1 2 Android WearNotifications Sample 3 =================================== 4 5 Sample demonstrates best practices for using NotificationStyle Notifications (Inbox, 6 BigPicture, BigText, and Messaging) for both Mobile apps and native/local Android Wear 7 apps. It also covers Notifications on Wear 1.+ and Wear 2.0. 8 9 Introduction 10 ------------ 11 12 Steps for trying out the sample: 13 * Compile and install the mobile app onto your mobile device or emulator (for mobile 14 scenario). 15 * Compile and install the wearable app onto your Wear device or emulator (for Wear 16 scenario). 17 18 This sample demonstrate best practices for using [NotificationStyle][1] 19 [Notifications][2] for two scenarios: 20 21 1. Launching Notifications from a Mobile app WITHOUT a native Android Wear app. 22 Notifications appear both on mobile and Wear (bridged to appear like a local/native 23 Wear app). 24 25 2. Launching Notifications from a Native/Local Android Wear app. Notifications only 26 appear on Wear device. 27 28 The Mobile and Wear apps demonstrate [BigTextStyle][3], [BigPictureStyle][4], 29 [InboxStyle][5], and [MessagingStyle][6] Notifications. 30 31 Although there are two apps (Mobile and Wear) running, each should be looked at as a 32 separate experience. That is, neither app uses nor relies on the other. 33 34 They are packaged together simply to show both scenarios in one easy sample. 35 36 Both apps also cover the Notifications being displayed on Wear 1.+ and/or Wear 2.0 and 37 using some of the new features of Wear 2.0 (inline actions). 38 39 [1]: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/NotificationCompat.Style.html 40 [2]: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/NotificationCompat.html 41 [3]: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle.html 42 [4]: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/NotificationCompat.BigPictureStyle.html 43 [5]: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/NotificationCompat.InboxStyle.html 44 [6]: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/NotificationCompat.MessagingStyle.html 45 46 Pre-requisites 47 -------------- 48 49 - Android SDK 26 50 - Android Build Tools v26.0.1 51 - Android Support Repository 52 53 Screenshots 54 ------------- 55 56 <img src="screenshots/mobile-1.png" height="400" alt="Screenshot"/> <img src="screenshots/mobile-2.png" height="400" alt="Screenshot"/> <img src="screenshots/wear-1.png" height="400" alt="Screenshot"/> <img src="screenshots/wear-2.png" height="400" alt="Screenshot"/> 57 58 Getting Started 59 --------------- 60 61 This sample uses the Gradle build system.
