I am using the Small Box Complication as a tap target only (setting the opacity to 0%). How can I hide the Small Box Complication when the Unread Count is >=1? Since there are no ‘Tags’ available for X/Y position to move it off the screen is there any other way to accomplish this?
Another quick question - is the ‘Calendar app’ a universal app on all watches? If so a shape with an ‘Action’ could also be a possibility since shapes allow ‘Tags’ to be added?
Thanks in advance!
Hi, why would u want to move it off screen?
Calendar app there 2 samsung and google calender. What are u trying to archive here?
(Try to find the action id for calendar app)
And what do u mean no “tag” available for x/y.
U can use tags for x and y position.
And hidding you can use this too
With a tag expressions
UNREAD_NC
Using this formula
(([UNREAD_NC]>0)?100:0)
Hello @Knightwing - thanks for the reply.
I am putting 2 objects in the same spot with a single ‘small box complication’ (sbc) as a tap target as a top layer. One object will relate to the calendar while the other will show ‘unread notification count’ in the same spot on a different layer via conditions. But only the calendar object should have a tap target.
If I use the ‘sbc’ as a tap target (action > calendar) then if works for the calendar functionality but when the unread notification count is displayed in the same spot then going to the calendar will not work logically. So what I thought is to move the ‘sbc’ off screen if the ‘unread notification count’ is shown via a condition (x-position). I would need to do this either for the grouped ‘sbc’ or for the ‘slot bound’ component - both don’t allow to change position via conditions.
For example for the x-position:
([UNREAD_NC])>=1?-110:95
This moves the ‘sbc’ tap target which is linked to the calendar off the screen if unread notifications are shown.
An alternative would be using a rectangle and the use this as the tap target - here I can move things off the screen via conditions in the x-position by adding ‘Tags’.
My question in regards to the ‘Calendar’ target was: If I make it a fixed app shortcut to the Calendar will it work on all Wear OS devices - meaning will my ‘calendar’ app shortcut’ (Action > Tap) work? What would happen if the user does not have a Calendar app installed?
Thanks again…
I realize you can change the tag of the complication components . Example text, icon , individually but you cannot add tags on the complication group/slot bound
Hi, for calender app id not sure ask @r.liechty_SDR
The slotbond cannot be change by tags expression as i tried so the tap location will be stuck there
A workaround is to make the slotbond elements smaller and not overlap the text boundaries
Hi another experiment you can do is still use opacity tag…
But after u did that drag the text layer into the complication. Hide the other elements only showing the layer u drag in
Work around
Hello - thanks again for the helpful tips.
I am leaning to making it a transparent rectangle as a tap target - then I can move things around freely - the only caveat being that this then would be a fixed app shortcut via ‘Action > Tap > Open App > Calendar’ that the user would not be able to customize/edit - hence my question if ‘Calendar’ is something every Wear OS watch understands??
Hopefully @r.liechty_SDR can shed some light on this…
Usually yes…but may or may not have exceptions
Usually if got calendar it select default
To add draging a tag expressions layer to a complication. Is more user friendly… because that layer will be “bind” or behave as part of the complication…
Think there are topics in the forum which i explain how i “hack” the complication.
Only note this will only work for the case u are doing…
Meaning calendar
