How to transfer data to the internet while activity

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to transfer activity data in realtime e.g. while running over BLE and the Garmin Connect Android App to a webserver.

In the documentation I found the following information:
- Only widgets and apps allow to transfer data over BLE
- Apps are only running from start until the exit, there is no possibility to start apps in background
- while activities is going on, I only have the possibility to implement datafields to run my own sourcecode
- datafields cannot be used to transfer data over BLE

I want to transfer Position and Sensor data in realtime to a webserver, to allow a trainer to
monitor runniers performance and health while training.

thx

Then you must write an app (not a data field, watch face or widget) that implements all of the features of the built-in app that you are trying to emulate. This may mean that you need to implement activity recording (start, stop, save, discard, ...), data fields (time, distance, pace, speed, ...), in addition to the functionality to upload the realtime data.
