Watchface dc Graphic Optimization

Former Member over 5 years ago

I'm creating a new watchface and have created a wallpaper pattern for the face of the watch. There is no animation so nothing will change. Where would be the best area to add my drawings? I'm thinking it would be a waste to perform the dc draws in onUpdate, correct?

That's really the only place you can do the draws using the dc.

onUpdate() is normally called only once per minute in a watchface, but will be called every second for 10 seconds after a gesture.

There's also onPartialUpdate where you can do an area for the display every second, where that's typically used for something like updating the seconds.

Cool. Thanks for the help. I'll stick the draws in onUpdate().

Cheers!
