requestApplicationWake in onRecive

I also have this problem.  The only way requestApplicationWake will notify the user is if it is called before onTemporalEvent has finished.  Since Garmin's requests are asynchronous, it seems nearly impossible to receive the web request before onTemporalEvent is done.  Has anyone else figured out a way around this?

Thanks,

It's the same in any background service that does comm.  You do the Background.exit() in the onReceive code and same with this..

Thanks for your quick response Jim!

Here's what I have. For some reason it won't do requestApplicationWake.

using Toybox.Background;
using Toybox.System;
using Toybox.Time;
using Toybox.Application.Storage;
using Toybox.Time.Gregorian;
using Toybox.Communications;

(:background)
class MyAppBackground extends System.ServiceDelegate {
     	function initialize() {
         	ServiceDelegate.initialize();
     	}

    	function onTemporalEvent() {
	    	sendrequest();
      	}
      			
      	function sendrequest() {
	      	System.println("GET");
	   		var options = {
				:method => Communications.HTTP_REQUEST_METHOD_GET,
			    :responseType => Communications.HTTP_RESPONSE_CONTENT_TYPE_JSON
			};
			Communications.makeWebRequest("myurl", params, options, method(:data_response));   	
      	}
      	
      	function data_response(code,data) {
      		System.println("Should be exiting"); 
      		Background.requestApplicationWake("MyData");
      		Background.exit(null);
      	}
				
}

You're doing this on a real device and not the sim, correct?

most definitely.  This is something that could work very differently on a real device.

You called it. It works great on the actual watch.  Thank you, you've saved me hours! 

To be honest, this is something I wouldn't expect to work in the sim for a few different reasons.

Well, I spoke too soon.  Because my phone wasn't connected to my watch when I tested, the response was instant.  Using printlines, I can verify that when my phone is connected, the requestapplicationwake doesn't notify me.

Was your app already running when the background make the requestApplicationWake?
