info.currentCadence refers to bike or run cadence?

Hi!

I would like to know the answer to the question above. If I want my DataField to display cadence, how will it know if it should measure running or cycling cadence?

app for Garmin 920xt

thanks

The value should be correct based on the current activity type.

I believe there is a known issue causing average and max cadence to always return Cycling values (would have to be multiplied by 2 for running).

Actually, based on the activityinfo.currentcadence API, and my own testing of my datafield app, the results coming out from the simulator is the same. It is always the running values (cad > 100)

but when app is uploaded to the watch, it would refer to the correct values.

eg:
Cycling cadence = 90rpm (single leg)
Running Cadence = 180rpm (dual legs)

I'll add a note to look into correcting the simulator values when we correct the average and max.
