Re: WatchKit & AndroidWear

The API has changed (has become more strict). Apps have to adhere to the new specifications, or the Google Play Store won't allow them to be downloaded to "Android Wear" compatible watches. It works with my watch because it isn't recognized as a true Android Wear device, but instead as a tablet.

Wow! That's a big'en! I like how it can be removed from the band, and held as a super small tablet, yet worn as a giant watch. But... in the end, I still want Android Wear support in LiveCode. http://www.amazon.com/NEPTUNE-Pine-32GB-Smartwatch-Packaging/dp/B00NQTO1PM/ On Mon, Mar 16, 2015 at

Have you checked out the Addroid Neptune Pine watch? Different than the rest because it's self contained, no need for a smartphone. But it's huge! On Mon, Mar 16, 2015 at 10:01 AM Skip Kimpel wrote: > Thank you... Sounds interesting! > > SKIP > > > On Mar 16, 2015, at 10:48 AM, Roger Eller >

Roger, I did... thank you. Very interesting conversation and I will be interested to see how strong developers (outside of LC) latch onto the WatchKit and develop apps for it. I think it will be one of those make or break elements for Apple. I am interested, however, in digging more into the Ad

I have built an app that uses accelerometer from LC7 to Google Glass, and it worked ok. That doesn’t mean that watch specific features (e.g., heart rate) will work without new functions in LiveCode. > On Mar 16, 2015, at 8:03 AM, Roger Eller wrote: > > Does it have to use the LC 7 engine? Wh

Does it have to use the LC 7 engine? Why not use what fits, LC 6? Like I said, my early watch accepts LC apps built with 6, but a modern Android Wear watch has a more strict definition of what is allowed. OTOH, if Raspberry Pi handles LC 7, a smart watch should - based on hardware specs alone. O

Looks like that will be much simpler to implement because it's a full app that's installed on the watch. Still I think there will be issues with app size because of the size of the LC 7 engine. On 16 Mar 2015, at 12:07 pm, Roger Eller wrote: > If it's not feasible for WatchKit, then how about

I haven't looked at WatchKit yet, but I have looked into LC apps for smart watches running AndroidWear OS. Previously, a lite Android 4.4w (KitKat for wearables) existed, until the official API was announced in January, 2015. https://developer.android.com/wear I look forward to hearing from Runt
