Bugs using bitmap resources

I wanted to post something here, but I was getting this message:

Error while saving content: SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unexpected identifier "Please"

EDIT: it worked when I separated "bug 1" and "bug 2" (see below). The content was exactly the same :-|

HINT (to forum admins): The word "Please" was not included in my text. So it must in the forum's code.

Bug 1:
- not a big deal, but I thought it could be nice to share -

I have a watch face which loads bitmap resources. If I click "run" on Eclipse with the simulator closed, the bitmap colors are not correctly loaded - or maybe I should say "mapped" - when the simulator opens. If the simulator is already open, then the colors are OK. This only happens with a few devices - e.g. FR235.

Bug 2:

According to reports I received from some users, my watch face "Christmas Theme" was crashing on Forerunner 235. They sent me the CIQ_LOG file and the error displayed was "Invalid Resource Specified".

The logic concerning resources is the same for all watches and the error would not appear on the simulator. It worked fine on every watch in the sim and on all watches I tested: VivoActive HR and Fenix 5S Plus.

The problem was "solved" when I excluded the "palette" from the bitmap in the resource file.

The code which gave an error was this:

<resources>
    <bitmap id="id_santa" filename="drawables/santa.png" dithering="none" >
        <palette disableTransparency="false">
            <color>000000</color>
            <color>555555</color>
            <color>AAAAAA</color>
            <color>FFFFFF</color>
        </palette>
    </bitmap>
</resources>

I believe that program stopped on WatchUi.loadResource or on dc.drawBitmap.

I hope this information is enough for you to reproduce it.

If you don't believe me, ok nevermind. I don't have a device that gives the error, so I can't reproduce.

r.485 ,

We're still unable to reproduce this in house, even on a device. I'm going to close this for now. If we still get reports, let us know and we can look at it again.

Thanks,

r.485,

I wasn't able to reproduce bug number 1 with a watchface that simply displays a bitmap. I used the 235 as this one has given us the most trouble in your cases. If you want to send us a reproducing project file, then we can take another look. For right now, I'll close the ticket. I do believe you, but I don't have something to work with yet.

Thanks,
-Coleman
