wear-os

I'm attempting to communicate between my handheld and wearable app and I am trying to find the correct Node by using the CapabilityApi . I know that the devices are connected - other apps and samples work just fine - but when I run my wearable app neither calls to getCapability() or getAllCapabilities() return any Nodes at all. Everything else seems to work properly - in fact I can find the handheld device just fine if I use the NodeApi and sending messages with the MessageApi also seems to work properly - but the capabilities of each device are just not advertised for some reason. I have

When deploying the wear version of the included Hello, World watch app in Android Studio I get this error: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK] Update: Removing details about trying a hacked version of L from the Reddit post as that was not a solution for me and it may have created more confusion. mobile/build.gradle apply plugin: 'com.android.application' android { compileSdkVersion 20 buildToolsVersion "20.0.0" defaultConfig { applicationId "com.example.erikbabel.myapplication" minSdkVersion 15 targetSdkVersion 20 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" } buildTypes { release { runProguard false

Let say I have bluetooth dongle on my PC. How can I send data to my PC directly. I don't want to use the phone a middle man. (which is normally used when debugging Wear over bluetooth) Can I pair Android Wear with PC directly, and then transmit any data? You would need to reverse engineer the Bluetooth protocol between the Android Wear watch and the Wear App on the phone. Given that the Wear App is used to update the OS Wear software on the watch, Google can change the protocol at any time. So while you might be able to sniff the traffic and duplicate the behavior of the Wear App to be able to

I'm looking for how to store image data into my app on Android Wear. What I want to do are followings: Take a photo and send it to my watch. (via DataMap) My watch displays the photo. When my app on Android Wear restarts, the app displays the photo taken before. For now, the photo is cleared after restart the app. I want to store the photo. Are there any ways to save the photo into the watch. Thanks. [UPDATE1] I tried to save an image by using Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() But "NOT EXISTS" is returned. String imagePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/test.jpg"; try {

Since the Android 5.1 update (or not sure if this was always the case, but I don't suspect it was), the Moto 360 no longer reports useful gyroscope data. I've verified this abnormal behavior across three different Moto 360 devices. Here is a link to a Google Spreadsheet that contains raw sensor data (capturing my arm flailing motion) for the Moto 360 on page 1, and then the sensor data for the G Watch R on page 2. Note that sensorType 0 is for gyroscope, and 1 is for accelerometer. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11154fiVCSro111apVkYSlz1s4VW8D5X82WZsNTTHnCE/edit?usp=sharing As you can

The Android Wear ecosystem seems to be built around quick tasks which a user will interact with, and then close. This works great for most applications, but what about one which covers a long running task, and should not be automatically closed when the watch sleeps? My specific case: Swing by Swing Golf GPS . The preferred operation would be to have the application remain active, and shown when the screen wakes due to user action. And the life-time of a single use will be between 2 to 4 hours. What are some methods to go about keeping an application front and center on the Android Wear device

How can I supress the "open on phone" action on a wearable? I added a more helpful custom action which is now a dublicate action. Any idea how I can remove it? Here is a snip it how I build the Notification: NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context) .setContentTitle("Title") .setContentText("Message") .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon) .setContentIntent(openIntent); NotificationCompat.WearableExtender extender = new NotificationCompat.WearableExtender(); extender.addAction(new NotificationCompat.Action.Builder(icon, "do something", openIntent).build()); builder
