Changing a session's (sub)activity?

How would I change an activity during a recording? From the API, it looks like you can only set the sport when calling createSession()

Also, I'm a little confused how to record information, is it done automatically when there's an active session?
ie, I enable the GPS and createSession, and it'll store all GPS positions until session.stop()?

Thanks

There isn't any way to change the activity type or sub-type after calling createSession().

I'm currently experimenting with the ActivityRecording module, and it does appear that you have to enable sensors to get data from them. Essentially, if you enable the sensor and start recording, the sensor data will be written to the .FIT file.

So if you did want to create a multisport recording, you basically have to save them as seperate FIT/session files? Seems a bit of a shame

Thanks for letting me know how the recording bit works, I've not had chance to play with it yet

You are correct. Multi-sport recording is not supported in ConnectIQ at this time.

Okay, thanks for the confirmation.

Does multisport work on latest version? Can't get it working with:
Record.createSession({:name=>"Swim", :sport=>Record.SPORT_MULTISPORT, :subSport=>Record.SUB_SPORT_OPEN_WATER });

It works on simulator, but fails on Fenix 3.
