  • RE: Communication directly via WiFi

    AlphaMonkeyC
    AlphaMonkeyC
    It's a matter of resources on the device, power usage, and possible usability issues with using WIFI when you can't configure hotspots on the device. I think the Apple Watch will have your current WIFI hotspot on your iPhone (and the credentials) sent…

    Short answer: we can't change everything overnight. :-)

    Long answer: Connect IQ is a first step towards steering the ship towards more open waters, but the ship turns at the speed it turns. I believe a successful Connect IQ will help change in how…

  • fix documentation of min api level in Activity.SPORT_* and SUB_SPORT_*

    flocsy🤠

    The current documentation (both in SDK 7.x, 8.x) for Activity lists that Activity.SPORT_GENERIC was added to the SDK at api level 3.2.0. While I understand that this is the historic fact, I think it's misleading. The documentation of ActivityRecording…

    I tried your "Simple Big" watch face and surprisingly, I see the exact same effect as with the template.

    It turns black immediately at the shortes swipe gesture already, actually even before the menu is partially visible.

    I don't think…

  • The new ResourceId type for resources in sdk-7 is a breaking change

    markw65
    markw65

    For example, if you have an Array of string ids, prior to sdk-7 you would have to declare and use it like this:

    var strings as Array<Symbol> =
        [Rez.Strings.S1, Rez.Strings.S2] as Array<Symbol>;
    
    var string as String = WatchUi.loadResource(strings…

    Maybe it points to how the gear selection process in the Connect app is abysmal

    But that would not explain why Gear information is not saved explicitly in activity FIT file.

    No, I meant that users want gear selection on the…

  • continue in a switch statement behaves surprisingly

    markw65
    markw65

    I had a switch statement inside a loop, and expected that continue would go to the next iteration of the loop. But instead, it restarts the switch. This might actually be useful behavior, and I seem to remember at least one other language that did something…

  • Bug: dc.drawArc() when trying to draw arc less than 1 deg starting from 0 draws whole circle

    6261218
    6261218

    Doing:

    dc.drawArc(
              _centerX,
              _centerY,
              _radius,
              Graphics.ARC_CLOCKWISE,
              0.0, // degreeStart 
              0.5 // degreeEnd
            );

    This ends up with the whole 360deg arc being drawn instead.
    I'd assume that the arguments are Math.floored and…

  • RE: Static Variables?

    Former Member
    Former Member

    My experience is that indeed "static" can not be used at function scope. There is directly a translation-error.

    If I declare a variable at class scope without "static" ,  the variable can be used in different member functions of the…

    Thank you for taking the time to reply! The functionality is working as expected - no complaints there. It is just that the feature seems to increase the power-draw significantly. Of approx. 20%/day on my Fenix7s the elephant in the room - makeWebRequest…
