    Selecting a team on Vivoactive

    There was an app review stating that it is not possible to select a team on Vivoactive. I've only tested this in the simulator and team selection works by pressing the upper [edit:]right button. Can anyone verify if this is working? Should I also enable other menu/buttons on this device?

    The va has a touch screen. The upper left button is the backlight and not seen by CIQ, and the upper right is the "start" button. On screen is are touch "back" and "menu" buttons. You do have swipes and screen taps, but by default, with widgets , right/left swipes just change to a different widget.


    I have an app where I scroll though a list by using touch region taps (there are 9 on a va) to scroll up and down a list if that helps. (and the simulator is different in how you see the position of screen taps (you see exact x/y), and is different than the real device (you see the center of the tap region, IIRC))

    Thanks. I meant to write "upper right" button, but wrote "upper left". Corrected this in my post now. Seems like I will have to try to also capture the "Menu" button for Vivoactive then.

    Fenix 3 now working

    Fenix 3 now working, but vertical rectangle displaying name of team for selection makes it harder to read team name (but not impossible). A horizontal rectangle would seem like a more logical display element?

    Is it possible to make the font on the main display slightly finer and/or smaller to improve readability?

    Fenix 3, SW 5.10, Display 2.90, Connect IQ 1.2.1
  • Hi,

    same on Forerunner 630, horizontal rectangle would be better :)

    Thanks for the feedback :)

    Yes, I've been trying to find a horizontal display for the team picker, but I have not found anything in the documentation/forums yet. I'll try to post a separate thread to investigate this.
    As for fonts, I also think that they should display finer as they are a bit coarse/edgy now. I'll continue trying to improve this. Other suggestions for better layout and display of the information is appreciated.

    Thanks. If anyone wants to contribute with translations for any language, here is how to help:

    You can either:
    a) Translate this xml string resource (https://github.com/hakonrossebo/FootballFixtures/blob/LanguageTranslations/resources-eng/strings.xml)
    and send me a PM or email to hakonrossebo(at)hotmail(.)com

    or b)
    fork my project on GitHub - https://github.com/hakonrossebo/FootballFixtures. I've already created a branch called LanguageTranslations - and create a resource folder with language suffix (http://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/programmers-guide/appendices/) with the translated file. Then send me a pull request.
  • Vivoactive time out?

    Vivoactive sometimes times out when switching team.

    After selecting the team the screen display "Loading" and then "Finished NextFixtures".

    The screen stays on "Finished NextFixtures" until the watch reverts to the watch display after some time.

    When you go back to the app the new team is not updated with the old one not being displayed.

    With perseverance I can get it to change to a few different teams after several attempts, but have not been able to get it to switch to "Southampton" which is the only one I'm really interested in.

    Hopefully you can fix this.

    Thanks

    Hi, I've updated the widget now, fixing some date and parsing issues. This issue should have been resolved now.
