Question about custom fit fields

Former Member over 8 years ago

Hi! I'm developing an app that uses custom fit fields and wish to display them in graphs once they're uploaded to Garmin Connect. The fit files my app produces all seem to contain the data I want, but no graphs are displayed. Is it possible to even display custom fit fields in a graph or am I out of luck?

Here's a sample of what one of my fit fields look like:

<fitField id="0" displayInChart="true" sortOrder="0" precision="0"
            displayInActivitySummary="true" displayInActivityLaps="true"
            chartTitle="@Strings.fitField0" dataLabel="@Strings.fitField0"
            unitLabel="@Strings.fitUnits0" fillColor="#FFFFFF"/>

Thanks in advance!

When you do an app with custom fit data, there's only two ways to see a graph - monkeyGraph on your PC, or to have it in the app store, so Garmin Connect/Garmin Connect Mobile know how the data is to be displayed.

You may want to upload your app to the store, but mark it so that only you can downloaded it.

Here's a developer blog post as how to do that. It's basically just a checkbox when you upload a new app.
