Wish Android Wear Library

[postasat]

Hi all,
I need/wish an android library to send and receive simple text string from phone to watch and from watch to phone.
I know that Barx made a good "Wearable DataLayer Library" but is not possible to use with latest Play Services.
I hope in community and in Erel.
Thank you everybody !

I know that Barx made a good "Wearable DataLayer Library" but is not possible to use with latest Play Services.

Why not? Using B4A 6 i guess you should just change the requirement for the old android-support-v4-jar with the new classname in the maven-repo

Post your project / error if you run into errors.
The complete errormessage may help

I'm using the dynamic example from Barx:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/wearable-datalayer.49968/#post-311888

I modified for the last google play services adding the following line

#AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gms:play-services-location

and deleting the previous:

#AdditionalRes: C:\Program Files\adt-bundle\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130729\sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res, com.google.android.gms

When I compile the "wearable" app of the example I have the following error:

Compiling generated Java code. Error
B4A line: 34
DL.Initialize(\
javac 1.8.0_60
src\barxdroid\wearable\example\dynamicmessage\main.java:334: error: cannot access DataApi
mostCurrent._dl.Initialize(processBA,"DL");
^
class file for com.google.android.gms.wearable.DataApi not found
1 error

the line 34 in the wearable example is the following:

DL.Initialize("DL")

and in the globals DL is:

Dim DL As WearableDataLayer

This error happen in the "mobile" version of the example code for the same reason.

I think it must be updated the library but I'm not sure.

Thanks,
Roberto.

I modified for the last google play services adding the following line

But you did not add the wear api

#AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable

Try to add it and check again

I don´t have any wear-device

 

[DonManfred]

javac 1.8.0_60

You may try to update java too...
I´m using jdk1.8.0_102

With your help, now I can compile wearable and mobile app.
I updated jdk to 1.8.0_102.
After install the mobile version on phone, just when it opens, crash immediately with the following error:

** Activity (main) Pause, UserClosed = false **
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
** Activity (main) Resume **

As techknight had written here https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/wearable-datalayer.49968/page-7 there were breaking changes in latest Google play services version which result in the exact error you have in the logs https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/3mehbb/breaking_changes_in_google_play_services_81/ . So an update to the library or a new one is needed. Really hope I could do it but I simply don't have the know how.
