1 Android EmbeddedApp Sample 2 =================================== 3 4 This simple app demonstrates how to embed a wearable app into a phone app. 5 6 Introduction 7 ------------ 8 9 Wearable apps can be installed directly onto Android Wear devices during development, using either a direct ADB 10 connection or ADB-over-Bluetooth. However, when releasing your app to end users, you must package your 11 wearable APK inside of a traditional APK for distribution via a paired phone. 12 13 When end users install this APK onto their phone, the wearable APK will be automatically detected, extracted, and pushed 14 to their any paired wearable devices. 15 16 This sample demonstrates how to properly package a wearable app for release in this manner. The wearable app is inside 17 the `Wearable` directory, and the phone app (which will be used as a container for distribution) is the `Application` 18 directory. There is nothing special about these apps, other than the `wearApp` dependency in the (host) phone app's 19 `build.gradle` file: 20 21 ```groovy 22 dependencies { 23 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:6.5.+' 24 wearApp project(':Wearable') 25 } 26 ``` 27 28 This dependency will automatically package the wearable APK during a **release build** (e.g. using the "Build > Generate 29 Signed APK..." command in Android Studio). Note that this packaging is **not** performed for debug builds for 30 performance reasons. During development, your wearable and phone apps must still be pushed individually to their 31 respective devices using an ADB connection. 32 33 Pre-requisites 34 -------------- 35 36 - Android SDK v21 37 - Android Build Tools v21.1.1 38 - Android Support Repository 39 40 Screenshots 41 ------------- 42 43 <img src="screenshots/embedded_wearable_app.png" height="400" alt="Screenshot"/> <img src="screenshots/phone_app.png" height="400" alt="Screenshot"/> 44 45 Getting Started 46 --------------- 47 48 This sample uses the Gradle build system.
