I have one application in which there is progress bar which updated with user location. i implemented same thing in iPhone but now i want to implement same thing in Apple Watch. Is there any possible way to do this?

Answer 1

The most simple way for a solid-color progress bar in watchOS 2+ requires 1 image:

1. Add a group where you want the progress bar. The group should have the size of the bar at 100%.
2. Add a WKInterfaceImage to the group with an image of solid color.
3. In your code, call progressBarImage.setRelativeWidth(CGFloat(currentValue / maxValue), withAdjustment: 0) whenever the current value changes.

If you want a vertical progress bar, there is afunction for that: progressBarImage.setRelativeHeight(CGFloat(currentValue / maxValue), withAdjustment: 0).

You could also create the image dynamically on the phone. I leave this as an exercise for the reader.

Answer 2

There is not a progress bar in WatchKit at the moment.

Workaround

A fairly easy workaround would be to design a WKInterfaceImage that looks like a progress bar along with the progressive images to fill in the bar. Then update the current image displayed to match the percentage that your user's location has progressed.
