Intuitive Alternative to Eclipse?

Former Member
Former Member
I've been playing around with Eclipse for some time now, and have taken some examples from GitHub to learn from and alter. Finding however that it seems to be quite a bit over my head. Wondering (shamelessly) if there might be some sort of GUI alternative, or easier way to get into learning to program for this platform. Really would just like to make my own watch face.

Thanks!
  • Outside eclipse (command line or a different IDE) it will probably be more complex, especially things like setting targets/permissions, trying app settings, etc., and there is some help when editing if your perspective (under "Widows" on the menu bar) is set to Connect IQ.

    One suggestion, is you may want to start with very small simple things. There are a number in the samples directory in the SDK, for watchfaces and other things. Also, in Eclipse, if you do a "File>New>Connect IQ Project", it will create a very simple and working sample or all 4 types of apps, complete with it's own unique manifest ID.
