Hi Great Explainer, however my menu buttons on the Forerunner 935, to show menu don't work. The only button that works in the dubug mode is Back button, so I can see the blue triangle. Do you know what might be reason that my menu button doesn't work? As the result, I can't see Item1, Item2 menu.

@lessimportantluke Жыл бұрын

Clicking on the button on the simulator did not work for me either, however pressing the 'M' Key on the keyboard will activate the menu.

Try press and hold the button, that's what worked for me

Dude, very helpful. What language do I need to know in order to develop apps?

@volodymyrbudnyi 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks, man! You'll need to use Monkey C, which derives heavily from other popular languages. C, Java™, JavaScript, Python™, Lua, Ruby, and PHP. If you are familiar with any of those languages, Monkey C should be easy to pick up - developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/monkey-c/ Here are also the API docs of the Toybox library which is used for developing Garmin apps - developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/api-docs/

Hello, are you still active? I have the desire to create an application for my Garmin Fenix 5X plus but I have never made an application for a watch and I would like to know how to do it . Could you do some sort of complete tutorial?

@volodymyrbudnyi 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, yup, I'm actvice. Just having some other stuff and have a low priority on this tutorial. But yeah, I'm going to complete this one. Thanks for asking!

@user-fo1jy2io5c 8 ай бұрын

What do you do if it doesn't verify that you downloaded Monkey C correctly? It gave me an error that said "Unable to find java in the path" And has the option button to set Java path, when I press on the button it pops up my saved documents and stuff downloaded on my windows computer, after that I don't know what to do. I would apricate any help. Thanks!

After installing Monkey C VS Code plugin and running "Verify Monkey C installation" I get asked fro the developer key. Where do I get the key from?

Ok. Found out there's an option to "Generate the Key" mentioned few seconds later :D

Whenever I try to "edit products" and I try to search/type the device, it doesn't show up? Nothing shows up. I'm trying to look for a Fenix 6X Pro Solar. I also tried searching for a forerunner like you did but again nothing shows up.

@PhreakDarkSoul Жыл бұрын

I was confused what a "developer k" is, until I noticed you mean "key". ^^ My verification failed, becaues I had no Java Runtime Environment installed. Stupid me... But I thought I will use C# and no Java... I hope I can uninstall it later, because JREs are often unsecure. If you select (for the first time) commands, it would be nice to show the command a few seconds, e. g. at 4:32 It was way to fast to follow the vid without pausing and rewind.
