SDK5 - Body Battery as option in settings

So I really want to provide the new available data in de new SDK like body battery as an option for customizable fields in my clocks. But I have no clue on how to make sure that only the people with a watch that’s updated tot that firmware can see that option in the settings.

We can easily do that in the views with :has, but I have no clue on how to do this in the settings. Is there something provided for this?

Hi, for me the only way to do so is to use Jungles and create a ressource folder which will contain the BodyBattery settings, and lead the devices you want to the appropriate ressource folder.

Yes, that's what I do now for stats like floors/altitude. But can we differentiate on watch firmware version? As the current firmware on a fenix6spro won't have the SDK available to show body battery, but the coming update in System 5 will have it. So if you select BodyBattery in the settings on fenix6spro: it will only work if it's updated to the latest firmware. I'm afraid I'll have some trouble with users there

I don't think we can. What I've done is to prepare everything and put the BB settings in comment, so that when system5 will be available I will just do a simple update, we can play with system version on .mc but don't think we can play with it on jungle.

You can use "has".

hasBB=(ActivityMonitor has :getBodyBatteryHistory);

but that is during runtime.

With Jungles, you can't build differently if a f6pro has CIQ 3.2 or CIQ 3.3.

When WW f6pro devices get 3.3.x (System 5), it could still be a while before APAC devices get it.

With on device settings instead of App settings from a phone or GE, you can hide the option if the devices doesn't have BB.

You can also use monkeyVersion to look for 3.3.x or 4.1.x, but "has" is a simpler runtime check.

Yeah has is perfect, but not available in jungle / resource files. So for an option in the settings it's still an issue I think.

On device settings use too much memory for me, never got it working because of the memory :/
