System menu

dcmarti
I've searched the forum and scanned samples but couldn't find solution for a menu which will imitate build in menus for widgets.

I'm looking for possibility to set things on/off (with green indicator on right) or to show chosen item below menu entry (with smaller font). Both solutions are available for widget Steps in settings menu I can choose status on/off with both green indicator and status below.

Second question - in menu of a widget I have system entries: change order, remove , add widget, history and settings. How can I add those entries to my widget?

    Yep, the menus for the system widgets on the Forerunner 235 look much better than the SDK's narrow Picker menu options. I wonder if this can be done somehow?

    Yes. You can write your own menu implementation.

    Ok, understood. But if there is already API which does that then why not to use it? And still I don't know how to mimic for example widget reorder functionality - even with my own implementation.
  • You can use menus within your own app for things that your app needs to do that have the same look and feel as the System menus, but you can't access things on the actual system menus to change settings for the watch, etc.

    It sounds like from within your widget you want to change the order of the widget loop, and that's something you can't do.
