Android Wear模拟器和环境模式

Question

How can I test ambient mode in Android Wear emulator? I need to see how does my app render on different watches while in ambient mode. Seems ambient mode is different on Moto 360 and Sony Smartwatch 3.

Answer 1

To test Ambient Mode in an emulator, you need to do the following:

1. In the Emulator, Go to settings and Turn ON "Always-on Screen: ON".
2. While emulator window is active Press "F7" (F7 emulates the power button) then press the power button to turn on ambient mode.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

On recent Wear emulators you can just press the power button in the associated control panel. The power button within the emulator frame acts as a press on the main button, eg opening the list of apps.

Answer 3

Not your main question but hopefully this helps you in regards to the differences you're seeing between the Moto 360 and SmartWatch 3 ambient modes:

I believe what you're referring to is ambient mode versus low-bit ambient mode. Google covers some of it in their developer documentation but it doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere else. I did a huge write-up for the community based on my own research since I was frustrated with the lack of info (it's mostly written from a consumer perspective though):

The latest Wear emulator lets you click in the top of the emulator window to toggle between full power and ambient modes (the shaded section in the screenshot).
