into the Apps storage and do all management of the data from within the application.
