WatchFace: keep currentLocation

I made a WatchFace for my Fenix 6. I use Activity.getActivityInfo().currentLocation to get the position. This works. But when I press the Up-Menu button and go back, the position is lost. How can I handle this? I do not want to get a new position every time I enter my WatchFace.

Thank you
Marco

When you get a valid (non-null) location use Application.Storage to save it. When you get a null location, use what you have in Apoplication.Storage.

Depending on what you're doing, you may also want to save the data you get from the background process if you use one in the same way, so if you move to a widget and back, you have the data right away and don't need to wait until the next time the background runs.
