RE: FIT SDK 21.188.00 Release

Eli FIT — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 19:40:27 GMT

The Java SDK has been published and is now available in Maven Central.

The Java SDK can be accessed in Maven Central here: https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/com.garmin/fit

Please note that the Java SDK is not available in Maven Central yet. We are working on it.

Removed an unnecessary call to stream.reset() in the Decoder read() function.

This was in fact necessary if you want to read the stream more than once. I do exactly that, I call the read function with different arguments to extract different activity properties.

Wow! New updates in one device.

RE: IMPORTANT! FIT Activity File Message Change

Herb — Wed, 13 Dec 2023 11:59:59 GMT

I wonder if there's a reliable way to distinguish the two different variants at the start, before starting to process record messages. The best way I figured out so far is to look at the sequence of messages before the first

Event: FIT_EVENT_TIMER; Type: FIT_EVENT_TYPE_START

message. If there was an activity message followed by a bunch of session messages before that event, then the file apparently is in summary first format, otherwise it is processed as it was before.

Is there a more reliable way to tell?

Regards

Herb

Is there a way to

- Configure existing Fit files from summary last to summary first?

- Configure some incoming fit file (before Dec 1st, 2023) to be summary first? (for some user)

My goal is to test if our new implementation can resolve the summary first well enough

Could you please provide the same example file but coded with the "Summary Last" method in order to ensure that the results are the same for a given platform ?
Thanks

Please let me know if you think an ENCODER will be developed for this sdk. We're leveraging the decoder, but an encoder would be helpful as well. Thanks for the great work!

Thanks that's a step forward. Now could you please also post the FIT SDK Java fit.jar file in the Maven Repository so that we can use it as a Maven build dependency? Maven is the standard build tool for most Java projects. Since the fit.jar file isn't posted there it forces everyone to manually download the SDK before running a build.

RE: FIT SDK 21.60.00 Release

DR — Sat, 23 Oct 2021 14:08:51 GMT

sorry for hijacking this thread, I have a few questions:

- Is the FIT SDK open source and/or available in other languages?

- How can new manufacturers/devices be added?

bonjour

Suite à un courriel adressé à product.support@garmin.com, on me dit de contacter "devolopeur"...le forum est vaste et je ne sais pas si ici c'est le bon endroit mais...voir ci-dessous mail transmit concernant livetrack:

Bien à vous!

Bonjour quand on mets en route l'enregistrement de notre parcours / trace, il y a un enregistrement pour la sécurité en cas de problème. Mais:

1) pourquoi pas de message d'alerte lors de la fin de l'activité?

2) (plus important pour nous) pourquoi GARMIN ne donne pas une alerte quand il y a perte du signal GPS??? Si pas de signal = pas de position exacte en cas de problème et les secours auront du mal à nous trouver!! Il arrive souvent en trail ou SKI rando d'être dans des passages sans GPS ou bien nos téléphones coupent celui-ci pour diverse raison: une alerte ( VIBRATION/BIP...etc) de GARMIN serait TOP!

Looks like the link to download from https://developer.garmin.com/fit/overview/ is broken

It links to http://developer.ola.cf.garmin.com/fit/download/ which gives a 404

(The link above is fine, I was just trying to find it from the website [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8]

Thanks
