On-device watch face settings: how to dismiss settings screen?

Hello,

I have created a watch face with some on-device settings (rather than modifying settings through Garmin Connect). All works fine so far, but I can't dismiss the settings screen. When I hit the hardware back button, the MenuDelegate's "onBack()" function is called, but it does not pop the settings window in order to go back to the watch face. The BehaviorDelegate's "onBack()" is not called.

The source follows the Garmin sample code "Analog".

I can only wait for the settings screen to time out, which then works fine.

How do I get rid of the settings screen? Any idea?

In your "onBack()" code in the settings menu delegate do a popView() like this:

function onBack() {
WatchUi.popView(WatchUi.SLIDE_IMMEDIATE);
return false;
}

I had that and it did not make a difference. However, I have resolved it. In fact, the "Analog" sample code seems to be misleading and unnecessary complicated. I have eliminated the whole SettingsView and SettingsViewDelegate code and call the Menu directly. Then the popView indeed works.

If anyone is interested, the code in this thread did help me a lot and is much more straightforward than Garmin's Analog sample. https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/discussion/238950/an-app-for-sdk-3-2-and-3-1/1138072#1138072

Yes, that's how I've done on devices settings since the start. The analog sample has the extra view, but if I recall there you used back to dismiss the menu, then back again to leave the extra view
