onPartialUpdate blocks onUpdate

when using onPartialUpdate(dc) it seems like onUpdate(dc) does not run anymore and minutes & hours are stuck, but seconds update properly.
I addition, it seems like a bug in the SDK simulator which does not use onPartialUpdate, but calls onUppdate every sec.

Normally, onUpdate will get called at the top of the minute.

But when not in low power, it gets called every second (this happens for about 10 seconds on a real device after a gesture.)

Do you mean onPartialUpdat() is updating part of the screen but you're not seeing the hh:mm update() get called?

That sounds like you aren't clearing the clip region (dc.clearClip())

In the sim, under Settings, is "Low Power Mode". There's a bug that's been around for a while, and what you need to do is toggle it a couple of times to make sure it's in low power mode. You should then see onPartialUpdate getting called.

Update:.

BTW, on a Venu, onPartial update is never called. Things in low power are handled differently due to the AMOLED display.

thanks a lot.
However, onUpdate does not update <hour: minutes> after enabling onPartialUpdate.

Thanks exactly.
If possible I suggest to clear this point in the documentation.

That's where some samples that help, like the Analog sample in the SDK. I posted a really simple digital WF in this thread, and if you're just starting with this in CIQ you could get your pointers there:

You need to use dc.setClip to set the clip region. I'm not sure what you are saying about the retanges. Post a scrren shot of what you see, and the onPartialUpdate function you use.

dc setClip I have set, but I don't know how to display the font - an icon that shows the seconds: I use this:

dc.setClip(20, 175, 10, 20);
//dc.clear();
dc.setColor(Graphics.COLOR_BLUE, Graphics.COLOR_TRANSPARENT);
dc.drawText(20, 175, fontIcon_1, ICON_, Gfx.TEXT_JUSTIFY_CENTER);

fontIcon_1, ICON it is an icon that is displayed every second "" >> ""

Jimme, can i ask how to solve it and load the font icon as seconds? Thank you

I'm not sure what you are trying to do. You show 3 red triangles and "SEC.", but then you try to draw at 20,175 but centered on the 20, so half t would be outside your clip region
