Accessing Toybox.ActivityMonitor.Info via a simple data field app

Hello,

I'm hoping someone can give me a steer as to how to access Toybox.ActivityMonitor.Info via a simple data field app.

Specific use case:

Display activityInfo.timeToRecovery for use as a data field viewable during a workout on a Fenix6s.

The current code that I have is the following which builds to a blue screen in the simulator:

recoveryfieldview.mc:

import Toybox.Activity;

import Toybox.Lang;

import Toybox.Time;

import Toybox.WatchUi;

import Toybox.ActivityMonitor;

class recoveryfieldView extends WatchUi.SimpleDataField {

// Set the label of the data field here.

function initialize() {

SimpleDataField.initialize();

label = "timeToRecovery";

}

// The given info object contains all the current workout

// information. Calculate a value and return it in this method.

// Note that compute() and onUpdate() are asynchronous, and there is no

// guarantee that compute() will be called before onUpdate().

function compute(info as Activity.Info) as Numeric or Duration or String or Null {

}

onUpdate(){

// See Activity.Info in the documentation for available information.

var activityInfo = info as Toybox.ActivityMonitor.Info;

var timeToRecovery = activityInfo.timeToRecovery;

if (timeToRecovery == null) {

timeToRecovery = 0;

}

return timeToRecovery;

}

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

With a simple data field, onUpdate isn't called. You need to use a complex data field for that. With a simple one, all you can do is return what you want displayed in compute.

Thank you for the nudge. I've now made some changes, and tested on device.

Pleased to say it's working!

If helpful for anyone here's the final code:

import Toybox.Activity;
import Toybox.Lang;
import Toybox.Time;
import Toybox.WatchUi;

class rec_data_fieldView extends WatchUi.SimpleDataField {

 // Set the label of the data field here.
 function initialize() {
 SimpleDataField.initialize();
 label = "Rec Time (hrs)";
 }

 // The given info object contains all the current workout
 // information. Calculate a value and return it in this method.
 // Note that compute() and onUpdate() are asynchronous, and there is no
 // guarantee that compute() will be called before onUpdate().

 function compute(info as Activity.Info) as Numeric or Duration or String or Null {
 var timeToRecovery = ActivityMonitor.getInfo().timeToRecovery; 
 if (timeToRecovery == null) {
 timeToRecovery = 0;
 }

 return timeToRecovery;

 }

}
