wear-os

I am wondering how the Android Wear launchers like Swipify and Wear Mini Launcher intercept touch events on the android wear home screen . I have tried adding the onTouch and onClick listeners to the Watch View Stub in my app so far, but I can not figure out how to get touches that occur outside of my app. Nicolas POMEPUY In fact, the views are directly added in the WindowManager in a Service . You can take a look at this thread to understand how it works: Creating a system overlay window (always on top) Be careful, there is an issue in the Moto 360 system at this time as explained here: https

how can I execute HTTP requests or open a socket on Android Wear? I used to think that's impossible but the Web Browser for Android Wear app says the folloing: "[..] works even when your phone is off if you have a smartwatch with Android Wear 5.1 and WiFi"*. I tested it and that app CAN connect the internet when the paired phone is powered off. Whenever I open a socket or try HTTP requests on Android Wear I always get a ConnectException saying failed to connect to http://foo.com (similar stack trace here ). So I'm doing something different then that app is doing and I'd like to understand what

Im getting a black screen on my Android Wear round watch (on square it works). Both layouts show up OK in the Android Studio layout design. Project to test: https://bitbucket.org/powder366/motoblack Im using the following code: public class MyFragment extends Fragment { ... @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { View contentView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_fragment, container, false); ... Layout my_fragment: <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com

When Android Wear goes to sleep mode (screen dimmed), some parts of my code are not executed. I use Timer in background service to trigger some actions, such as sending data from wear to mobile, but the data is not sent. It is sent when I tap the screen to wake it up. I also try to use Timer trigger a notification with vibration when the screen is off, but it doesn't appear until I tap the screen. In debug mode (either Bluetooth or USB), data sending and notification work fine. I suspect this is because when Android Wear is in sleep mode, its CPU works at minimum level because the Timer is

I'm looking for a way to recreate the alert dialog in the Setting application of Android Wear: Which is swipe to dismissable. But instead, what I got is this: Just a barebone Android dialog. How can I show the AlertDialog in the Settings.apk style? (Which I think must be default for Android Wear application) I found no default way to do this, also setting a custom view to an AlertDialog did not look good. You can still try though, maybe a different Theme works. What I did was create a new Activity and create my own layout which looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <android

Sometimes, most of the time when my LG G watch closes the app automatically by going to sleep/dim mode, if I open the app again by going to the start menu there are two instances of the activity opened (when I slide one off the previous one is underneath). This never happens in a phone, is this how activities work in Android Wear? Should I "finish()" them in onPause()? Thanks. Have you looked at the android:launchMode attribute in the AndroidManifest.xml for the activity? perhaps android:launchMode="singleInstance" will help you out. http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity
