How to change Wear OS complication type programmatically

Question

I'm working on a watch face for Wear OS based on this example: https://github.com/android/wear-os-samples/tree/main/WatchFaceKotlin.
Samsung Heart Rate complication has a MONOCHROMATIC_IMAGE type and it doesn't provide heart rate value.
I already know how to get this value form SHealth. I'd like to change this complication type to SHORT_TEXT and set HR value programmatically. Is it possible?
Also I know how to make my own complication data provider, but it's a separate service that appears in the list of all available complication providers.

Answer 1

Yes. Modify the type of complications in ComplicationUtils.kt.

Note:The top type which you declare is the top preference. You want SHORT_TEXT, put the SHORT_TEXT on the top of the list

    object Left : ComplicationConfig(
        LEFT_COMPLICATION_ID,
        listOf(
            ComplicationType.RANGED_VALUE,
            ComplicationType.MONOCHROMATIC_IMAGE,
            ComplicationType.SHORT_TEXT,
            ComplicationType.SMALL_IMAGE
        )
    )
