Question about making data in watch face and upload these data for server

Hello!

I am a newbie and developing a small watch face app.

Because of health condition, I need to take some pills in a daily basis.

So I made a small watch face app that

I can press on somewhere in watch face screen for a long time

whenever I take pills and it plus one to number label on the watch face screen,

so that I can check how many times I take pills for a day.

I did it using Storage.setValue and update the screen with Storage.getValue whenever I activate onpress function.

So the issue is that I need to upload this data to my server so I need to do webrequest with ToyBox.Communications.

But I can't do this in watch face because of permission problem, so I need to share these data in app or widget.

I know that garmin does not provide any shared database between apps.

And I need to make data only in watch face, so I cannot use complications because watch face only can subscribe to it and cannot update the complications data.

So do you have any suggestion to upload data made in watchface to server?

For example, is there any way to pass some arguments to app by Complications?

But when you click on a complication on the watch screen it launches the widget, and the widget can update the number

Thanks for reply. That’s true but I don’t want to open widget whenever I click and add number.

My ideal app is to make data in watch face by long click and upload sometimes in widget or app or auto uploading whenever garmin watch syncs with phone.

Is it impossible to develop?

I guess it is, because I know at least 2 watchfaces that have 2 screens and you can switch between them by long-click

You can get data from touch and change it to your requirement, save something on storage then send it in background, clear and again, again.
