Max length of alphaNumeric setting?

9635560 over 5 years ago

Hi,

Maybe I'm being daft, but I can't find the supported max length of an alphanumeric setting value anywhere in the docs!

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

From experiment, it looks to be about 22 characters, but I don't know if this is something that I can rely on.

Thanks,

Gaius

In your settings, you can define a max. Her's one with a max of 32 characters and another with no limit.
```
        <setting propertyKey="@Properties.apikey2" title="@Strings.apikey">
            <settingConfig…
```

As of 3.2 there are two ways to do watch face settings. With app settings using GCM/GE/Connect IQ, or on device settings.

You may find on device settings would work better.

I understand the reason but still it might be interesting way for some stuff

Let's say, you want e.g. looping field - multiple timezones changing in one place. How would u do that? The only way now is to have multiple pretty the same fields in the settings. Json to the rescue :-D

However, thanks for your time

I have one app that you can show a different time zone in 10 fields. It's really not that hard, Easier than doing your own parsing of a json sting.

Of course, it's much easier having multiple same fields than parsing Json.

Funny thins is there is no Json parser available for the dev.

However, I can give you another example why using Json (or having "Add item" in Settings to change let's say and array) would be great - check ApiCall app, it's awsome, I use it pretty lot. Updating is really a pain in the back. :-D The way of displaying Settings is garbage. Not arguing just saying. :-D
