• Implement simple feature on all Garmin models

    Hi to all,

    I guess this is not the proper place to write, but I have to start from somewhere. It seems to me that there is a very basic missing feature that many users complain about. This is transversal to many Garmin model.
    To summarize, as I read, many…

  • Rendering WatchFace background screen

    Hi!

    I am new to programming Garmin watches so I started with a simple watch face. However, I am already stuck with the best way to create an energy efficient layout. I hoped to find a simple method how to set a static background and dynamic layers. Instead…

  • Better app settings

    If you design a highly customisable app/watchface it's impossible to create good structured settings UI. A Dynamic UI would be great but I think following would already be a good improvement:

    • support headers
    • support groups that will open a sub settings…
  • I'd like a notification that WatchUi.animate won't complete

    I added a simple WatchUi.Text animation to my glance view.  No animation updates occur when simulating a Fenix 6.  The animate callback is not invoked at any time.  In the simulator a Fenix 6 Pro does animate in the glance view.  I released an update to my…

  • RE: Weird issue with using float variable in settings?

    Long story short:

    1) The Garmin Connect app has a known bug/quirk where float settings are returned as strings. IIRC this happens on Android but not iOS. Who knows what the Connect IQ app is doing.... >_>

    2) It's impossible to tell from just System…

  • Blood pressure?

    (couldn't move from another forum...)

    A friend has recently showed me his fitness tracker. I was shocked to find his was able to "measure" BP, while my FR935 cannot - nor can the newly introduced FR945 or Fenix 6. Mind you: the FR/Fenix are 10x the…

  • RE: Would you like some Pi with your app?

    On the CIQ side, there are a couple samples in the 3.1,0 beta SDK that talk to the Nordic Thingy52.  On the pi side, I found a 3 year old page with a sample to install.  It was a bit outdated when it came to versions, and the steps required.  Yesterday I…

  • RE: Unexpected exception from Application.Properties.setValue on Fenix 5X

    I haven't tried creating that minimal test version unfortunately. If another developer has a Fenix 5X or a D2 Charlie and is prepared to test some versions I can certainly make some builds and try some more tests - but about 10 different things come to…

  • Eclipse Plugin: Default launch config dialog cut off on HiDPI (Retina) displays

    On a Windows 10 PC with a HiDPI/Retina display, the default launch configuration dialog (*) is cut off, leaving the OK and Cancel buttons inaccessible. As far as I can tell, this dialog is not resizable, either (not that I think it should be.)

    (*) The…
  • RE: Simulator Randomizer

    jim_m_58 case in point, I have a datafield which is right against the memory limit in CIQ2. In the sim, if I max out memory usage by enabling certain features, then send new settings twice, it will crash for sure. Only in the simulator.

    On the real device…
