onTimerReset()

I read that onTimerReset() isn't called for some devices when an activity is saved (e.g. Forerunner watches). Is this still the case?

If yes, how can I detect whether an activity is saved which is suitable for all devices? I would like to save some activity summaries to a log file via sys.println at the end of an activity.

Found a workaround that may be useful for the users seeing this thread in the future. If you wanna do a BLE sending or something async in AppBase.onStop, remember to add a Delay to give the operation enough…

As jim_m_58 has said:

On some devices, after a save/discard your data field is no longer running so it can't do anything.

This seems what happened to your device.

(I‘m coming from Edge devices - here it would work…)

Indeed. I know it works on Forerunner 745/965 but fenix7 and Brandon.ConnectIQ acknowledged it in https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/i/bug-reports/ontimerreset-not-called-in-a-datafield-on-fenix7

Even if I do the BLE send in AppBase.onStop, it still doesn't work. ;(

There isn't a function like Thread.sleep(5) in Java, you can use

var cnt = 4000;

while(cnt>0){

cnt--;

}

It would make it possible to finish the async operation.
