elapsedTime and elapsedDistance return NULL

Former Member over 6 years ago

I am trying to display the elapsedTime and elapsedDistance from Activity.getActivityInfo() object, but I only get NULL. I am able to correctly retrieve the cadence and HR. I am using the simulator (simulate data) to test my code. The timerState is always "0".

You need to also simulate the start of recording, by using the mouse to click on the start button or with Data fields>timers>start.

In your code you do want to handle these things being null, as they will be null on a real devices before recording starts.

TIMER_STATE_OFF = 0
The timer is off. There is not an active recording

Did you ever get this to work? I get the null, even when I start the data field timer as jim suggests

Are you playing back a fit file or simulating data?

Which SDK?

I was trying both and neither was working. I restarted my machine and it's working now. Thanks!
