Setting the name of the exercise from the app

DopeyDwerg over 2 years ago

I'm trying to set the name of an exercise when starting one from my app.

I start the recording like this

session = Recording.createSession({ :name => "Squash", :sport => 64, :subsport => 94 });

where 64 = RacketSport and 94 is Squash.

But it only shows up as RacketSport in the connect iq dashboard. How can I change this.

Where you have the name=>"Squash", you can set the name to be what you want, and then there is a setting in Garmin Connect to show that instead to the sport.

With this setting, I show that name.

For sport and subsport, that will then show for the sport. Here I set the name to Hike2+. but you'll see the sport (and icon) are for hiking)
