Android Wearables: getting started

Starting in Android SDK version 4.5, a new Android extension was added that allows you to collect data from your Android Wearable app.

Configuring the SDK for a handheld app (Android Studio)

For more information about importing the SDK into your project, see Core Implementation and Lifecycle.

1. Add the ADBMobileConfig.json file to the assets folder of your project.

2. Add the adobeMobileLibrary-*.jar file to the libs folder or make sure this file is referenced by the project.

   Tip: You might need to sync the gradle project after adding the .jar file.

3. In the onCreate method, allow the SDK access to your application context by using Config.setContext:

   @Override 
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { 
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); 
       setContentView(R.layout.main); 
   
       // Allow the SDK access to the application context 
       Config.setContext(this.getApplicationContext()); 
   }

4. Add the following code to the AndroidManifest.xml file:

       <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /> 
       <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> 
       <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" /> 
   
   <application> 
   ....... 
   <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" 
               android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" /> 
   </application>

5. Make sure your project includes the Google play-services library.

6. Implement WearableListenerService or add the corresponding code to your WearableListenerService:

   public class WearListenerService extends WearableListenerService { 
   
       @Override 
       public void onMessageReceived(MessageEvent messageEvent) { 
           super.onMessageReceived(messageEvent); 
       } 
   
       private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient; 
   
       @Override 
       public void onCreate() { 
           super.onCreate(); 
           mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this) 
                   .addApi(Wearable.API) 
                   .build(); 
           mGoogleApiClient.connect(); 
       } 
       @Override 
       public void onDestroy() { 
           super.onDestroy(); 
           mGoogleApiClient.disconnect(); 
       } 
   
       @Override 
       public void onDataChanged(com.google.android.gms.wearable.DataEventBuffer dataEvents) { 
           DataListenerHandheld.onDataChanged(dataEvents, mGoogleApiClient, this); 
       } 
   }

7. Add WearListenerService to the AndroidManifest.xml file:

   If you are using Google Play Services  < 8.2 
   <application> 
       ...... 
        <service 
               android:name=".WearListenerService" > 
               <intent-filter> 
                   <action android:name="com.google.android.gms.wearable.BIND_LISTENER" /> 
               </intent-filter> 
       </service> 
   </application> 
   If you are using Google Play Services >= 8.2 
   <application> 
       ...... 
        <service 
               android:name=".WearListenerService" > 
               <intent-filter> 
                     <action android:name="com.google.android.gms.wearable.DATA_CHANGED" /> 
                    <data android:scheme="wear" android:host="*" android:pathPrefix="/abdmobile" /> 
               </intent-filter> 
       </service> 
   </application>

Configuring the SDK for a Wearable app (Android Studio)

1. Complete one of the following tasks:

   • Add the same ADBMobileConfig.json file to the assets folder of your wearable project.

   • Change the gradle config to use the ADBMobileConfig.json in the assets folder of the handheld app:

     android { 
     
         sourceSets { 
             main { 
                 assets.srcDirs = ['src/main/assets','../mobile/src/main/assets'] 
             } 
        } 
     }

2. Add the adobeMobileLibrary-*.jar file to the libs folder or make sure it get referenced by the project.

   You might need to sync the gradle project after adding the jar file.

3. In the onCreate method, allow the SDK access to your application context using Config.setContext:

   @Override 
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { 
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); 
       setContentView(R.layout.main);      
       // Allow the SDK access to the application context 
       Config.setContext(this.getApplicationContext(), Config.ApplicationType.APPLICATION_TYPE_WEARABLE); 
   }

4. Add the following code to AndroidManifest.xml:

   <application> 
   ....... 
   <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" 
               android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" /> 
   </application>

5. Ensure that your project includes the Google play-services library.

6. Implement WearableListenerService or add the corresponding code to your WearableListenerService:

   public class WearListenerService extends WearableListenerService { 
   
       @Override 
       public void onDataChanged(com.google.android.gms.wearable.DataEventBuffer dataEvents) { 
           DataListenerWearable.onDataChanged(dataEvents); 
       } 
   
   }

7. Add WearListenerService to the AndroidManifest.xml file:

   If you are using Google Play Services  < 8.2 
   <application> 
       ...... 
        <service 
               android:name=".WearListenerService" > 
               <intent-filter> 
                   <action android:name="com.google.android.gms.wearable.BIND_LISTENER" /> 
               </intent-filter> 
       </service> 
   </application> 
   If you are using Google Play Services >= 8.2 
   <application> 
       ...... 
        <service 
               android:name=".WearListenerService" > 
               <intent-filter> 
                     <action android:name="com.google.android.gms.wearable.DATA_CHANGED" /> 
                    <data android:scheme="wear" android:host="*" android:pathPrefix="/abdmobile" /> 
               </intent-filter> 
       </service> 
   </application>
