Simulator and API questions

1. Is it possible to get the profiler to start when the simulator starts? I would like to see the times of initialize, onLayout, and a few other routines that run at startup.

2. What do I need to do to get the "Watchface Diagnostics" to show anything other than all zeros? The watch face itself is working.

3. Is there a way to get the simulated watch face to look more like the real thing? A screen shot would be useless to show off.

4. Is it possible to get WatchFacePowerInfo.executionTimeAverage while the watch face is running? I only get a null value.

5. The watch is apparently tracking my heart rate most if not all the time. Is it possible to get the current heart rate while the watch face is awake? I am not looking for it in low power / sleep mode. The methods I have tried so far all return null.

6. Maybe the hard one: Can I get the compass while the watch is awake? If not directly then would it be possible to get a background service to read it?

I thought that drawBitmap is super fast - it doesn't and strange for device with gpu slower...

If you have screen 240x240 drawing bitmap you draw 57600 pixels on contrary dc.drawLine(0,0,240,1) draws 240 pixels.

So use drawBitmap if you can't drawing (like background from picture), drawing is very complicate.

An in onPartialUpdate you have to use setClip because every drawing pixel increase power budget.

In my case, drawing seconds, clip 25x25

BTW using buffered bitmaps - a lot of problem on many devices

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. It works like a charm.

That's it, thanks. Proof that staring at something too long makes it invisible. I tried using _actInfo.bearing for the compass but that's still null.

I was drawing the few polygons I have onto the screen directly because my initial target was my FR235. I thought some small bitmaps and clipping would let me have an always on second hand on the Fenix 7, being newer tech but nope. Turns out the Fenix is much better at calculating the sun, moon, and tides than graphics.
