Again Glance View problems

See "Resource Scopes" in the programmer's guide. Here's a bit from there:

Adding resources to an app comes with a minor runtime memory cost. While the cost is small, it can seriously cut into the available memory for background services and glances. To mitigate these costs, Connect IQ 3.1 introduces an additional scope attribute to the following resource tags: <layout>, <drawable-list>, <bitmap>, <string>, <font>, <jsonData>. The scope attribute tells the resource compiler the type of application that the resource should be made available to. Valid values for the scope attribute are background, glance, and foreground. If the attribute is not specified for a resource, it will be considered part of the foreground scope by default. An example of using the scope attribute with string resources:

<resources>
    <string id="MyBackgroundString" scope="background">Background String</string>
    <string id="MyGlanceString" scope="glance">Glance String</string>
    <string id="MyForegroundString" scope="foreground">Foreground String</string>

Hi Jim, thanks for that. I have adapted things and it works now. But glance view driving me nuts anyway. I have an old widget which isn't glance view compatibel. And this is what I mean that the concept of Garmin is not very consistent. Old widgets may not work without refactoring. Following problem:

I defined in the base app:

    function onStart(state) {
        Position.enableLocationEvents(Position.LOCATION_CONTINUOUS, method(:onPosition));    
    }

This works like a charm without glance. But with glance enabled, the watch throws an error message:

Error: Permission Required
Details: Permission for module 'Toybox.Position' required
Stack:
- onStart() at C:\Users\User\eclipse-workspace\Distance\source\DistanceApp.mc:17 0x10000ab2

I have a similar command in the onStop() method... Any workaround for that?

NOt all things are available for glances views, and in this case, you can't enable gps.  What you want to do is move this to something like getInitialView().

And what about the onStop which contains the disabling of GPS 

You could use a boolean to see it's started before you disable it.

OK, I tried that: moved the onStart statement to the getInitialView, introduced a boolean which is initialized with false in the base app and set to true in getInitialView. 

It works which means I don't see an IQ Error, but I get the very same error message as soon as I change from glance to initialview::

Error: Permission Required
Details: Permission for module 'Toybox.Position' required
Stack:
- onStop() at C:\Users\User\eclipse-workspace\Distance\source\DistanceApp.mc:22 0x10000adf

So something like this?

class WyWid extends App.AppBase {

    var isFull=false;
    
    function initialize() {
        AppBase.initialize();
    }

    // onStart() is called on application start up
    function onStart(state) {
    }

    // onStop() is called when your application is exiting
    function onStop(state) {
        if(isFull) {
            //stop gps
        }
    }

    // Return the initial view of your application here
    function getInitialView() {
        isFull=true;
        //start gps
        return [ new MyView() ];
    }    

}
