[Q] [QESTION] How to have small notification popup on wear face ? - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I'm the developer of wear face collection :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vuxia.wearFaceCollection
But when you have a new email, the notification takes about half of the screen.
On of the faces of samsung watch has small notification popup : like 25% the height of the screen.
If anyone know what API to call, please let me know.
Thanks!

As far as I know, its not currently supported, because custom watch faced aren't official supported. It'll come later this year, I read on G+

I can confirm this.

Not every thing is offical!
Create Layouts with the Wearable UI Library
There's an unofficial UI library that is automatically included when you create your wearable app with the Android Studio Project Wizard. You can also add the library to your build.gradle file with the following dependency declaration:
I can't say if this is of any help as I'm not a developer.
Seem a bit harsh the reply from the moderator !
As with most development on XDA its not offially supported as its normally ahead of the game!
That's why I came to this site.

Hi cybernico, Could you please point me to the right direction how to create a watchface using watch hands. Thx

Daniele
some news from Google+ user in this community https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/117941715311215801130
post say:
"In the next few days we will release the windows simulator, you will be able to navigate the UI of the HOT watch and learn how it will work on your wrist. Hope this will keep you busy until you receive your HOT Watch."
Also looks like the ship date has been bumped down again to February.
Simulator is here
From Kickstarted comments page report:
The simulator can be found here: http://www.hotsmartwatch.com/download/ with the password Simulator4HOT.
Oh man... I really hope this gets some Tasker support like AutoPebble. That is the one thing worrying me about this watch.
I hope to, Tasker is a must-have!

Good stuff, I've got my eye in this watch. Anyone received their HOT watch yet?
they just started production of pcb's last week, that's the only info PHTL has given so far
they will send out a shipping schedule 'soon', whenever that will be...
Correct SDK links
It appears the links were mishandled somewhere and all the files on the SDK page are corrupt. I made a post with working links here http://hotsmartwatch.forumflash.com/index.php?/topic/28-correct-sdk-download-info-inside/
The SDK offers a LOT of control. Good luck!

[Q] Android Wear - Themes and Watchfaces

Hi everyone,
I have not found this info so far, so I'm asking here:
Can Android Wear Smartwatches be equipped with custom watchfaces out of the box, like the Pebble? I know that Motorola is planning something like this, but I'd like to know, whether we'd be stuck with whatever Samsung, LG or whoever made the device allows, or if we can install Watchfaces from the Playstore/other sources? This would be a big factor for different screentypes, AMOLED could benefit greatly from Black and White watchfaces for example.
The same goes for the general theme/style. Is that alway "stock" Google Now look, or can we adjust it to fit our needs and/or to conserve power on AMOLED screens?
Thanks.
You can find Google I/O prese.tation on youtube and just find Android Wear presentation. It shows watchfaces, wallpapers etc.
Short answer - Yes you can change everything.

Thanks,
I was aware of the wallpapers, but not sure about watchfaces, since those are, according to what I read, the only things manufacturers (eg. Samsung, Sony et al) are allowed to customize. Now, just because Sammy is allowed to customized doesn't mean they'll allow me to customize...
I'll rewatch it and see what exactly they say...
UPDATE: I watched the presentaion again, but did not find any concrete evidence either way. Apps can have a custom UI, but I found nothing on 3rd party watchfaces.
Another question just popped up in my brain: What happens when the watch is not connected to the phone? How much functionality remains?
Also, can you actually answer a call on the watch? I'd assume not, since it has no speaker...

Regarding 3rd party watchfaces, that functionality isn't available today but has been promised in an upcoming release. Wear devices currently run Android 4.4W so I would assume it will roll out with L (if not before).
Just tested the functionality of the LG watch when not connected to a phone. It has limited functionality. No voice commands (because it normally uses the internet through your mobile device) but you do have access to the basics: steps, agenda, timers, timers alarms, stopwatch, etc and apps that don't require internet.
When you receive a call can answer/decline or decline & send a text (with preset and on the fly voice I think) straight from the watch but I believe you will need to use your phone or another Bluetooth device to actually talk the the person on the other end.
Hope this helps.
Thanks. That does help!

Any ideas how to make new watch faces for Android Wear? Doesn't seem to be something I can find in the docs/sdk.

Check with the android developer website for any new sdks
I did a quick look at the files i dumped from my watch. Samsung and LG use some com.google.android.clockwork.wearable library that doesn't seem to be public. So as of now I dont think there is a way to make watch faces just yet.

So far more on notification for Androidwear I did not see any watch face sample app for Androidwear, but if you see one please send us some info.
As for now Android Wear doesn't support Custom Watchfaces but I'm pretty sure they will include SDK and other stuff to develop them.
Android Wear is still not fully finished product and they will add more features within weeks or months.

Yes your right, when Android Wear was announced I was so excited about the possibility of watch faces, and tweak the UI but Google wont allow it, and the watch faces is still out of reach

K88H Is it possible update ?

Hello all,
I wanted a information.
I recently bought the following Smartwatch: K88H. The smartwatch works pretty well with IOS and I don't think it can be seen that the restrictions of IOS.
It is possible to update the firmware inside ?
Thanks to all
Vincenzo
Same boat
+1 - I have been reading what I can find on the internet about hacking/updating K88H but unfortunately there isn't a satisfactory amount of resources regarding this smart watch.
It's a great gadget though - if in doubt, just buy it, a great value for the price!
Back to the topic of this thread - There is value in looking for resources that talk about hacking/updating nuclear os as it's operating system that the watch is using.
Hello Guys,
Is anybody using K88H on Apple Iphone ? I am facing few issues can you please help
1. Which app do you suggest to be downloaded in iPhone, which is stable and can be used to access all function in watch.
2. I am unable to read my text messages from watch (which i can if i connect from Android phone)
3. In android I had "Mediatek SmartDevice" and "Fundo Wear" app which had the folder called "Applications" in the app. I was able to download few other watch faces or yahoo weather from it. However i am unable to find it in the iOS apk of "iOS Mediatek SmartDevice" and iOS Fundowear" am i doing something wrong?
Thanks

I also have the K88H. I did not like some of the screens on the Notifications. It has a huge "BLOCK" button that if you touch it the screen pops up asking if you want to block these kinds of messages. I blocked all the apps I wanted in the Mediatek SmartDevice app on my Android Phone. So why would I want that second button in the way?
Long story short I used Golem_'s tutorial and found a better firmware. Follow his instructions to the letter. Make sure you back up your existing firmware before continuing. Our watch is the MTK2502A 128MB. My favorite firmware so far is the X-Watch firmware. Golem_ also has a collection of firmware for you to begin with. Engjoy...

Watchface complications

Hello All,
I am developing a watchface in Android studio in java targeting Android 12.
I need to add complications data on my watchface. I want that complication should be set to a default system complication without requiring user to configure it.
I also found it challenging to handle double click/touch gesture on the complications in wear os.
Is there any good and complete tutorial/guide/sample for adding complications on wear os watchfaces in java?
I found one sample on the android developer website but it is not sufficient.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks all.

I'm not sure that is even possible? The whole complication system gets data from the system. Your watch face only gets to receive the data the user has allowed via the system dialog your app invokes.

I made a watch face, but ended up not using the system's support for drawing complications, rather I grabbed the data and did the drawing myself. That also made it trivial to handle clicking, since there isn't anything else to capture events.
The example I link to below suggests you can just not pass tap events to the drawable (if it's not doing what you want). I'm going to guess the standard thing is just to invoke the pending intent, which you can do yourself.

But since I was targeting an older watch (stuck on Android 8) and using Java, I had to go back to a much older version of the code.
