Is it possible to record FIT files using the emulator? if yes, where are the recorded files stored?

Thanks in advance!
  • That's something you can do with the 2.1.0 preview version of the SDK. They are in the activities folder of the temp directory used by the simulator. (\<user>\appdata\temp\garmin on win10).

    You can feed it data by simulating/playing back a .fit, and/or with using the new "FitContributor" in your code.

    How do I find out which version of SDK I have?
  • In Eclipse, one way is to go to Window>preferences.Connect IQ and see what SDK you're pointed to.

    I guess a question is why you want to write a .fit. Or do you really not want to write a fit, but test an app that would create a .fit on a real device?

    To test an app that records a .fit in the simulator, you don't actually need to physically write a .fit.
