Hello,

I've seen that the Variant tag can support Arithmetic expressions. However, they are not evaluated properly.

Consider the following snippet put into a PartDraw tag:

<Variant mode="AMBIENT" target="x" value="[MINUTE] % 2 == 0 ? 0 : -50" />

When the minute changes to become odd (e.g. 09:27), x should be -50 rather than 0. However, it stays at 0, until the watch is woken up and put into ambient mode again.

I attached the apk where you can find the expression (it's into res/li.xml, open it with Android Studio to see it).

I also attached a video where you can see the bug:

• When the video starts, it's still 00:58, and the watch is in ambient mode.
• Then, it becomes 00:59, but x is still 0, though it should be -50.
• After that, I touch the screen to exit ambient mode.
• x is still at 0, which makes sense now, since it's not in ambient mode
• Then, I move my wrist back to enter ambient mode again, and now x is correctly set to -50 (As 59 % 2 == 0 ? 0 : -50 should give). You can see it by looking at the first 0 character, which has a gap, unlike in the beginning of the video.

Why is the arithmetic expression not evaluated timely? Or is [MINUTE] changing too late, after the logic draws the new frame for the new minute while in ambient mode?

All the best,
