News for Widget Glances!

Hi again,

I refactored the architecture of my widget so that code could be reused in glance. Note that this widget was near the memory limit of some devices (60 kB). For those devices which doesn't support glance I inherit an empty code glance view. But for those which supports glance I inherited a nice glance view which uses above mentioned architecture. Those devices which supports glance have all a memory limit of 1019,6 kB (rather than 60 kB). At least the simulator window tells me that which means the devices.xml says that. After my optimization the glance view was shown pretty well on my FR945. Before the optimization it was not shown at all but only the name of the widget.

What does this mean? My conclusion is, that there is a porblem with the memory limit. Either the limit is really 1019,6 kB but then, the glance view should be loaded as well with my implementation without the optimization, but it is not which would indicate that the real watch checks the wrong limit if glance should be displayed. Or the limit is not 1019,6 kB and is still 60 kB. The devices.xml would be wrong. But this higher limit is displayed for most newer divces. I would wonder, if this would be wrong....

I try to use glance on Fenix 6X, but when I try to draw app name label, I see some different in a Font size.

If I set FONT_XTINY is too small and if I set FONT_TINY is too big compared to Garmin default widget.

Anyone with the same problem?

The ConnectIQ fonts FONT_XTINY and FONT_TINY are not the same as the fonts used by the native glance views. This is something that should be addressed soon.
