Building an Android Wear app
Anatomy of an Android Wear app 4 Wearable app 4
Mobile app, with wearable app packaged inside 4 Communicate via notifications and/or Google Play Services APIs
Never Gonna GIF You Up
Loading a random GIF on the watch 1. UI library
for displaying GIFs 2. Request random GIF from Giphy API 3. Make API request, update view
Loading a random GIF on the watch 1. UI library
for displaying GIFs 2. Request random GIF from Giphy API 3. Make API request, update view Most wearables don't have internet...yet
Wearable app
Wearable app 1. UI library for displaying GIFs 2. Request
GIF from mobile app 3. Listen for data change from phone 4. Update view
Request GIF from mobile app Set<Node> nodes = Wearable.CapabilityApi .getCapability(googleApiClient,
"gif_me", CapabilityApi.FILTER_REACHABLE) .await() .getCapability() .getNodes(); if (!nodes.isEmpty()) { for (Node node : nodes) { Wearable.MessageApi.sendMessage(googleApiClient, node.getId(), "gif/random", null).await(); } }
Listen for data changes @Override public void onDataChanged(DataEventBuffer dataEvents) {
for (DataEvent event : dataEvents) { if (event.getType() == DataEvent.TYPE_CHANGED) { DataItem item = event.getDataItem(); if (item.getUri().getPath().compareTo("/image") == 0) { Asset asset = DataMapItem.fromDataItem(item).getDataMap().get("random_gif"); // Do something with asset } } } }
Mobile app
Mobile app 1. WearableListenerService to listen for GIF requests 2.
Request random GIF from Giphy API 3. Push file bytes to wearable via Data API
Registering a WearableListenerService - AndroidManifest.xml <service android:name=".GifRequestWearableListenerService" tools:ignore="ExportedService" > <intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.gms.wearable.BIND_LISTENER" /> </intent-filter> </service>
Registering a WearableListenerService: res/values/wear.xml <resources> <string-array name="android_wear_capabilities"> <item>gif_me</item> </string-array> </resources>
WearableListenerService public class GifRequestWearableListenerService extends WearableListenerService { @Override public void
onMessageReceived(MessageEvent messageEvent) { if (messageEvent.getPath().equals("gif/random")) { bytes[] imageBytes = getRandomGif(); Asset asset = Asset.createFromBytes(imageBytes) pushAsset(asset); } } private void pushAsset(Asset asset) { PutDataMapRequest request = PutDataMapRequest.create("/image"); request.getDataMap().putAsset("random_gif", asset); Wearable.DataApi.putDataItem(googleApiClient, request.asPutDataRequest()); } }
Achtung! 4 Enable developer options and debugging on the wearable
4 Packaged wearable apps aren't automatically deployed for debug builds 4 Deploy the right app to the right device 4 It's difficult to debug end-to-end. Focus on one end at a time.
Weird stuff 4 Retrolambda doesn't currently work with Android Wear.
It seems to break the packaging of the wearable app into the mobile app.
