How to detect different devices?

search the forum for how to use the resource.xml file.
Or u can also find an example using the garmin supplied code for their golf-IQ app.
Sorry for being brief. Typing on mobile.

This bit of code can be used to detect the device and a few device attributes...

enum {
DEVICE_FR920XT = 0x100001,
DEVICE_VIVOACTIVE = 02000011,
DEVICE_EPIX = 0x300011,
DEVICE_FENIX3 = 0x010002,
DEVICE_D2BRAVO = 0x010002,

DEVICE_MODEL_MASK = 0xFF0000,

SCREEN_SHAPE_RECTANGLE = 0x000001,
SCREEN_SHAPE_ROUND = 0x000002,
TOUCH_SCREEN_ENABLED = 0x000010,
}

function isDevice(mask) {
return App.getApp().isDevice(mask);
}

function isTouchScreen() {
return App.getApp().isTouchScreen();
}

function screenShape() {
return App.getApp().screenShape();
}

class MyApp extends App.AppBase
{
hidden var _device;

function initialize() {
var devices = {
"d2bravo" => DEVICE_D2BRAVO,
"epix" => DEVICE_EPIX,
"fenix3" => DEVICE_FENIX3,
"fr920xt" => DEVICE_FR920XT,
"vivoactive" => DEVICE_VIVOACTIVE
};

_device = devices.get(Ui.loadResource(Rez.Strings.Device));
if (_device == null) {
_device = 0;
}
}

function isDevice(mask) {
mask &= DEVICE_MODEL_MASK;
return 0 != (_device & mask);
}

function isTouchScreen() {
return 0 != (_device & TOUCH_SCREEN_ENABLED);
}

function screenShape() {
if (_device & SCREEN_SHAPE_RECTANGLE) {
return SCREEN_SHAPE_RECTANGLE;
}
else {
return SCREEN_SHAPE_ROUND;
}
}
}


For it to work, you need to define a property in device specific resource files to describe the device that is being used. Something like this in resources-vivoactive/resources.xml would do the trick for the vivoactive...

<resources>
<strings>
<string id="Device">vivoactive</string>
</strings>
</resources>


Of course you'd need to keep the code and the resources up-to-date, but that shouldn't be too difficult.

Once you have it in place, you can write code like this...

var shape = screenShape();
if (shape == SCREEN_SHAPE_RECTANGLE) {
// ...
}


or this...

if (isDevice(DEVICE_VIVOACTIVE | DEVICE_FENIX3)) {
// on a vivoactive or fenix3
}
