When I read about communication between an Activity and Service , I found that we can use either IBinder Messenger AIDL I am interested in the first two. So when I tried implementing this to communicate between an Activity and WearableListenerService , I needed to override the onBind function. But then, I am getting a compiler error saying it cannot override final method "onBind" I dont get such an error when I use a normal Service . So, 1. Does that mean we cannot use IBinder or Messenger approach to communicate with the WearableListenerService from an Activity ? 2. If so, what is the next

I am wondering if we can access the network through HttpURLConnection from Android Wear ? I tried using HttpURLConnection inside Wear code, I am getting EOFException . The same code works from regular Android phone. It only has problem when it is on Android Wear. If HttpURLConnection is not supported on Wear, should we use Apache Http client or something else? Or perhaps the way I am launching the app for development is incorrect? URL url = new URL(myurl); HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); conn.setReadTimeout(10000 /* milliseconds */); conn.setConnectTimeout

I'm using a class that I serialize in my Android Phone app, and deserialize in my Android Wear app. They are both in the same Android Studio Project, and are deployed as one. How can I share the class between the two without having a copy of the class in each package? Right now I'm copy/pasting it, but is there any way for me to include it in both apps? The directory structure being: ./ mobile/ ...src/etc wear/ ...src/etc How do I handle common classes? You can create a new "Android Library" Module in the project, and place your common classes there. Then you simply add it as a dependency of

I created a new project in Android Studio 0.8 in order to start integrating Android Wear into one of my apps.
