Reading a file from device,

6792065 over 2 years ago

Hi,

Does anyone know a way were I can read file data from the device, so that my app can work like the Run, Swim, Strength apps? They read workout data from a fit file stored on the watch, but I'm not sure how to achieve this?

Thanks

Luke

You can't do this with CIQ.

If you want to read stored data for Courses, Routes, Tracks, Waypoints or Workouts this should be possible using the PersistedContent API

That allows you see what's there in CIQ but not read the contents. In CIQ you can use it to launch a native app that uses them.

Thanks Remoh

PersistedContent would have been nice but as jim_m_58 says I can't get the information I'd need to present a workout this way.

At this point I think my best option would be to have a companion app send the workout data to the watch app, probably as Json.
