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

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;

 }

}

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.
