I want to try the example Objectstore on my 920 XT. But i can not edit the values on the settings section on Garmin Express or the android app. Settings are not show. The launcher icon is not showing too.
For app settings, unless the app is in the app store, you can't use Garmin Express or Garmin Connect Mobile to change them. You can use the "App Settings Editor" when you run in the simulator.
It's best to experiment with app settings in the sample in the simulator.
Also, make sure to look at the the "New Developer FAQ #2" for some tips on usage.
You won't see application properties in Garmin Express or Garmin Connect mobile until the application is uploaded to the app store. For testing purposes you should be able to verify things are working by using the App Settings Editor with the simulator.
I want to note that we are improving documentation to help clarify Object Store. These two are correct in their instruction. Hopefully some refreshed documentation will help shed a bit of light on it's use.
Coleman, while doing this, maybe also note that the sample is for both the Object Store (.str file- the first screen) and Settings (.set file - the second screen), as well as the difference - such as a .set file can be copied between the sim and a device, while the .str file is tied to a specific app on a specific device (you can't use it on another device - a security thing I guess)
First time I looked at the sample it was long before app settings, and just showed how to use the .str file, and in 1.2.0, the second screen and settings was added to use the .set.

Yes. The Object Store sample grew some limbs...and some hair over time. Ha. We're doing a big push on documentation and revamping some of the in line comment style documentation to make things a bit more clear across the board.
