Fluid scrolling on touchscreens?

nsomlai

I'm trying to make my first widget. I'm trying to reproduce the behavior two Garmin widgets (stress graph, weather forecast) are capable of on touchscreen watches: scrolling contents as the user moves his finger. But I don't see how. All I see is hold/release and swipe events. No input event seems to be fired when the user moves his finger. Do those widgets use some internal feature not available to us?

    CIQ Widgets in the sim run differently than on a real device.  One big thing is they don't time out.  On a real device like a va/venu, after about 40 seconds, they time out and return to the watch face (it's about 2 minutes on other devices, like a fr or fenix),

    Another thing is when it's a single view and glances aren't involved, up/down, swipe up/down, moves thru the widget loop.  If you push another view, you can use up/down in that view.

    Native widgets aren't written in CIQ, so they can behave differently.
