Adapt size depending of the watch

Former Member over 8 years ago

Hi,
I develop an app especially on the fenix 3, becaue I have a f3; but this work on other Watch, for example the 735 as there was more memory on it :)

How to make the différences in the code on the view to resize, change/adapt the drawing depending the Watch (f3, 735, 920 ...) we have ?

Thanks

There are different ways to do this, and it's based on how your code is written. For example, if you use layouts, you can override the layout based on device.

You can also use "exclude" to have device specific code. for each device

If you use dc calls and not layouts, you can figure out what you're running on at runtime by using things like screenShape, width and height and user the correct x/y for that device

I'm using Dc , but I don't figure how to have screenshape , width an height (of the current device I guess)

this is in what class ?

Sys.getDeviceSettings() has these and more.

Sys.println("w="+Sys.getDeviceSettings().screenWidth);

for example

OK, I found DeviceSettings in the API, I guess this is it.

the screenshape gives me the width and height I guess ?

anyway, I'll search with that.

Check the api doc. screenShape tells you things like round,semi-round, and square.

screenWidth and screenHeight give you the dimensions. so you could have a shape of "square", and based on width and height see if it's a va, va-hr, or edge, for example.
