Basic list element

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hello everyone,

I am new to Connect IQ. I just read through the e-book and the programmers guide. Now I am looking for some basic UI elements like for example this list element:

But I couldn't find any libraries other anything else for these UI elements. So, do I really have to implement all of these elements by myself? It's that low level?

Thank you in advance.

Connect IQ has ways to create menus that prevents you from having to implement everything from scratch, (see the Menu and Picker classes) but I suspect you're asking about UI elements like the little icons in the image you provided. Right now, we don't have any standard UI elements available in the SDK, but it's something we've discussed including. In the meantime, you can include your own images or supply custom fonts to dome something like what you're looking for.

Thank you for your answer. I've seen the menu and picker class. But is there any way to modify the menu items, so that they look like the items on the picture meaning a nice white box in the background of each item?

Or is there in general any resource where I can find further information on this topic?

The Picker is probably your best bet to get you close. There's more info about it here:

We also have a Picker sample app included with the SDK that you can take a look at if you want to see some different ways to use the Picker.
