Invalid resource for a round_watch...

Hi,

I have the simplest app, a hello world app with the only purpose to show a bitmap image. It works fine on a square_watch! :-) But...

Now, I'd like to extend the app to show another bitmap on a round watch. That should be easy. As I understand it, I just need to add <iq:product id="round_watch"/> to the manifest and create a new folder next to my resources folder named resources-round_watch and in it put my image that are specific for the round watch. I therefore simply copied the resources folder and renamed it to resources-round_watch and then replaced the image. That's it.

But when I load the app into the simulator it fails with an error:

$ monkeydo hello.prg round_watch

I build the application as:

C:\Users\a043589\Downloads\HelloGarmin>monkeyc -o ./hello.prg -m manifest.xml -z ./resources/bitmaps.xml;./resources/resources.xml;./resources/strings.xml;./resources-round_watch/bitmaps.xml;./resources-round_watch/resources.xml;./resources-round_watch/strings.xml  ./source/HelloView.mc ./source/HelloApp.mc -w

What am I missing?

Is there some reason you aren't using Eclipse and the ConnectIQ plugin to do your building? It would remove all question about using the wrong compile line. As far as I can see, the thing that you are missing is the -d round_watch that you'll need to get the device-specific resource overrides.

That said, if you omit that flag on the compile line, it should compile for the default device, which would be the square_watch. Is there something on source/HelloView.mc:21 that is referring to a resource that no longer exists?

Yay, adding the -d option made my hello world app run as a round app! Thanks! :-))

And, well, the reason I do not use Eclipse is simply that I do not like it. I prefer working in a simple editor and command line, especially so if I do not have an IDE providing me with a great debugging environment. And line 21 is: dc.drawBitmap(0, 0, bitmap); where bitmap is my image: bitmap = Ui.loadResource(Rez.Drawables.id_helloBitmap);
