SDK 3.2 on-device settings

Hi guys,

I saw that with SDK 3.2 you can now use on-device settings. Just 2 questions on this:

1. What do I need to do to enable on-device settings in the new SDK 3.2 in the code under \resources\settings\settings.xml?

2. How does a user access the on-device settings on a watch?

Thanks.

In the sim under Settings is "Trigger App Settings". That's how you see this in the sim. In the WF I posted the link to, I go right to Menu2, while the analog sample, there's an additional…

1). It doesn't involve settings.xml at all. You can have on device settings without using app settings from your phone

2) it's like native watchfaces, where if you are in the watchface selector (Long…

For data field settings, when you add CIQ data field which supports settings, it'll prompt if you want to modify the settings…

Hi I managed to get that running for a Datafield. Saying that, if I try to open settings in the sim for older devices which don't support ciq 3.2, the sum throws an error. How can I programmatically prevent this?

We should fix the simulator to not try to display app settings if the device doesn't have support. You shouldn't need to do anything in your code (unless you want to compile out the settings view stuff).

Good to hear, Travis. The code is old and is not written very maintainable friendly. The better way would be to have inheritance in place to handle that but I don't like to refactor the code...

bine8x8, same here, I have a VA3M with FW 6.00 and Connect IQ 3.2.0, and I only see the "Apply" button for the watch face on the device itself. I am hoping for an update soon so I can use the on device settings.

Same here, VA3M FW6.0 doesn't show on-device settings for watchfaces. Is the feature only available for some devices or am I missing something?

Does anyone know how to open "on-device settings" on an Edge 530? I got a report from a user that is unable to open it by holding the "Up" or "Menu" button on Edge 530 with the latest firmware. By holding the "Up" button it cycles through the data screens and by holding the "Menu" button nothing happens. In the simulator it works as expected by using "Trigger App Settings".

Out of curiosity, does accessing on-device settings cause your data field to be reset? (i.e. Does it cause the process to terminate and restart?)

I'd like to use on-device settings to implement something other than settings, and I'm wondering if it's feasible.

On my Edge530 I have an activity page with my two Connect IQ data fields displayed in 2 field layout. I single press the top-right button, then scroll-down to "Data Fields", then scroll-down to "Connect IQ data fields", then choose the IQ datafield I want to edit settings for.

Does anyone know how to do this on an 830?
