I’m currently screwing around in studio to make myself a watch face. I am new to this, but it seems easy enough. I really like the samsung-made ultra info board, but i would like it to have a little more info.
3 questions:
Can i download their ultra info board watch face and open it in studio? I dont really want to edit from that, i will be starting from scratch, but i would like to see the specific types of each of the elements/complications on that board so i know which one is which.
2. How do i set a line complication to be curved, like a regular text box? Must i do it manually? — figured this one out - i forgot to select a text layer
I noticed that for each complication, i can set types. That all makes sense, but for each type of a complication, there seems to be a selection for that type. These arent set, right? For the ultra info board, i noticed that, for example, on the circle complications, i can have short text with all 4 of its’ specific types, depending on what the data asks for. So these specific subtypes of short text are not fixed/set, correct? Because it does let me ‘select’ one…
Is there a way to download it though? I can certainly download android studio… but is it simple enough to understand? Or is it mainly IDE/scripting based?
(Apologies for the photo, wasnt signed in on that computer)
That is what I’m referring to. They are just all the available options that a data provider can choose from, correct? am I limiting it by selecting one?
Another question, if you don’t mind: how do I get the text curvature to follow the shape of the watch? Or must i do that manually? And will the text box’s curvature scale, if a dataset happened to be long?
Regardless of whether a watch face was created with Android Studio or Watch Face Studio, the source code from which it was created cannot be downloaded from Google Play.
In the case of Watch Face Studio, the source code (honeyface.json) isn’t even submitted to Google Play.
Complications have some properties. When you select a complication and customize it from the Watch, the layout of the complication is automatically selected by the complication provider. So if you select a complication from Watch that only provides an icon and text, then the icon+text layout will be selected automatically. But if you want to select the layout forcefully, you need to delete others layouts from the list.
