Widget Problem

I tried creating a simple weather widget which runs fine in the sim, but when I build project for device and then click the up button on my watch all I see is the ConnectIQ logo with an exclamation point. I get my "loading" text if I remove my makeJsonRequest call.

I do have the following in my manifest:

<iq:permissions>
<iq:uses-permission id="Communications"/>
</iq:permissions>

I am not sure if this is a bug, or just my stupidity. Has anyone successfully created and deployed a widget with makeJsonRequest to a 920xt?

The exclamation graphic indicates that your app crashed. If you create the file "CIQ_LOG.TXT" inside the GARMIN/APPS/LOGS folder, you should get a crash log for this error, which should help track it down.

Thanks Brian,

I created the log file and got this:

in C:\Projects\Personal\Dev\Garmin\testwidget\source\testwidgetView.mc (onLayout:23)
TVM ERROR:
Symbol Not Found Error
Failed invoking <symbol>

TVM ERROR:
Symbol Not Found Error
failed in cdp_tvm_invoke

That line is as follows:

Comm.makeJsonRequest("api.openweathermap.org/.../weather",

             {"id"=>"6324733"}, {}, method(:onReceive));

I also have a callback method defined as follows:

function onReceive(responseCode, data)

I have imported the following:

using Toybox.Communications as Comm;

using Toybox.WatchUi as Ui;

using Toybox.Graphics;

using Toybox.System as Sys;

Any ideas?

Well... it appears the Comm APIs did not get turned on in the FR920XT. I will try to make sure they are enabled for the next release.
