Finding size of storage remaining

Former Member over 7 years ago

Hi! So I'm new to developing for Connect IQ. I'm trying to make an app that stores the data it collects onto a fit file, but I wanted to have it check to see if there's space remaining on the watch before doing so. If it is almost out of space, I was going to have it automatically offload the entire fit file onto another device.

My question is, is there any way to determine the amount of storage remaining on the device? The device in question is a Forerunner 920XT. I tried checking the API for ConnectIQ, but could only find functions dealing with the remaining memory of the app I'm running. I'm assuming I'm out of luck here, but was hoping I'm wrong.

Either way, thanks in advance!

This, too be honest, is something you don't have to think or worry about at all. The actual recording of a .fit is done by the firmware. Disk management is also done there. If you can't write, neither can the firmware and it will take the actions needed.

In general on a watch, if space is getting tight, your oldest .fit files in activity will start to get deleted. You won't even notice when that happens.

That's what I gathered so far, but I was still hoping to avoid this scenario if possible... Thank you!
