What types of configuration support can we expect?

From other threads, I understand that you're in the process on designing/implementing some means for Connect IQ applications to be configured.

Do you have any information on this yet?
Just what can we expect?
Will the configuration be based on typed fields?
If yes, which types will be precent?
- Integers
- Floats
- Strings
- Enumerations/combo/radio groups?
- mail adresses
- Will you support fields with a list/array of numbers?

The primary reason for the question at this point is to evaluate the possible applications we can plan for in the

You'll have to wait for the ConnectIQ team for a final response, but it is my understanding that the proposed system would let the user modify application properties (the ones you can access with App.setProperty() and App.getProperty()). If that is the case, primitive types and arrays of them would be supported directly.

That is my hope - and understanding - as well...

I can't guarantee this won't change before we complete the API, but the current format in progress these preference types.

Static:
Display only value: the Object store value is a String. (For displaying version numbers or such things)

Binary:
Simple on/off toggle: saves in the Object Store as a Boolean.

List:
Choose from a list of strings: the value saved in the Object Store is specified in the schema for each list item.

Entry:
Free form entry of various types: the Object Store value is a String.
The list of entry types I have at the moment is: alpha, numeric, alpha-numeric, phone number, email address, and date.
