Swim Data Fields in one view

Hi guys.

I want to make swim watch app.

I want to start session, and display Timer, HR, Pace and Distance Data.
Can anyone point me to documentation how to do this, how to display all this data on one screen ?

From my understanding, I need to use SimpleDataField class, is that correct ?
How can I put 4 SimpleDataField into one View ? Like on image below ?
Maybe there is a sample app where I can check how to do this ?

THanks.

If you are doing a device app, you can't use data fields and must display the data in the device app itself.

Ah. I see. Thanks.
So I need to create custom layout and put all this labels manually as I want, right ?
And then I need to create a timer and update View every second ?
And in update function, I can call Activity.getActivityInfo() and get fresh data every second ?
Will be that correct approach ?

You don't need to use layouts (you can use direct DC calls instead), but yes. Many things you'll want to display are in Activity.Info and you'll probably want a timer that does WatchUi.requestUpdate().
