I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but when I add a preview, the preview looks like it's a phone... how do you change to a watch screen shape and size?

Hi - support for different Wear device shapes was recently released in the Chipmunk canary, but you won't have seen it if you're still on Arctic Fox or Bumblebee versions - see https://developer.android.com/studio/preview. Alternatively, you can set properties on the @Preview annotation to customize (e.g. to set width and height) - a good example of that is in https://developer.android.com/codelabs/compose-for-wear-os#1, see the previews for ReusableComponents.

Thanks Steve!

It seems we are still missing Wear devices for the Preview annotation in Chipmunk and likely are not going to have it until the next Studio release 😞

In the meantime, I’ve created a small utility which you may find useful in the interim: https://gist.github.com/c5inco/2210c3d00c49d100dc7348b06ad58ca1

Useful together with Interactive Preview, though be sure not to deploy the scaffold to the device 😅
