• RE: how to exit app and end activity only when holding the A and B button on a Venu sq

    jim_m_58 is right that in *general* you don't want to rely on detecting long button holds or button combos, because depending on device functionality or user configuration, your app may be unable to detect certain combos (and the sim doesn't reflect this…

  • RE: Having trouble with date picker in phone settings

    TL;DR I agree dates should be stored and interpreted in a timezone-agnostic manner, in general. One way could be ISO-8601 format (but date only): e.g. “2022-01-01”. *Given* that Garmin chose to store dates as UNIX timestamps, the direction they’ve gone…

  • Glance mode widget: please allow popView() at top level (for parity with non-glance widget UX)

    Hi,

    I've recently started to adapt a stopwatch widget of mine for glance mode. Currently I don't own a glance-enabled watch, so I can only test this in the sim (CIQ SDK 3.2.3, Windows/Eclipse).

  • Are you enjoying your Connect IQ enabled device more compared to earlier devices?

    I am just curious how other people see this. For me personally, while writing little apps and widgets in Monkey C is kind of fun, the large number of traditional garmin features that have been removed from the fenix 3 and all connect iq devices compared…

  • RE: Get the Connect IQ 6.2.2 SDK

    For what it's worth, my SDK Manager auto-updated to 1.0.6 and I didn't get any virus warnings. This is the case on both Windows 10 and Windows 11 for me. (Windows Security is definitely enabled - it's scanning and blocking potentially harmful apps on…
