Ui.loadResource(Rez.Fonts.xxx);

Hi,

I am trying to load a resource font created with BMFont tool. Was working perfectly until upgrade to SDK 2.x, the program stop at this line with the error
"
Failed invoking <symbol>
Invalid Value
in onLayout (source\slowView.mc:94)
Connection Finished
",
the line 94 being:
fontBigMinutes = Ui.loadResource(Rez.Fonts.Geneva65);

Any idea what is happening ?

Thanks,

I've got no idea now, but you might try checking that the font resource is being found...

if (! (Rez.Fonts has :Geneva65)) {
    Sys.println("Rez.Fonts.Geneva65 didn't exist");
    Sys.exit();
}

fontBigMinutes = Ui.loadResource(Rez.Fonts.Geneva65);

If the program outputs the error message, that implies that you either aren't compiling the resource file that contains that font definition, or you've renamed the font resource.

For the ones who could run into this problem, here is the solution.
I was building my watchface with my own 'makefile' instead of building it with Eclipse.
I found that I was missing an important parameter in the build options which discarded the font resources in the final package (.prg file).
So I analysed the command line from Eclipse and the option I was missing was: "-d round_watch_sim". Don't ask me why...
But if I remove this option the package is some kbytes lighter than with the option and I guess those kbytes represent the font data...

Happy coding...

Just a note, but "round_watch_sim" is the generic round watch, and doesn't indicate "all round watches".

You may want to switch to specific targets, such as "fenix3_sim" and "fenixchronos_sim"

(I picked these two as there are differences, in both the version of CIQ they run as well as memory available)
