How to detect if LTE is connected for a watch face icon

[jim_m_58]

This is why a simple test case can come in handy!

[jim_m_58]

So in simple terms, you're proposing something like CONNECT_STATE_ON in connectionInfo?

[jim_m_58]

before spending too much time, you may want to throw together something really simple to see how CONNECTION_STATE_NOT_INITIALIZED works on a device. It...

Again, with a watch face that wants to be as battery cheap as possible, with your code, I'd just check "hasConnectionInfo" before calling the...

With a watchface, devs tend to want to be as battery friendly as possible, as it does run all day. Doing the has check in initialize is a way to call...

"has" is an expensive operation - it's got to scan a dictionary each time. That's why I separate the "has" check for something that's...

You can't detect that headphones are connected from CIQ. The Bluetooth info is only being connected to the phone

[jim_m_58]

If you want all the states it's an easy change:

         function lteState() {
            var state=null;
            var ci=System.getDeviceSettings().connectionInfo[:lte];

With the va3 Music LTE, I put together a small function see if LTE is connected, as you can do with phoneCommetect for a Bluetooth connection.

Edge devices are different, as the whole device will enter a sleep mode or turn itself all the way off, with no user action required.

[jim_m_58]

Small tweaks are needed at times. That's a nice thing about the fonts being constant on each device. New FW won't break those tweaks.

There...

[jim_m_58]

The fonts on the device won't change, and therefore, the FONT_* and FONT_NUMBER_* fonts won't change. For this to occur, all the native screens on a...

[jim_m_58]

Good catch on the FONT_* vs FONT_NUMBER_*.

But on the font height, what you see is correct. The characters in that font might not use the...

It can only broadcast with ANT.

[jim_m_58]

By the way, something you can try, is instead of using a top height for the font as "y", is use y+fontHeight/2, and then TEXT_JUSTIFY_VCENTER...

[jim_m_58]

What you might be seeing is some fonts (number fonts are most common) have extra white space at the top. Try drawing a line across the screen where you...

Vald - FONT_* are different between different devices. The font itself can be different, the height and width, the "boldness", etc.

735 is like the other semi-round, and Chronos is like the f5s, and f3hr and d2 Bravo like the f3, and D2 Charlie/Delta and mk1 like the f5x.

I think it's because you don't have View in the delegate - so, View.findDrawableById is throwing the correct error. You'd also get an error on the setColor....

"has" has to look at a dictionary to see if something is there, so it's not a simple thing. That's why I do that in initialize. Its' the same...
