RE: App size and resources

jim_m_58

If your program loads the resources, then yes. So if you have 50 strings, for example, and load all 50 at once, they take memory for all 50. But if you only load a string when you use it and free it when you're done, it uses less memory (at least that…

RE: SensorHistory works with Fenix 3?

jim_m_58

The doc for SH is a bit strange, in that it uses "Since 2.1.0", but has devices like the f3-hr and D2 Dravo Titanium for getHeartRateHistory() which aren't 2.x, but doesn't have the Fenix chronos which should be supported (it's 2.x and has WHR)…

RE: Access to Settings/Menu from Connect IQ widget

jim_m_58

When the va first came out you could access the native widgets while running a CIQ device app, but that's the only device I've seen it on, and it was turned off on the va. It was nice as you could access things like the music controls while running a…

RE: FitContributor - Is the data recognised by 3rd Party Sites? eg: Trainer Power

danielp27
I had the same question. i am doing my own app, although i am not ready yet for testing. I think it might be supported by the 3rd party site, if:
- you are using :nativeNum attribute ( as moxy app does, for instance) and
- the 3rd party site supports FIT2.…

RE: watch app - Time and Tempe

jim_m_58

One question: why are the 24 hour max/min values only store from when the app is running? I thought that the Tempe transmits these values along with current temperature, so shouldn't this data be available regardless of whether the Tempe is connected…

RE: Type of sport in activity recording session

matcora

Thank you TRAVIS.VITEK for your answer.

The point is there is more type of sports in this world than in the Connect IQ ActivityRecording class. And you never know what to expect. Maybe someone will invent a new sport called "badminton in high altitude…

Non-volatile storage?

zizu82

Hi there
I'm new on this forum.
Planning to write some code but I have some concerns maybe you could help me clarify.
Trying to figure out if there is any way I could store some small amount of data in kind of non-volatile storage that is kept between…

RE: noob: drawing vertical text

travis.vitek

There are sample programs that show how to use layouts. The Layout sample would be a good place to start.

Personally, I'd just use a layout until I couldn't do it because of memory constraints. This is by far the easiest to get right and to tweak, but…

RE: CIQ apps being "blamed" for GPS fix time

jim_m_58

I know... It seems that there is a bit of misunderstanding there! When I first got the 3.30 FW update for the VA, it took a long time to get a GPS fix, but simply rebooting the va (to flush the GPS cache) was all it took, and I've posted that.

It…

RE: Share real device testing

Brandon.ConnectIQ

I think having a beta feature on the app store is the ideal solution here (aside from improving the simulator). I know a lot of developers are really after an emulator which is not the intent behind the simulator. There are device emulators that exist…
