Android wear app can't connect to google api services

Question

I\'m trying to set up a connection between Android Wear and an Android phone. The googleApiClient fails to connect, and returns a SERVICE_VERSION_UPDATE_REQUIRED status code

Answer 1

Looks like putting the googleClient.connect() on onStart() solves the issue:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_test);

    // Build a new GoogleApiClient
    checkIfGoogleApiClientExists();
    googleClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
            .addApi(Wearable.API)
            .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
            .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
            .build();
}

@Override
protected void onStart() {
    Log.i(LOG_TAG,"entered onStart");
    super.onStart();
    googleClient.connect();
}
