How to identify Fenix 6 series (to get Round_280px)

Former Member over 5 years ago

Hi guys,

I would like to know how could I identify with some code the Fenix 6 series to set the drawing in the correct position.

Until now, I did it with the next sentence and it worked for Fenix 3 and 5 series:

if( WatchUi.loadResource(Rez.Strings.DeviceModel).equals("Round_240px")) ...

But for my surprise, when I run a simulation with Fenix 6, it returns 'Round_218px', just like a Fenix 3.

Do you know any other method to know the model is currently active?

Thanks in advance. Best regards.

The screen sizes on the fenix6 devices are as follows

fenix6s/pro 240x240
fenix6/pro 260x260
fenix6x/pro 280x280

The resourcePath definitions for the fenix6 devices (in bin/default.jungle) confirm this:

There's a few different ways, based on how much you need to know.

At runtime (in onLayout) in can check for something like width=height=280 and right now, that's only the f6x. width=height=260 could be the va4, S62, or f6 though, and width=height=240 is a whole bunch of devices.

At compile time, you can use jungles.

Or you can use resource overrides.

See the programmer's guide for the last two.

Thanks for the suggestion! I solved with width and height check:

function onLayout(dc)
    {
        if( dc.getWidth() == 280 && dc.getHeight() == 280){
           System.println("Type Device = Round 280px");

.....

I hope this will be helpful for any other programmers ;)

fenix6s/pro 240x240
fenix6/pro 260x260
fenix6x/pro 280x280

The resourcePath definitions for the fenix6 devices (in bin/default.jungle) confirm this:

$ grep "^fenix6[^.]* =" default.jungle
fenix6 = $(round-260x260)
fenix6s = $(round-240x240)
fenix6spro = $(round-240x240)
fenix6xpro = $(round-280x280)
fenix6pro = $(round-260x260)

$ grep "^fenix6[^.]*.resourcePath =" default.jungle
fenix6.resourcePath = $(fenix6.resourcePath);resources-fenix6
fenix6s.resourcePath = $(fenix6s.resourcePath);resources-fenix6s
fenix6spro.resourcePath = $(fenix6spro.resourcePath);resources-fenix6spro
fenix6xpro.resourcePath = $(fenix6xpro.resourcePath);resources-fenix6xpro
fenix6pro.resourcePath = $(fenix6pro.resourcePath);resources-fenix6pro

If you're seeing a string resource return an unexpected value, it seems that it is an issue with your project (probably a jungle file or resource override issue).
