Why am I not getting cadence?

Hi,

I'm trying to read the cadence in a Data Field app this way:

showCadenceInsteadOfCalories = app.getProperty("c") && Sensor.Info has :cadence;
...

if (showCadenceInsteadOfCalories) {
cadence = Sensor.Info.cadence != null ? Sensor.Info.cadence : 0;
}

but I only see 0 on my Forerunner 245 (and other Data Fields do display cadence)

What am I missing?

Ok, I'm answering my own question:

1. Garmin please improve the documentation. When I search for "cadence" in https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/api-docs/ I only get AntPlus results, and I think I should've got this as well: https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/api-docs/Toybox/Activity/Info.html#currentCadence-var

2. the solution:

showCadenceInsteadOfCalories = app.getProperty("c");
...

if (showCadenceInsteadOfCalories) {
caloriesOrCadence = info.currentCadence != null ? info.currentCadence : 0;
}

Where info is what calculate(info) gets passed, or you could also do:

var info = Toybox.Activity.getActivityInfo();

If you click on Methods you will get the results you wanted to see. The default search scope is Classes.

I agree it's unintuitive and I noticed that other people have ran into this problem before.

Ah, good to know. Then again, dear Garmin, please improve the UI at this point by adding a default filter: "all"
