Application interface provides various methods to query properties of the run-time environment.

Getting the Application Type

Application.getType() method returns the platform the application is currently running on:

switch (Gdx.app.getType()) {    case Android:        // android specific code        break;    case Desktop:        // desktop specific code        break;    case WebGl:        // HTML5 specific code        break;    default:        // Other platforms specific code}

On Android, one can also query the Android version the application is currently running on:

int androidVersion = Gdx.app.getVersion();

This will return the SDK level supported on the current device, e.g., 3 for Android 1.5.

Memory Consumption

For debugging and profiling purposes it is often necessary to know the memory consumption, for both the Java heap and the native heap:

long javaHeap = Gdx.app.getJavaHeap();long nativeHeap = Gdx.app.getNativeHeap();

Both methods return the number of bytes currently in use on the respective heap. Prev | Next
