Display Field crashed on my watch - how to find more information?

Hi,

I was testing my display field on my watch, and it displayed a Connect IQ icon with an exclamation mark. I'm assuming it crashed... How can I get information about the error?

I tested the project on the simulator, using a .FIT file from a previous race, and it worked perfectly...

Thanks,
JF

There will be a CIQ_LOG.txt file located in the Garmin\Apps\Logs directory on the watch that should have some useful information in it.

One thing you may want to check is if you're using data from activity info, it may initially be a null,

so you want to do something like:

if(actInfo.elapsedDistance!=null) {
//use the data
}

You won't see the "null" case in the simulator, but you can on real devices.

from the SDK Documentation:
"A class containing information about the current activity. The fields in this class may return null so you should null check a value before using it."
