Getting started with Comms.

Former Member over 6 years ago

Hi.
I've developed a golf app on my vivoactive watch which stores all of the information I need (strokes, stableford points, etc - for each hole) from a particular round of golf.
I would like to transfer this data to a computer for further analysis.
I've tried to understand how comms are implemented using CIQ but have failed at the first hurdle !!

Basically, I can't understand the instructions included with the downloaded Mobile SDK (MobileSDK.html) where it states,
"To begin using the Mobile SDK in your own project, copy the connectiq.jar file into the libs folder of your Android project."

There is already a connectiq.jar file in the libs folder, but I don't know where to start with building the Android App and installing it on my phone.

I have previously built and installed Apps to my phone, which were simply *.apk files, so I don't understand the file structure in the Mobile SDK.

Can anyone help please?
Regards

While I can't answer your question, I'll step back a bit and ask if you've looked at FitContributor. Add your data to the .fit file, which gets synced to Garmin Connect as a normal thing..

No need to mess with a companion app that way...

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out.

I've had a look at FitConributor but I don't think it helps me. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
What I'm really looking for is Step-By-Step instructions for running the Comm sample in connectiq-sdk-win-..... on an Android phone.

I've downloaded the Mobile SDK. but the instructions don't tell me what to do with it?
All it says is put the .jar file in the lib folder in your Android Project. How? Where?

The install and run instructions for the ConnectIQ SDK are great, but I'm missing something in the MobileSDK.
