Former Member over 5 years ago

Hi,

I have a problem with my new widget : https://apps.garmin.com/en-EN/apps/e5a8a9c4-6713-4c3c-8229-e68021abe71e with some watch : fenix 6 and MARQ, all the family. there is no problem on forerunner, vivoactive 4.

When i test the widget on Eclipse, there is an error :

Error: Permission Required
Details: Permission for module 'Toybox.Position' required
Stack: 
  - onStart() at D:\workspace\eclipse\WGoogleCalendar\source\WGoogleCalendarApp.mc:147 0x10002635

"using Toybox.Position;" is declared.

code in line 147 is "Position.enableLocationEvents(Position.LOCATION_CONTINUOUS, method(:onPosition));"

Can you help me ?

That's glance mode for widgets - it's available on the f6 devices, Marq, and in beta on the 945 and 245.

(the icon and the app name are displayed). In the sim, under settings, turn off glance view…

Do you have the Positioning permission set in the manifest file? You need that to use GPS.

Ok, I'm thinking you have a background process, and if you do this in onStart(), that also runs for the background process, and that will give you an error (you can't start GPS in the background).

Move that line of code to getInitialView(), which only runs in the main process..

thanks jim.

Yes, i have the persmission positioning in manifest file.

Yes, line 147 is in onStart() ... and it's ok pour ForeRunner 645, VivoActive 4, Darth Vader, Fenix 5. There is a difference ??

But, i move line in getInitialView() as you say me. It's ok for ForeRunner, but display with Fenix 6S is :

There are many threads about cleances in the discussion forum. Yes, you can publish without having code for glance view.

an user test on fenix 6 pro. he can't upload my widget : system say "this app is not compatible with the selected device" :\

If I look at devices you support for the widget, I see the f6s, f6x, but not the f6. Are you sure you have the f6 set as a compatible device for this widget?
