Widget close onNextPage()

6538228 over 5 years ago

Hi,

I created a widget and implemented Up/Down behavior that switch between views.

My app flow:

MainView --pushView--> SecondView with Up/Down --pushView--> ThirdView with Up/Down.

Everything worked fine, until I updated my Venu to version 4.0.0.

When I try to swipe Up/Down my widget closes...

Any idea of how to solve it? Is it a regression?

My wife's vivoactive 4s has exactly the same issue after updating to FW 4.0.

I believe it's a bug. At least it works fine on <4.0.

I wrote this app: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/d33523a2…

I wrote this app: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/d33523a2-3be6-4689-8f40-af7912063446 for her and myself to be able to read Chinese on our Garmin watches and it works perfectly before she updates to FW 4.0.

The widget app uses onNextPage() and onPreviousPage() to navigate to next/previous page of a message. On touch watches it is usually swiping up/down and on my Fenix 6 it is button press.

Any ideas? This is annoying as an app developer.

Can anybody in Garmin jump in and reply to this thread? Tried new SDK 3.1.7 and in Simulator it works well but in real device the widget closes whenever onNextPage() or onPreviousPage().

This really makes us developers look bad.

Thanks for this info. I didn't realise there is a bug report there.
