Error: Out Of Memory Error when installing the beta version of my watch face

RE: Error: Out Of Memory Error when installing the beta version of my watch face

jim_m_58, That was very helpfull, I ended up doing the following:

1- I scoped all my resources(font, string, bitmap and the layout) as "foreground" since I ain't using it in my base class and thus save memory.

2- I decorated also with (:background) all the global and external variables that I'm using in my base class, like for instance the Helpers class, since I'm using Helpers.INSTALLED_ON_DATE_STORAGE_KEY.

So, I've published a new beta version and this time finally worked. I'll monitor it a bit more to ensure all is good.

As always, thank you my friend for the great help.

/Juan

You need to scope the resources you are using is my guess. See

https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/core-topics/resources/#resources

Resource Scopes

Here's how you can translate the PC values and see where it's happening in your code:

Hi jim_m_58,

I've tried the approach you suggested, and now my code looks like this:

import Toybox.Application;
import Toybox.Lang;
import Toybox.WatchUi;
import Toybox.Time.Gregorian;

(:background)
class MyWatchFaceApp extends Application.AppBase {

    function initialize() {
        AppBase.initialize();
    }

    // onStart() is called on application start up
    function onStart(state as Dictionary?) as Void {
    }

    // onStop() is called when your application is exiting
    function onStop(state as Dictionary?) as Void {
    }

    function onAppInstall() as Void {
        storeInstallationDate();
    }

    function onAppUpdate() as Void {
        storeInstallationDate();
    }

    // Return the initial view of your application here
    function getInitialView() as [Views] or [Views, InputDelegates] {
        if(!Helpers.isAmoled() and Toybox.WatchUi.WatchFace has :onPartialUpdate) {
            return [ new MyWatchFaceView() as Views, new MyWatchFaceDelegate() as InputDelegates ];
        }

        return [ new MyWatchFaceBIPView() ];
    }

    // New app settings have been received so trigger a UI update
    function onSettingsChanged() as Void {
        WatchUi.requestUpdate();
    }

    function getSettingsView() {
        var settingsMenu=new MyWatchFaceSettingsMenu();
        return [settingsMenu as Views, new MyWatchFaceSettingsMenuDelegate(settingsMenu) as InputDelegates];
    }

    hidden function storeInstallationDate() as Void {
        var epochInstalledOn = Application.Storage.getValue(Helpers.INSTALLED_ON_DATE_STORAGE_KEY);
        if (epochInstalledOn == null) {
            var epoch = Time.now().value();
            Application.Storage.setValue(Helpers.INSTALLED_ON_DATE_STORAGE_KEY, epoch);
        }
    }
}

function getApp() as MyWatchFaceApp {
    return Application.getApp() as MyWatchFaceApp;
}

I tried, and uploaded and published a new beta version, however after installing it I got the following error in the logs:

---
Error: Illegal Access (Out of Bounds)

Appname: MyWatchFace

  - pc: 0x1000004c
  - pc: 0x10000021

Now it's a different error, not "Out Of Memory" anymore, which means that the (:background) did work.

Can this new error reside in my storeInstallationDate function?

Hi flocsy🤠,

To answer your question, this is what I have in my memory usage:

I think those numbers are ok for my understanding.

Do you see something wrong there?

To use onAppInstall, onAppUpdate, you need to have the background permission set, but that also means you want to annotate things for the background, or it will try to load your entire app when the background runs.

In the code you posted, before the class definition for AppBase (right before line 1), try adding

(:background)

That way only your AppBase gets loaded when the background runs

Is there any sound effect coming out?

how does the memory usage (and peak memory) look in the sim on the same device?
