Now, open command prompt (CTRL + R -> ‘cmd’) and change directories to ‘adt-bundle-windows-x86-2014xxxx\sdk\platform-tools’. The version of Android Wear that works for me is 1.840. Next, you will have to install the Android Wear companion app on your Phone emulator. API Level 19 is Android KitKat 4.4.2 which satisfies the minimum required Android version for connecting to an Android Wear device.
I am not sure if it would work without a Google APIs image but my guess would be no, as a lot of Android Wear relies on Google Play Services. Notice that I use the Google APIs virtual image instead of the Android Image. The version of Android SDK tools I use is 23.0.2 and for Android SDK Platform-tools is 20.Īnd the Android Virtual image versions are, Graphics: Intel Integrated HD / NVIDIA NVS 4200M
But I’ll do my best to give you as much detail as possible in the smallest of content write-up that I can. You can still develop for Android Wear.īefore we go into the details of how to setup your environment, do note that these are settings that work for me and on my work laptop. Yes, you read that right! If you don’t have a phone running Android 4.0.3 and above, and no watch either all is not lost. After a lot of struggle, I finally managed to connect Android Wear running as an emulator to an Android Phone, also running as an emulator.
