How to check if a clock is round or square
There seems to be no direct function, but you can always check the width and height of the face:
dc.getWidth(), dc.getHeight()
If they are equal, say 218px, you have a Fenix 3 and obviously a round face. If they are 205px x 148px, you are dealing with a vivvoactive with a square layout.
Maybe write a function that you can call from onLayout:
function isRoundFace (dc) {
return dc.getWidth() == dc.getHeight();
}

You can use the resource compiler to specify resources for different screen geometries. This can be used to determine which device the application is running on.
In your project, specify a unique set of resources (which includes things like strings, images, and menus) for each device you intend to support by creating device-specific directories in the root of the project (e.g. resources-vivoactive or resources- fenix3).
Then create a string resource in the resources.xml file in the resource directory of each device that specifies the device type:
<resources>
<bitmap id="LauncherIcon" filename="images/launcher_icon.png" />
<string id="AppName">MyApp</string>
<string id="deviceType">vivoactive</string>
</resources>
When the app starts up, do a simple check to get the device the app is running on:
function onStart() {
deviceType = Ui.loadResource(Rez.Strings.deviceType);
}
Then check the device type every time you need to do something unique for a specific device:
function drawProgressBar() {
if (deviceType.equals("vivoactive")) {
// Do vivoactive-specific stuff here
...
}
}
You can take this a bit if you want to buy using more generic device types like "round", "square", etc., so you don't have to write logic to handle each unique device model.
