Part of the screen updated 5 times in a second!?(VA4)

Is that possible?

I have a center part of my watchface, that should be something like animated. So I wanna try to update that part much often then the rest of the screen. Is that possible, if yes some have an example for me?

You can do something with starting a timer in onExitSleep() and stopping in oin onEnterSleep, but that's currently broken in the va4 FW.

I know. I had problems with timers < 1 sec. But when the issue is repaired, only the center part each .2 sec. The rest each sec. Does partial update works with timers?!

No. onPartial update just gets called once a second, and when you update the screen, you are limited to a 30ms average per call. Which can be tricky. And you can't do any file system IO in onPartialUpdate.

Ok. Thank you
