• RE: VS Code extremely slow

    I was on 1.8.0_442. Can try to do the latest 1.8 build and report back.

    So, you mean you tried both Amazon Corretto 21 and 1.8.0_442?

    Can you try https://adoptium.net/ (Temurin 21)? Since it's also based on OpenJDK 21, I don't see why it would…

  • Background app - memory consumption - device comparing to simulator

    I'm using currently CIQ 3 latest beta - so maybe something still can be reviewed?
    The issue I'm facing is related to memory. Background process is so tight on memory that I'm really balancing on a line.

    As I'm making request through makeWebRequest…
  • RE: App Settings always consume memory at runtime

    P.S. Simplified suggestion would be something like do not save property values related to application settings on application exit, this way developer would be able to free memory by assignment of empty strings or nulls.


    The loads and saves are done behind…
  • RE: How to write Connect IQ unit tests

    I really like your tutorial. I also hope it will inspire other developers!

    I develop my Connect IQ widget mostly in TDD mode. What I learned from your tutorial is how to easily separate the tests in another project. Right now, my tests are in the same…

    I agree, that letting service run in background is not the most efficient way to handle watch calls battery wise, in Android Wear we have WearableListenerService for this, which is actually a receiver contrary to it's name, but I doubt that this techinque…

    Hi programmers,

    would anybody be willing and able to program a data field for the Forerunner 735XT (and maybe other watches that support pool swimming) that calculates a moving average pace value over multiple (ideally: a configurable number of) lengths…
  • Entering negative numbers in settings on GCM (Android)

    Entering a negative number in settings (for a Connect IQ app) on GCM using Android is 'kind of' broken. I know that this is an issue with GCM (and maybe should go into the GCM formum) but because it affects Connect IQ apps I'm hoping that the Garmin Connect…
  • RE: Communications transmit queue full

    I am pretty sure this limitation only applies to transmissions from the device to the phone. As long as you don't transmit() more than 3 messages before you get onComplete() responses, I don't think you should see this warning in the log. You should…
  • RE: ConnectIQ Support For ANT+FE or FIT Access

    Thanks for the feedback, I probably wasn't the most clear in my request since my understanding is the same as yours. I was looking for information on if I would be wasting my time starting on something like this because: (A) they are going to bring back…
  • Do Menus Work?

    Former Member
    Former Member
    I'm looking through the docs and I think a menu might be the right thing for a certain part of my app. I at least wanted to try them out, but the docs are completely incorrect and I've gotten far enough that I think I'm blocked.

    Let's start…
