How do you make a complication adaptive?

Question

I was following this tutorial on how to add complications to a watch face using ComplicationDrawable. Something I can't figure out is how do I make a ComplicationDrawable responsive to the content? For example, if the data type for the bottom complication is ComplicationData.TYPE_LONG_TEXT, how do I make my ComplicationDrawable wider to adjust for the text?

Here is my code for how I'm drawing the bounds for the complications.

I can't find an example of this anywhere so maybe it's not possible.

You've got everything you need in your code already. The only thing missing is to set the bounds based on the complication type. This is how I do it:

// Create a ComplicationDrawable object, and give it a Context.
ComplicationDrawable complicationDrawable = new ComplicationDrawable();
complicationDrawable.setContext(context);

// Set the ComplicationData from the onComplicationDataUpdate(int id, ComplicationData data) callback in your WatchFaceService.Engine class.
complicationDrawable.setComplicationData(data); 

// Set the bounds based on the current complication type.
Rect bounds = new Rect();
if (data.getType() == ComplicationData.TYPE_LONG_TEXT) {
    bounds.set(getLongTextBounds());
} else {
    bounds.set(getShortTextBounds());
}
complicationDrawable.setBounds(bounds);

// Set all other customization options, and draw the ComplicationDrawable to your canvas.
