• Problems responding to GB messages in a widget

  in Bangle.js • 1 day, 5 hours

  

  You can definitely bind to the event in more places: if (_GB) setTimeout(_GB,0,event); passes on the message after you handle it.
  But Gadgetbridge Music Controls deliberately doesn't pass on music events (to prevent the messages app from loading)

• pop-up notifications from a widget

  in Bangle.js • 1 week

  

  Is there a better way?

  Not really, and you probably need to load() the clock anyway after you're done, because it needs to fully redraw itself.
  The launcher only shows <appid>.app.js files, so you can just add e.g. <appid>.showAlert.js and load(<appid>.showAlert.js).

• Alternative Messages App, and separating Messages/Calls/Music/Maps

  in Bangle.js • 1 week, 2 days

  

  On the one hand, in my fork (still wip) I already changed the library to do Bangle.emit("message", type, event);, so it would be relatively easy to just split it up and do

  Bangle.on("message", (type, msg)=>{
        if (type !== 'text') return;
        // handle text messages here
  });
  

  One problem with splitting it up is that instead of just installing a messaging app, users would need to install 5 apps (also for alarms) to get all notifications (6 if you also count the android library). I think that would get rather messy even before you get multiple alternatives for each.

  On the other hand, I think it would indeed clean things up a fair bit to properly split the code, although switching between e.g. playing music and incoming messages might become less smooth.

• Using setInterval to update scroller items

  in Bangle.js • 1 week, 3 days

  

  This should work with the latest firmware:

  
      var list = [];
      list[0] = 10;
      list[1] = 20;
      list[2] = 30;
      list[3] = 40;
      list[4] = 50;
      list[5] = 60;
      list[6] = 70;
      var s = E.showScroller({
        h : 40, c : list.length,
        draw : (idx, r) => {
          g.clearRect(r.x,r.y,r.x+r.w-1,r.y+r.h-1)­;
          g.setFont("6x8:2").drawString(list[idx],­r.x+10,r.y+4);
        },
        select : (idx) => console.log("You selected ", idx)
        }
      );
    setInterval(function(){
        list = list.map(i => i-1);
        s.draw();
    }, 1000);
  

• Module [font] not found

  in Bangle.js • 2 weeks

  

  The fonts (and most other modules) aren't built-in to the watch: when you do require("Font8x12"), the uploader is smart enough to figure out you want to use Font8x12, and includes it in-line with the uploaded code.
  But the uploader isn't smart enough to figure out which module to include for require(<variable>).

• is it my eyesight or have all the app screenshots (bottom right) on the loader gone fuzzy ?

  in Bangle.js • 2 weeks

  

  Well, there definitely is a difference between Firefox and Chrome now (see attachments), so I actually wouldn't be too surprised if Chrome did change something.

• Detect charging or on wrist

  in Bangle.js • 2 weeks

  

  For charging there is Bangle.isCharging.
  "Not on a wrist" is tricky, but I guess you could use the accelerometer and check if there is no movement for a certain period. Maybe even check for x and y being zero if you always place it face up/down.

• Memory full, fifo error

  in Bangle.js • 2 weeks, 1 day

  

  The last time I tracked down a memory leak, this tool was very helpful.

  it feels like maybe there are more important things for everyone to work on fixing than whether the version numbers start with 1 or 0.

  You're probably right, as for showing the date: PR with last update in hover
