I developed a clock app and was taking some screenshots for the app loader, however when I load the app in the emulator no widgets are shown (I am loading the widgets in the app and they do show on my bangle.js 2 device).

I see other people have screenshots of their clock that show the widgets. What is the best way to load them in the emulator?

Not sure if that is possible.

I usually install the app on my watch, connect through the ide and run g.dump() on the left hand side.

oh g.dump() works great! Didn't know that existed, thank you!

Yes, g.dump() wasn't possible on Bangle.js 1 because there was no readback, but it's really handle on Bangle.js 2.

For the emulator, do Bangle.factoryReset() which will load default apps/widgets in, and then when you upload your app you'll get widgets too :)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
