No property default values in the App Settings Editor

Former Member over 8 years ago

I'm having some trouble to implement the color changing property in the properties.xml / settings.xml / strings.xml . For some reason, some property values have its defaults in the 'App Settings Editor' and some properties don't. They just do not appear as Default (blanked space), so the watch face do not know which color to choose.

Once I start the 'App Settings Editor', change some properties and press 'Send Settings', everthing is working well. The same problem appears, when I download the watch face for the first time from the connect iq store to the device. Whats wrong with the code? Any help is welcome.

Greetings.

I don't see any pictures. What you can try is using code tags and post the filles (open sq bracket)code(close sq bracket) , the file contents, and the same but with /code at the end.

Hi Mr GreenBean,

Your default values need to be an available option in your list. I suggest you change your list entries values to the actual color values (ex: black 0x000000, white to 0xFFFFFF, etc...). Then it should work.

Hope this help!

Cheers

You have a mismatch between what you set as a default for the property, and the values you have for the list entries.

for example for the BackgroundColour property, you set a default of 0xFFFFFF, but in your listEntry data they are sequential fro 0x000000 to 0x000015. Looks like you're mixing the color's RBG with an index

so if you wanted a default of white for the background, you'd have something like

<property id="BackgroundColour" type="number">0x000001</property>

or you change the listEntry for white to 0xFFFFFF instead of 0x000001

Thats it! I corrected the mismatch, so that the default values in properties.xml have the same entries as the list entries in the settings.xml . Now everthing works fine. Thanks a lot. Greetings :)
