<h2 id="invalid-fields">Invalid Fields for a Complication Type</h2>



<p>

  When a watch face uses the <a href="{@docRoot}wear/preview/features/complications.html">

  Complications API</a>, the watch face requests data from a chosen provider.

  A <code>ComplicationData</code> object, which contains

  complication types, is returned.

</p>



<p>

  A complication type determines the

  kinds of data that a watch face can render. This section describes

  a behavior change related to the <code>ComplicationData</code> object.

</p>



<p>

  Starting with

  <a href="https://developer.android.com/wear/preview/support.html#dp3">

  Developer Preview 3</a>, when a watch face requests a field that is invalid

  for a complication type, a default value for the field is returned.

  For example, if a watch face tries to access a <code>Long text</code>

  field in a <code>SHORT_TEXT</code> type, the default value for the

  <code>Long text</code> field is returned.

  In previous releases, such a request for an invalid field

  (for a type) resulted in an exception.

</p>



<h2 id="empty">Complication Types for Empty Data</h2>



<p>

  Starting with

  <a href="https://developer.android.com/wear/preview/support.html#dp3">

  Developer Preview 3</a>, the complication types used for "empty" data are

  changed. Apps that use the Complications API

  may need to be updated to use

  <code>TYPE_NO_DATA</code>. See the information

  about <code>TYPE_NO_DATA</code> in the

  <a href="{@docRoot}wear/preview/features/complications.html#types_and_fields">

  Types and fields</a> section.
