Check device type

How can I check the type of the device? Or at least, how can I check if my widget is ran on a round / square watch?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think there is a 'standardized' way of doing this yet... which IMHO is a pretty big omission.

However, you can hack around it by using device-specific resources.

What you do is:

1. Create a resource directory called 'resources-<device-name>' e.g. 'resources-d2bravo'.

2. Inside that directory, override 'strings.xml' to include a value for a device key, e.g.
<string id="device">d2bravo</string>


3. Now check that value to determine roundness, e.g.

function initialize() {
mDevice = Ui.loadResource(Rez.Strings.device);
}

function isRoundWatch() {
return mDevice.equals("fenix3") || mDevice.equals("d2bravo");
}


Another way (that works for now at least) for square vs round, is check the width and height (dc.getWidth(),dc.getHeight())

if they are both 218, you have a round one (f3 family)

if it's 205x148 (or NOT 218x218, or h!=w) it's a square one (va, 920, Epix)

Thanks very much!
