Round Android Wear Emulator is Square
android, emulation, interface, rounding, wear-os
Solution
Make sure when you create you AVD that you select the following options for a round emulator:
Device: Android Wear Round (320 x 320: hdpi) Target: Android 4.4W - API Level 20 CPU/ABI: Android Wear ARM (armeabi-v7a) Skin: AndroidWearRound
Alternatively, you can create round or square emulators with the command lines:
android create avd --force -n WatchRound --target "android-20" --device "Android Wear Round" --skin AndroidWearRound --abi android-wear/armeabi-v7a
android create avd --force -n WatchSquare --target "android-20" --device "Android Wear Square" --skin AndroidWearSquare --abi android-wear/armeabi-v7a
It is important that Device and Skin are both consistent, and you cannot mix round and square with the same emulator. If the problem still happens, post a screen shot of your configuration.
Problem
The title and picture say it all--my round android wear emulator shows the rect layout. I'd appreciate any tips that help me get the round emulator to show the correct interface.
