Resources for Device Type

You can't use a generic name (like round_watch)

you have to do something like:

resources-fenixchronos
resources-fenix3
resources-fenix3_hr


for the devices you want to support

What you can do is have something like resources_round, and then have the things like resources_fenix3 being links to resources_round so the files actually only exist in one place

Thanks Jim, I suspected as much - just needed the confirmation.

Actually you can define resources for more generic groups of devices using the family qualifiers. Take a look at the Family-based Qualifiers section of the Programmer's Guide.

project root
resources <-- Completely generic, applies to all devices
resources-round <-- Applies to all round devices
resources-round_218x218 <-- Applies to all round devices with a screen resolution of 218x218
resources-fenix3 <-- Applies to only the fenix 3


Thanks Ken, that works a treat.

Wow Ken! I never noticed that before! When did the family qualifier come about? Is it a 2.1.x SDK thing?

I think so. I think it was mostly working around the 2.1.0 beta but was technically a 2.1.1+ feature. I can't remember the specific timing.

According to the documentation resource qualifier are supposed to be separated by hyphens. I believe that resources-round_218x218 should be resources-round-218x218. I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but my current pet project will be using family-specific resources.
