Animated Watch Face: Animation Not Playing on Screen Glance?

Hey all,

I'm finally reaching the end of my First 2 Watch Face Development Journey and have what I believe to be one final issue to work out.

I made an animated watch face using the DanceDance sample as a template and while the animation plays correctly when I scroll to the watchface it does not play the animation when I glance at the watch and it wakes using my wrist motion.

I thought the code was simple but am I missing something?

    function onExitSleep() 
    {
`    _animationDelegate.play();
    }

Which watch and what FW? Look at your watch settings for gesture/backlight. Anything that could be related.

Hey Jim,

Garmin Venu running 3.2+ Gesture Mode is set to Always On. Timeout is Medium

Try having the timeout to "always on" You mean 3.2 for CIQ? What's the FW version? The current is 6.20

Apologies watch is on 6.2

I want the watch to continue to go screen off and wake with Gesture which I think Always On for timeout would override?

The animal plays correctly when scrolling back to home screen just not on waking it up via gesture or button.

Change to always on. Have you run this in the sim and watched the heat map?

Always On seems to have found an issue. When I gesture to turn the screen back on it displays the IQ! Error.

I'm not sure what the heat map is?

6.20 on the venu and va4 has an issue where a timer is started in onExitSleep results in a crash.

So crash to IQ! has been resolved but I still cannot seem to get it to play the animation on waking from Glance. It only runs when I switch back to the Watchface. Full Code for Reference:

    // The user has just looked at their watch. Timers and animations may be started here.
    function onExitSleep() 
    {
    _animationDelegate.play();
    
    
    }

    // Terminate any active timers and prepare for slow updates.
    function onEnterSleep() {
         _animationDelegate.stop();
         
         
    }

}
