Missing activeMinutesDay? Tests OK but errors on actual Fenix 3 HR watch

Former Member over 8 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to get and use active minute data on a watch face. Essentially this:

var activity = Act.getInfo();

        var actMinDay = activity.activeMinutesDay;

This tests OK with SDK 2.1.2 in the ConnectIQ app but when I download it to my Fenix 3 HR (software version: 3.50) the watch face doesn't display and this appears in the APPS/LOGS/CIQ_LOG.TXT file on the watch:

ERROR: Symbol Not Found Error
DETAILS: Could not find symbol activeMinutesDay.
STORE_ID: 00000000000000000000000000000000

So it appears this function is available in the SDK but not on my watch. Do I need to update my watch to beta firmware?
If so, if you could paste the link I'd appreciate it.
If not, then can somebody explain why I'm getting the error?

Thanks,
Stewart

If you look at the api documentation, for activeMinutesDay it has:

Since:
2.1.0

That means a watch with "biker" (2.1.x) Connect IQ on it. The f3 has "Aikido" (1.3.x) on it, so the function isn't available.

You can have the same watchface for Biker and non Biker devices by using "has" to see if the call is available before you try to use it.

Here's a chart of what devices have "Biker"

Thanks for clearing that up. I actually had no idea.

Is it possible to request they put that information on the download SDK page? I just downloaded it and didn't realise different watches were running different versions!

Thanks!
