I am trying to initialize an object with 10 parameters and I'm getting "Too Many Arguments Error", Why?

This is only after compiling that I get the "Too Many Arguments Error"

For example:

timeLabelOffset = new TimeLabelOffset(78, 46, 78, 79, 73, 76, 78, 67, 68, 78);

Thanks.

Not having the official documentation include important information like this is a real bummer. I ran into some error related to this max args issue and also had to go deep searching for why. It would be…

In a case like this, a work-around is use

timeLabelOffset = new TimeLabelOffset([78, 46, 78, 79, 73, 76, 78, 67, 68, 78]);

that way you are passing only 1 argument - an array

And again, you complain about something that no one in Garmin or outside Garmin really cares about.

Yeah, the reason no one cares about the "accidental new post" problem is because it usually only affects new posters who don't know any better. Although I've seen people who've been here for years make the same mistake with the New button.

They don't care because it doesn't affect them personally.

I care because I feel bad for those posters and because I've seen the problem recur over and over again for years, which proves to me it's not an aberration. And because in general, I care about quality in software, especially UI and UX.

Garmin (and everyone else) is free to ignore me, of course. Same as they ignore other kinds of complaints from lots of users stretching back 10 years or more.

As you've said a few times, you are not doing any CIQ app development., Why post here, and not just contact garmin Support? https://support.garmin.com

I tried to explain some of this already but:

1) I own a fairly recent garmin device so I have an interest in Garmin

2) I have CIQ apps in the store which I've updated somewhat recently, so I have an interest in CIQ

3) I use CIQ apps, so I have an interest in CIQ

4) I've answered a ton of questions and reported a ton of bugs in the forums over the years, so I have an interest in Garmin and CIQ. I'm reporting bugs on my current device even now (at least one of them has 8 upvotes, and it's the top bug report in its section by votes, so it's not something that only I'm experiencing)

5) I have a small amount of knowledge and skill which can be used to answer questions (to the best of my ability)

6) I complain about Garmin/CIQ because I obviously want them to be better. If I wasn't a fan of Garmin I wouldn't care at all

7) I'm interested in software, UI and UX in general

8) I still get support requests in the support thread for one of my CIQ apps

9) I can post as I please, as long as Garmin doesn't decide to ban me

EDIT:

10) I don't just mindlessly whine, I post detailed suggestions and bug reports, as well as making efforts to make in depth replies to whatever thread I'm replying to. Sorry you don't like my replies sometimes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

11) Unlike some people, I actually try to read and understand posts before I reply

If you look closely, I'm not the only forum regular who regularly criticizes Garmin. If someone's posting here, they're probably more likely to have a criticism or complaint, since as we all know, nobody bothers to speak up when they're happy. You'll also notice that other semi-regulars have left, perhaps because they lost interest or lost faith in Garmin.

At least I can admit when I'm wrong, especially when I'm spectacularly wrong, instead of digging my heels in.

You're free to ignore or skim my posts and comments, similar to how you barely read the stuff that you normally reply to. Why bother replying to stuff that you're not interested in?

It seems like you've been a great asset to Garmin and I appreciate you helping me.

You're welcome! Sorry for derailing the thread tho :|. I should def learn to hold my tongue a bit more often.

Garmin isn't all bad, I'm sure everyone there is passionate about their job and obviously they still make products we like. Since we're all fans I'm sure we all want them to be even better.
