Comm.transmit not working in Garmin Edge

Former Member over 7 years ago

It's weird but "Comm.transmit(dict, null, listener);" not working in Garmin Edge (520, 820, 1000, 1030). I'm getting:

Could not find symbol transmit.
Symbol Not Found Error

In Forerunners and Fenix it's working good. Any idea?

Check the changelog in the readme file in the SDK for version 2.2.2.

Remove support for communicating with the mobile Connect IQ SDK in the API for Edge, Oregon, and Rino devices.

It was removed, but I don't recall why

Thank you! Do you know if there is any way to send information to the mobile in real time without using Comm.transmit?

There isn't really any way to do this on these devices. You could post something to a server using makeWebRequest, and monitor that state from the mobile phone application.

I suspect it was because the mobile SDK is for BLE connections and those devices don't support BLE but instead use a full BT 2.1 +EDR connection. Which should be much faster.

Finally the solution has been to create a web server in the phone application and send the data each second from the Edge with Comm.makeWebRequest.

If Garmin remove support for communicating, why they have not added a new solution? after a month of developing on this platform, I think they are a bit of a bit of sloppy compared to other platforms.
