| This sample demonstrates how to create watch faces for android wear and includes a phone app |
| and a wearable app. The wearable app has a variety of watch faces including analog, digital, |
| opengl, calendar, steps, interactive, etc. It also includes a watch-side configuration example. |
| The phone app includes a phone-side configuration example. |
| |
| Because watch face apps do not have a default Activity in their project, you will need to set your |
| Configurations to "Do not launch Activity" for both the Wear and Application modules. If you are |
| unsure how to do this, please review the "Run Starter project" section in the |
| [Google Watch Face Code Lab][1]. |
| |
| For the Fit Distance related watch face, authentication IS a requirement to request distance from |
| Google Fit on Wear. Otherwise, distance will always come back as zero (or stay at whatever the |
| distance was prior to you de-authorizing the watch face). |
| |
| To authenticate and communicate with Google Fit, you must create a project in the Google Developers |
| Console, activate the Fitness API, create an OAuth 2.0 client ID, and register the public |
| certificate from your signed APK. More details can be found [here][2]. |
| |
| If the user has not installed or setup the Google Fit app on their phone and their Wear device has |
| not configured the Google Fit Wear App, then you may get zero steps until one of the two is setup. |
| Please note, many Wear devices configure the Google Fit Wear App beforehand. |
