No DataField API docs

Jan over 1 year ago

I am trying to run the connect IQ Companion App Example iOS code. Unfortunately, the sample app is a watch applicaiton and i am trying to build a Datafield for a Garmin Edge computer.

I tried converting the application (e.g. by changing WatchUi.BehaviorDelegate to DataField.BehaviorDelegate).

Unfortunately, the API docs miss information about DataFields! toybox.DataField module is not even listed. Also, when looking at the WatchUI Behavior delegate. the onKey() method (from the example) is not documented.

Is there a different place where i find DataField API docs?
Is there example code for a DataField that works with the iOS companion App Example?
What would be the easiest way to convert the watch app to a datafield?

Thank you!

With data fields, the only input possible is onTap(), and last I checked that was only on Edge devices with touch.

And on non-system 7 devices, to do Comm, it needs to be done in a background service

onKey() is in the API doc here: https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/api-docs/Toybox/WatchUi/InputDelegate.html#onKey-instance_function
