Google adds Android Wear to the Device Art Generator

One of the tools that Google provides to developers is the Device Art Generator. With this tool, developers can get an idea of what their screens will look like on different Google hardware. For instance, a developer may want to get a feel for how their app will look when framed by the relatively large bevels of the Nexus 9 and its 4:3 ratio versus a Nexus 5. Google has now added Android Wear support to the tool.

To make use of the generator, developers need to grab either square or round screenshots and upload them to the online tool. They can then choose whether they want to see the screen framed by a round device or a square device. The resulting image can be saved for later viewing and sharing with others, although Google tells developers they should not use these shots when adding their app to Google Play.
