Reinitialize watchface resources on settings change

Question

Hello, 
 I am creating a watchface where I am checking a setting in the initialize function and based on that, I am loading a particular Bitmap resource. 
 When changing the settings, the bitmap is not changing, since it's not reinitializing the watchface. Is there any way to force this? 
 
 I am doing all of this so I don't keep all bitmaps in memory, I just load the one selected in the settings. 
 
 Thank you!

When onSettingsChanges is called, load the bitmap you want to use with the settings you see. The exact way to do that depends on the specific code in your watchface, but lets say you have a function in your view that loads your settings called loadSettings(). And in getInitalView, you save the view to "view". 
 Then in onSettingsChanged, you'd have 
 view.loadSettings(); 
 WatchUi.requestUpdate(); //so onUpdate() in the view gets called right away to update the display
