Hi there!
I've been asked to do some R&D on making two Android tablets' screens work as one, like some kind of extended desktop. I've been looking for apps that do the job, but I've only seen this feature between a computer and a tablet. The closest thing I've found is the Pinch interface for iOS, but there seems to be nothing similar on Android. Here's an example:
youtube v=jRGLkj-PsCc
(can't post links yet, so there's the video ID from youtube)
I've been told that programming a daemon that listens to the touch events and sends them from one tablet to another could do the trick, but I'd like to explore other options first.
Any thoughts on this subject?
Thanks in advance.
Hey, <insert request that you ignore the fact that I have no clue what I'm doing/am a noob here> I was wondering if it's possible to create a watch face background that changes based on the card being previewed, similarly to the "simple" watch face that came as a watch face for the moto 360. If it is possible, are there any guides, resources, etc. that you guys could point me towards, or if someone has recreated that face or a similar one and the code is available that would be fantastic.
Thank you all very much!
Note: while I really appreciate any and all help, I'm relatively inexperienced with programming, and entirely new to programming for android, so explanations will likely confuse me; developer resources or tutorials, or even better, sample code, would probably be a lot more helpful, so I can jump in and start changing things, or dig through the syntax and stuff as some sort of context for the code I'm looking at (I'm more experienced with graphic design and have just started to get into programming outside of basic stuff with C#, VB.net, and python).

Hey BioToxic! Nice to meet you.
I am porting a friends Watch Face to Android. I can tell you that it is entirely possible, you can pretty much modify and manipulate the background to anything of like. I've been working in the Watch Face environment for a few weeks now and have a good solid understanding of how it works (previous knowledge helped, of course)
There is a lot of Java coding involved, if you are not familiar with that or familiar with how Android works it might be tough, you'll be writing code and not understand how it works.
A good starting point would be looking at the classes available in the WatchFace API.
[developer.android.com/reference/android/support/wearable/watchface/package-summary.html
Another good starting point would be getting your feet wet with the emulator, or better yet an actual device. Play around with the sample modules available.
May be its a silly question but surprisingly there is not a single article on the web about this!?
Well, Apart from the BASIC difference between them, which is, one is android os and another is android wear os, what are the pros and cons? What more? please help?
I understand -
1. OS difference.
2. Watchface limitations and watchface functionality limitation. Android wear watchfaces can be touched to change various feature depending on watch face which so far no Android watchfaces can do.
what else?
Hey everyone,
I'm fairly new to the world of smartwatches, but I am doing some work where I'd like to be able to send some information 'covertly' to a smartwatch.
I assumed I might be able to just pick up a cheap smartwatch and install an APK of my own making on it as an app, relaying information from a connected phone or similar - however it would seem the majority of the cheaper brand smartwatches are just set up with a suite of applications and you can't change them.
I then realised that I don't even need the normal 'features' of a smartwatch - I only want to run the one android 'app'. I thought maybe there might be a way of putting some custom firmware on a device that would let me do something like this, which led me to your forums - but I'm a bit lost looking through in honesty.
So I'm looking for a bit of advice as to what type of smartwatch might be useful here, and if my previous idea is at all possible? Thanks for reading
Hi,
Is there such a thing as a Wear OS implementation SDK? Like the emulator, but without the presentation/display layer?
For example, if I wanted to create a web page that could be paired to the phone and used the Wear APIs to show data and/or notifications, is there any code I could base it on?
I was think of going looking into the emulator but figured there may be something more tailored for this.
Thanks for any help
