I want to create an activity app, but there are not many videos or tutorials about the whole process of the coding, I wanted to ask you if someone knows a link to download a template code like one of the internal activity apps from garmin that I could use for my app, or at least a source to learn how to code for garmin, I want to have a layout and a menu in one view like the picture below but I don't know how to do it, please someone help me, thank you

Connect IQ doesn't provide a view class that automatically does this for you, or sample code that implements such a view.

Unfortunately you would have to create the view from scratch. Your code would have to draw all the elements and handle the input for the custom view.

When it comes to menus, CIQ only has:

- the standard Menu2 view, which provides a full screen menu like the settings menu

- ActionMenu, which provides a menu that slides in from the side and covers half the screen

There's a lot of stuff that the native apps do which can't easily be recreated in CIQ. (Some of it can't be done at all in CIQ.)

Thank you for your information, are they worried that other developers create better apps thamn their own
