HARDWARE
Added in 1.2.0
public static final int HARDWARE = 1
A hardware canvas will be requested. This is usually faster than software rendering, however it can sometimes increase battery usage by rendering at a higher frame rate.
NOTE this is only supported on API level 26 and above. On lower API levels we fall back to a software canvas.
NOTE the system takes screenshots for use in the watch face picker UI and these will be taken using software rendering for API level 27 and below. This means on API level 27 and below Bitmaps with Bitmap.Config.HARDWARE must be avoided.
