• recommended approach to generalising code with variables that must be assigned by the user

  in Bangle.js • 7 months

  

  I think you want to add a custom.html: that can open a dialog when uploading the app, ask for those settings, and send them to the watch.

  Looks like hasensors does pretty much the thing you want: asks for a bunch of values, then replaces {placeholders} in the code. (Except you probably don't need boot.js, and want to adjust your app.js instead of using a separate lib.js file)

• Set a clock as default from outside the settings?

  in Bangle.js • 7 months, 1 week

  

  Sure, for example the Clock Switcher app does this.

  The Updating boot0... is because bootupdate.js rewrites boot0.js whenever settings.json changed, that happens automatically, no need to do it yourself.
  And I think clockHasWidgets is updated automatically by bootloader.js, so you only need to update clock in settings.json.

• [solved] Menus: Is it possible to force the drag up/down selection for small numbers?

  in Bangle.js • 10 months, 1 week

  

  Looks like you can set noList:true: https://github.com/espruino/Espruino/blob/f322090963674c95cd8cc8038be536e0014b03b4/libs/js/banglejs/E_showMenu_Q3.js#L24

• What do you use your Bangle.js for?

  in Bangle.js • 11 months, 1 week

  

  Mostly for looking at things without needing to get my phone out:

  • Date + time
    
  • Notifications
    
  • Currently playing song / adjust volume
    
  • Weather
    
    

  I've made a list of installed apps

• Ethics / convention - compressed code

  in Bangle.js • 1 year

  

  I think it's important to consider what happens when someone else wants/needs¹ to modify your code: just having to worry about minification is a hassle, but if really necessary it should at least be reproducible: that way somebody can check they got the minification right before even making changes, so they know any (new) bugs aren't caused by getting the minification wrong.

  ¹. It doesn't happen often anymore, but sometimes e.g. library code needs a fix that also requires all the apps using it to be updated.

• Standard behavior for the messages app to not show the name of the sender?

  in Bangle.js • 1 year

  

  I'm not sure, but if it did change, it might have something to do with this Gadgetbridge commit?

• is the "back" widget always the left most widget? the app widget editor seems have no effect on it.

  in Bangle.js • 1 year, 1 month

  

  Editing the "back" widget would be tricky: it's not loaded like regular widgets, but hardcoded to be inserted as the first widget by the setUI code.

• How to make delays ?

  in Bangle.js • 1 year, 2 months

  

  You can use setTimeout:

  read_heading();
  setTimeout(send_vibration, 300); // No brackets() after send_vibration!
  

• What happens after app is closed

  in Bangle.js • 1 year, 2 months

  

  1. There is E.on('kill')
     
  2. No, providing an appID means "I need the GPS to stay on until I turn it off", omitting it means "Turn the GPS on now, until anything turns it off"
     
  3. Apart from the active app, widgets and/or boot apps could be using the GPS.
     
• Rounding Numbers Failing

  in Bangle.js • 1 year, 4 months

  

  It breaks because Espruino doesn't support default parameter values, round(6800971.33999999985, 2) works though.
