Icon time get 5 second

Former Member over 5 years ago

Hi, I'm making a code that draws a picture on the desktop every five seconds - an icon.

I have a total of 12 images, I want to link it to seconds, a different icon every five seconds. how can I incorporate time into the code and free up watch memory?

Thank you

Edit:

I'll add the source code later, I'm at work now.

I'm guessing this is a watch face. In a basic WF, most of the time onUpdate is only called once per minute. After a gesture, it will be every second for 10 seconds.

So, if you want something to change every 5 seconds, you need to look if you're getting updates every second, and if not, use onPartialUpdate

And venu devices don't support onPartialUpdate and have specific rules about what can be done in low power if you want to support an always on display.

Can OnPartialUpdate draw a different picture for me every five seconds? 
I need to connect it with seconds and call a different icon every five seconds and most importantly clear the cache. 
Is there any example?

It depends on things like the size of the image and the image must already be loaded. With onPartialUpdate, you are limited to an average of 30ms per call.

To get a basic understanding of onPartialUpdate, see https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/discussion/5156/1hz-watch-faces---q-a

we do not understand each other.
Imagine an empty circle with the seconds displayed in the middle, and every five seconds a segment appears in the circle, filling the entire circle after five seconds (12x5 = 60). 
When one minute = 60 seconds has elapsed, the segment circle is deleted and the cycle is repeated. 
Therefore I have to connect it to the Time () module ...

You get the time in onPartialUpdate. here's a case where I draw an arc for seconds, updating it in onPartialUpdate, you can do the same but every 5 seconds:

Thank you very much, 
but this solution is not useful to me. I
 need a specific segment to draw specific seconds for me. eg picture = 1 draw for 5 seconds ...

The basics are the same. You use onPartialUpdate, set a clip region, and update it every 5 seconds.

if(currentSeconds%5==0)

in onPartialUpdate.

so,

dc.drawBitmap(50, 50, pic1);
if (currentSeconds% 5 == 0)?

The second line is to see when 5 seconds have passed and you need to change it.
