aod coding and on which devices to add this feature?

See the section for AMOLED.  The Venu sq is the same, but isn't AMOLED.

You can use file>view heat map in the sim to see what's going on the low power.

Thank you jim, so just to make sure that I got it right, in AMOLED I need to use WatchUi.onEnterSleep and then make the text for the watch face. I need to use thin fonts and get the pixels to move (every minute for instance). In MIP (not AMOLED) I can use View.onPartialUpdate and use it for the middle of my watch without time limitation or any need to move the location of the pixels used.

I can determine the screen type easily with if (DeviceSettings.requiresBurnInProtection == true) {settings for AMOLED;}

else {settings for MIP;}

And the very last question is how can I cause the pixels to move?

It depends a bit on your code.  In onEnterSleep, I set a boolen and in onExitSleep, I clear it and then in onUpdate, I can see if I'm in low power mode or not.  And then it's low power andrequiresBurninProtection=true is then code that fits the requirements is used - no more than 10% of the pixels and no pixel on for more than 3 minutes.

Hey jim, I've started working on it. I tried to use the same lines as I used in onUpdate in the onEnterSleep(). I've seen that the var don't work in onEnterSleep(). The code looks like this:

if(DeviceSettings.requiresBurnInProtection == true) {
		dc.setColor(SelectedColor, Graphics.COLOR_TRANSPARENT);
        if (Application.getApp().getProperty("ShowLeadingZero") == true) {dc.drawText(dc.getWidth() / 2.1, dc.getHeight()*0.32452, customFont, myHr.format("%02d"), Graphics.TEXT_JUSTIFY_RIGHT);}
        if (Application.getApp().getProperty("ShowLeadingZero") == false) {dc.drawText(dc.getWidth() / 2.1, dc.getHeight()*0.32452, customFont, myHr.format("%d"), Graphics.TEXT_JUSTIFY_RIGHT);}
        dc.drawText(dc.getWidth() / 2, dc.getHeight()*0.2284, dateFont, dateString, Graphics.TEXT_JUSTIFY_CENTER);
        if (Application.getApp().getProperty("ShowSeconds") == true) {
        dc.drawText(dc.getWidth() *0.8534, dc.getHeight()*0.46875, secFont, Lang.format("$1$", [clockTime.sec.format("%02d")]), Graphics.TEXT_JUSTIFY_LEFT);}
        if (!System.getDeviceSettings().is24Hour) {dc.drawText(dc.getWidth() *0.8534, dc.getHeight()*0.37981, secFont, myAmPm , Graphics.TEXT_JUSTIFY_LEFT);}
        dc.setColor(Graphics.COLOR_WHITE, Graphics.COLOR_TRANSPARENT);
        dc.drawText(dc.getWidth() / 2.1, dc.getHeight()*0.32452, customFont, ":" + Lang.format("$1$", [clockTime.min.format("%02d")]), Graphics.TEXT_JUSTIFY_LEFT);
        }

var extra = null;
var minNum;
minNum = clockTime.min.toNum();
if (minNum%2 == 1){extra = dc.getHeight/2;}
if (minNum%2 == 0){extra = 0;}

and then add extra to the the y of all the texts I want to add.

Hi,

Pretty sure because your Var is declared on onUpdate, so they does not exist on onEnterSleep.

Like Jim said, I think it is because to create à function for amoled which is called on OnUpdate and use onEnterSleep etc to set a flag 

Hi Shent-Aurkhan, I didn't understand how to do the part the part of In "onEnterSleep, I set a boolen and in onExitSleep, I clear it and then in onUpdate, I can see if I'm in low power mode or not" that Jim said. I thought that for now it will be better to start with something and then optimize it but I guessing that it is worse then optimize from the beginning. Can you or jim_m_58 explain to me how to create it?

hi, 

with all the elements given to you, you could find it on your own, I mean your learning would be better if you find the solution on your own, don't you think?

Basicaly, here is how I do:

var AODflag=false;

onUpdate(){
    //CODE YOU WANT ON ALL VIEW
    //for exemple only time and date

    if (!AODflag){
        //CODE ONLY WHEN BURN PROTECTION IS FALSE
        //for exemple the data field etc
    }
}



onEnterSleep(){
    if(System.getDeviceSettings() has :requiresBurnInProtection && System.getDeviceSettings().requiresBurnInProtection){AODflag=true;}
}



onExitSleep(){AODflag=false;}

you can use the same process to detect if your device is in LowPower or HighPower, for exemple to display seconds only on gesture.

EDIT: I forgot to add, on onUpdate()

you will want to add:

if(AODflag){

//Draw black line which move every 3minutes

}

Wooooooooooow I've just noticed that SQ are not amoled...Thanks...

Here's the very basics of what I do

class MyView extends WatchUi.WatchFace {

	var inLowPower=false;
	var canBurnIn=false;
	
    function initialize() {
        WatchFace.initialize();

        if(Sys.getDeviceSettings() has :requiresBurnInProtection) {       
        	canBurnIn=Sys.getDeviceSettings().requiresBurnInProtection;        	
        }
    }
    
    function onUpdate(dc) {
        if(inLowPower && canBurnIn) {
            //do AOD display (<10%. 3 minutes max)
        } else {
            // regular display
        }
    }
    
    function onExitSleep() {
    	inLowPower=false;
    	WatchUi.requestUpdate();
    }

    function onEnterSleep() {
    	inLowPower=true;
    	WatchUi.requestUpdate();    
    }
}
