Dc.getSubscreen in an app

9635560 3 days ago

Hi,

I'm trying to customise an app to work on semioctagon devices (instinct series, descent g1) but...

When I call dc.getSubscreen() in the onUpdate method, I see:

Error: Symbol Not Found Error
Details: Could not find symbol 'getSubscreen'
Stack: 
  - drawHR() at C:\Work\SVN_GARMIN\App_HIIT_Timer\source\App_HIIT_TimerView.mc:737 0x100055b7 
  - onUpdate() at C:\Work\SVN_GARMIN\App_HIIT_Timer\source\App_HIIT_TimerView.mc:585 0x10006a54

Surely this should work for device apps in the same way it does for device data fields?

Is there something I'm missing?

If it doesn't work for apps, is there any way I can get screen coordinates for subscreen without it?

I do this in initialize for the view:

bb=(WatchUi has :getSubscreen) ? WatchUi.getSubscreen() : null;

Then just null check bb.

Not all devices have getSubscreen, and in cases like the instinc crossover, there is no subscreen, but there you want to check for hands....

It works in all my apps were I use it - watch faces, device-apps, widgets.

Are you trying to use Dc and not WatchUi?

GAH! I am an idiot, I was looking on Dc and not WatchUi
