Get heart rate/speed/distance/power not in a datafield app

Hello there,

As I'm blocked in my datafield app, I want to be sure that I can't get heart rate/speed/distance/power outside a data field app

You can get all that in a device app.

Thanks jim and how I create a device app with Eclipse?

File>new>Connect IQ Project

And then select "Watch App" as the type. (that's a leftover from the days CIQ was only on watches, but they are really called "Device App" today)

A big thanks to you Jim, I'll have to rewrite my app, though.

Just a question jim_m_58 is it normal that elapsedDistance from activityinfo send a null value even when I simulate data in simulator?

Yes, until you start recording

You really want to null check pretty much everything in getActivityInfo() (same as passed as info to compute)

Good advice, thanks,

For elapsedDistance, I've activated Simulation> FIT data>Simulate Data and nothing happen (for this value only)

Did you start the recording? You can do that by clicking the start button on the device or from the menu data filed>Timer>start activity

The Data field menu is greyed out

See the record sample in the SDK if you're trying to do a recording app.
