Hi, I have developed some simple watch faces before and followed sample code I found here and elsewhere. I did not care to much about the watch face "life cycle", I just re-used the approach used in the samples, and everything worked as I wanted.
Now I have started to dig down a bit more into the different functions in the watch face view class and how I should use them. Previously I would do most of the work in the onUpdate() function. I loaded the resources in onLayout and I populated the class variables from settings in initialize(), but never used the onShow() function.
I am trying to figure out when onShow() is called in my case. My watch face does not provide in-app settings and only have one main view without subviews or submenus.
If I were to change my code I was leaning towards this:
1. load settings and populate class variables in initialize()
2. load resources in onLayout()
3. update view in onUdpate()
But what should I do in onShow()? Do I need it at all?
Thanks!
/Fredrik
