How to detect if a watch has an AMOLED or MiP display in Monkey C?

5790664 18 days ago

Hi,

I'm developing a Connect IQ app, and I need to determine whether the watch has an AMOLED or MiP display. Currently, I don't see any direct API method to check the display type.

For now, my approach is to use Device.getDeviceInfo().screen and check the resolution. If x > 300, I assume it's an AMOLED display. However, this feels like a workaround rather than a proper solution.

Another option is Device.getModel(), comparing it against a list of known AMOLED models, but that also seems inelegant.

Is there an official way to determine the display type in Monkey C?

Thanks!

What I do for watch faces is this, For other app types, I don't really care, but with AMOLED WF's, you are limited as to how much you can do when in low power mode.
```
        canBurnIn=false;
…
```

        canBurnIn=false;
        sSettings=System.getDeviceSettings();
        if(sSettings has :requiresBurnInProtection) {       
        	canBurnIn=sSettings.requiresBurnInProtection;        	
        }
