Garmin Edge 130 SDK 3.2 and on-device-settings

Hello!

I've just recently started writing data fields for my new Edge 130 and I must say that I absolutely love it!
The people at Garmin have absolutely nailed writing apps for such a small device.

For a few data fields that I am working on, I'd love to have on-device-settings.
I've already discovered that SDK 3.2 is going to have an optional configure screen when adding a new CIQ data field.

Is there any timeframe in which 3.2 is going to be released on the Edge 130?
Also I really hope that these configurable settings make it there too.
This is going to be an important, even critical feature which I can't wait to use and make great data fields with.

I'm really happy with the performance of the Edge 130 so far and it's done well on it's first trips - including my first data field.

Cheers,
Benedikt

You can use the 3.2 SDK today, but for the E130, you'll be building a 3.1 app. Not sure if the E130 will get 3.2, but I'd expect the E130+ to get it before the E130.

I wouldn't count on either getting 3.2.

But, you can still use normal apps settings from your phone with any device right now.

Thanks, Jim. I've discovered that my data field works (including the SDK 3.2 features), when running it in the Edge 130 simulator.

This is giving me hope that Garmin will release 3.2 on the Edge 130.

So in the sim for the e130, under settings, you have "Trigger App Settings" available? Don't get confused with the app settings editor in eclipse.

Yes, exactly. The trigger app settings has so far worked in the simulator with the E130 target set (I only have that device installed).

Sounds like a bug in the sim actually.

I hope not. This was the saving grace for the data fields...

On your E130, if you go to "about", what does it say for the CIQ version.

When I look at the E130 in the sim, the only target versions are 3.0 and 3.1

0 Benedikt over 5 years ago in reply to jim_m_58

My real E130 is running 3.1.8. The simulator is running 3.1.1.

0 jim_m_58 over 5 years ago in reply to Benedikt

So the device doesn't support the 3.2 features, What you see in the sim is the minimum version supported, and it's not odd that you have something newer on a device.

0 Benedikt over 5 years ago in reply to jim_m_58

Yes, indeed. I can't build for device for 3.2 either.
But I can run 3.2 code in the Edge 130 simulator and it will work as expected - including the new settings.
