Android Wear detect ambient screen mode

Is there a way to detect when the watch is in ambient screen mode? I make a watch face and want to continue to update the clock when the ambient screen mode is on (clock is shown on screen), but I want to stop updating when the screen is off. For now, I start and stop the update in onPause and onResume methods, but the onPause method is called when the ambient screen mode comes on.

Thanks.

Solution

  • To be notified of the Ambient mode changed, you have to use a DisplayListener. You can find the way to do that here
