This is a copy of the Java documentation for libGDX. It is not finished being ported.

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

Getting the Application Type

Sometimes it is necessary to implement certain functionality differently depending on the platform it is running on. The Application.getType() method returns the platform the application is currently running on:

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

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.
