I'm not new to programming but this SDK does have a bit of a learning curve. So what if I wanted to have an app that displays the date and time then you would input a number and save that data. I can do clock face stuff all day but how do you display the time and date in an app?

Clocks and apps are essentially the same thing, but you can only have 1 clock installed and you can't use buttons in clocks.

 

You can use the javascript date object. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date

 

You can use a tumbler to select a number. https://community.fitbit.com/t5/SDK-Development/Data-input-like-in-Timer-app/m-p/2256577

Hi, sorry if this is a bit unrelated but I saw the reference to the JavaScript Date object and wanted to ask.

Would it be possible to use something like moment.js? I have tried putting it in the common folder and importing it, but without any luck. 

BR, Niko.

I think it would be too big for the device, we're resource constrained.
