WatchKit - TableView with special effect - watchkit

I would like to create a tableView on an Apple Watch app with a specific effect... You can see it in this video (go to 2 min). This is a different effect than the default one. I don't know how to do this, if anybody can help me by explaining me how I can do this, it would be nice :D

You can use SpriteKit to get such a behaviour on Apple Watch but will have to setup a tableView manually by yourself.

set picture in apple watchface programmatically

WatchOS 2 does not allow custom watch faces, but users may create a somewhat custom face by selecting a background picture. Is there a way to set that picture programmatically?
No, it's not possible, there is no API with access to Watch Faces.

Google Extension with more than one button in the toolbar

I want to create a Google Extension that adds 3 buttons to my Google Chrome Toolbar : the Extension does three different things and I want the three buttons to always be available in the toolbar of the user's navigator .. I don't know if it is even possible.
(What I have done so far is a popup that shows three buttons, but it isn't really what I want to do).
Thank you in advance for your precious help :)
You cannot add more than one action to browser with Chrome extension. Chrome extension are meant to serve single purpose only.
The way you are doing it right now, show popup with three buttons, is the way to do.

WatchKit - Get a touch location on a the screen

I am building an iPhone game with a watch extension. On the watch I would like the user to click on an image and I would like to know where on the image the user clicked. Is this possible with watchkit?
Update: In watchOS 3.0 this is no longer an issue. See answer for details.
With watchOS 3.0, you can now use WKTapGestureRecognizer combined with locationInObject() to get a touch location.
(still no UITouchEvent unfortunately).
This is not possible with the current version of WatchKit. The closest you could come to this is to detect that the user tapped an image/button. I suppose you could break the original image into smaller images/buttons and lay them out as a larger image, but I'm not sure how the performance would be.

TideSDK - Show unread count (Icon Badges)

I intend to create a basic chat program with TideSDK. I was now wondering if it's possible to display new/unread message count in the dock/tray icon. For example, like this dock icon in OSX:
I did a quick search the docs but could not find anything about these so-called icon badges. Is this correct? My second thought was to update the entire dock/tray icon with a manually redrawn version to simulate badges. However, while I found API functions to update window icons I could also not find a way to update the main app icon.
Any ideas on how I could solve this?
Turns out this was a pretty stupid question. Didn't realise the UI node could also be clicked in the doc navigation tree. The desired functionality is actually built-in. See the relevant doc page here: http://tidesdk.multipart.net/docs/user-dev/generated/#!/api/Ti.UI
You have the following methods to achieve the desired or related result:
Ti.UI.setBadge(txt)
Ti.UI.setBadgeImage(imageURL)
Ti.UI.setDockIcon(icon)

TV ergonomics in Flex

Im having fun toying with AIR and want to use it to create an application for my TV, but Im coping with a serious & dumb problem : TV ergonomics. Indeed, without a mouse, it is all about focus on elements and moving this focus in a natural fashion.
In HTML this is handled by the browsers perfectly, but in ActionScript Im having a real hard time ! For instance, I don't even know how to have an element on autofocus, so that when I load the app there is already something to click on (without it I just can't interact with my app at all!).
Do you have any idea on the best ways to create a listener for the remote controller arrows and OK button (should be enough) so that I never get stuck in the app ?
So whether you have already struggled with that or if you simply happen to know how to play with the focus and setFocus() parts of Flex, your help is very welcome !
I recommend you look at the Google TV Flash template. It's all about controls and navigation. I'm not sure if this works for Flex as I have not done any gtv development yet.
