3. Introduction - Emerging market of wear technology and devices with $8 billion and more - Concentrated traffic from Notifications - Helps you to do better time management.
4. Major players are Motorola, LG, Samsung, Sony, Fossil, Asus and Tag Heuer
5. Walkthrough with Android wear - Android wear design Majors - How the wear app gets installed on you the device. -How to interact with Android wear device -Swipe gestures -Voice commands
6. Android wear design majors : - Suggest - context stream
7. Android wear design majors : - Demand - The Cue cards
10. Setup the Environment -Update your SDK tools to version 23.0.0 or higher - Update your SDK with Android 4.4W.2 (API 20) or higher - Setup an Android wear virtual device or Android wear device - Download Android wear app from Play store on your phone - Command to connect phone with Android wear virtual device adb -d forward tcp:5601 tcp:5601
11. App development for Android wear - Showing notifications - Extending actions only for wearable - Android wear specific app
12. Notifications : final int notificationId = 1; final NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this) .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher) .setContentTitle("Hello Wearable!") .setContentText("Sample text"); NotificationManagerCompat.from(context).notify(notificationId,notificationBuilder.build());
13. Notifications :
14. Notification with wearable functionalities : - Wearable only actions - Voice Commands - Extra pages
15. Wearable only actions: final NotificationCompat.WearableExtender wearableExtender = new NotificationCompat.WearableExtender(); wearableExtender.addAction(new NotificationCompat.Action(R.drawable. ic_navigation,"Nearest Shop", navigationIntent)); notificationBuilder.extend(wearableExtender);
17. Voice Commands: final RemoteInput remoteInput = new RemoteInput.Builder (EXTRA_VOICE_REPLY).setLabel("Pls give feedback").setChoices(this. getResources().getStringArray(R.array.reply_choices)).build(); notificationBuilder.extend(new NotificationCompat.WearableExtender(). addAction(new NotificationCompat.Action.Builder(R.drawable. ic_voice_search,"Reply", navigationIntent).addRemoteInput(remoteInput). build()));
19. Extra Pages : - Create notifications and add them to wearableExtender.
20. Packaging of the App for Publishing • You need to package wearable app inside handheld app • You should give dependency of wearable app inside mobile’s app build.gradle file • dependencies { • MyFirstWearApp project(':wearable') • }
21. -Include all the permission declared in the wearable manifest file to mobile module manifest file. - Ensure common version number and package name for both modules.
22. Do’s - Design for big gestures - Design it in a way, so that user should not take more than 5 seconds to use. Otherwise you should reconsider the design. - Do one thing at a time. - Keep the long running logic on your mobile side.
23. Dont’s - Do not overload operation for wear apps - Do not demand unnecessary data from handheld devices - Stay careful about interactive and ambient mode
24. Android Wear 2.0 preview - System UI - Standalone Apps - Real Time walking, bicycling and Running recognition.
25. System UI: - Material design for wearable - Darker UI - Watch hardware button works like a back button - You can reply by voice, emojis and keyboard
26. Standalone Apps : - Tethered + Untethered - Apps run on watch even when your phone is not with you - Doze - Handle notifications completely from wearable device. - Direct download from play store
27. Real Time walking, bicycling and Running recognition.
