Android Wear

INTRODUCTIONToday users are moving towards a Multi Screen world where they have access to different form factors like that of notebooks, tablets and smart phones catering to their different needs. Wearable Devices are set to add a new dimension to this Multi Screen World

Key Success Factors for Wearable devices

Number of sensors it supportsNumber of Applications available on it




Android WearAndroid Wear is a customized Android Version for wearable devices like smart watches

Android Wear devices are powerful in terms of features and are also small enough to replace regular wristwatches

It provides contextual information based on users current environment and captures users behavior. Users can also view notifications and take action against each notification from their wearable devices

Android Wear relies heavily on Google, a Virtual Digital Assistant available on all Android mobile devices

Android Wear devices have huge market potential as they support many in built health related sensors compared to other competitors

Google has released the Android Wear SDK in the recent Google I/O event and is open for developers to start building applications for Wearable device

ANDROID WEAR APP DEVELOPMENT

Developing Application for Android Wear requires additional SDKs as its form factor differs from Android smart phones and voice is the primary input by the end user.

Wearable SDK

Android Wear SDK comes with a set of tools and APIs for Wear Application development. It includes the following:

Android Wear Emulator – Helps to run applications and its servicesUsers can view Android device notifications as cards on the connected Wearable devices as well on the connected Wear EmulatorDevelopers can use new notification APIs to extend the features of their existing application using voice replies or notification pagesAllows developing custom application and User Interfaces




Android Wear

ANDROID WEAR APP DEVELOPMENTKey Features/APIs

User Interface: It is imperative for the developers to design great User Interfaces for their Apps considering small form factor of wearable devices.

Android Wear supports two types of UI formats:

Suggest (Context Stream) – This is a vertical list of Google Now cards that can show information based on current time and user location. Only one card can be displayed at a time. However user can swipe vertically to view other cards

Demand (Cue Card) – This is a list of actions, which are triggered by user’s voice command. Developer can match these commands with their applications, when multiple applications are mapped to the same action

Stream vs. Cue Card




Android Wear

ANDROID WEAR APP DEVELOPMENTNotifications: It appear as cards and they are a core part of the Android Wear experience. Notification can be designed in a different way to include some of the below items based on notification type, priority etc.

Images• Card can have background images to provide contextual glanceability

• Landscape images are more suitable as these images move horizontally with swipe

Pages :When the core message is longer than what can fit within a single primary card, then you can add pages/cards which are placed to the right of the primary card. It is always recommended not to have more than 3 pages when your notification contains actions.

Actions : Applications need to add actions to the content when users need to act on information shown on screen. Actions are shown on the right side of content and most used actions need to be added first for easy access. Actions consist of an icon and a text caption.




Android Wear

ANDROID WEAR APP DEVELOPMENT

Application Icon : By default the application launcher icon is placed on the cards, however developers have option to hide it on need basis.

Stacked notifications :You can consider this option if your application can produce multiple notifications concurrently.

Voice Replies : Messaging applications generally make use of hands-free dictation to create short messages/reply. You can provide up to five suggested replies for users to choose from.

BEYOND WEARABLES

The emergence of wearable devices has led to the rise of different vertical specific platforms for these devices. Google has already announced its much anticipated health platform, Google Fit in Google I/O 2014 which will collect health data and make it accessible via cloud. Its main goal is to standardize health and fitness data which is used on Android platforms (including Google Glass and Android Wear).

Google Fit will provide a collection of APIs for developers to aggregate health and fitness data. It will allow developers to easily plug these APIs to add health and fitness features in their Android applications.

In future, BYOD will be extended to wearable devices, which will bring new challenges as well as opportunities. There will be a need for enterprises to manage Wearable devices also and it will in turn create more opportunities for MDM vendors.
