Using PersistedContent.getWorkouts() is unsupported in simulator?

Hi,

I'm working on a device app, and am trying to show a list of all workouts - but despite my best efforts it doesn't seem like the simulator is capable of this.

First I connected my watch by USB and copied the .fit file of a workout - one I built from within the Garmin Connect app.

Then, I found where the simulator keeps its local workouts (%localappdata%\Temp\GARMIN\Workouts) and tried to start up the simulator. I noticed that the file got deleted, so I'd assume that the simulator does a clean wipe every time it starts up.

So I tried to start the simulator and only then copy over the file, but still to no avail - when running the following code snippet, "currentWorkout" is always null.

var iterator = PersistedContent.getWorkouts(); // Get the Iterator
var currentWorkout = iterator.next();
System.println(currentWorkout);

It seems that manually pushing files to the simulator is unsupported, despite the simulator having several UI options that do just that.

I would love to know if there was some kind of workaround to simulate this, working directly from my watch is significantly less comfortable.

Thanks!

Try putting them in the NewFiles folder instead of Workouts.

And remember, with CIQ all you can do is list them, You can't actually use them.

Putting it in NewFiles didn't seem to work.

But I overlooked the fact that I can only list workouts and not read them, so the functionality is really a bit less useful for me.

Still, interested theoretically in how to get it to work in the simulator, as it seems that all the capabilities are there.
