|
|
<p>Watch faces in Android Wear leverage a dynamic digital canvas to tell time using colors,
|
|
animations, and relevant contextual information. The <a
|
|
href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.wearable.app">Android
|
|
Wear companion app</a> provides watch faces with different styles and shapes. When
|
|
users select one of the available watch faces on the wearable or on the companion app, the
|
|
wearable device previews the watch face and lets the user set configuration options.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Android Wear enables you to create custom watch faces for Wear devices. When users install a
|
|
handheld app that contains a <a href="{@docRoot}training/wearables/apps/index.html">wearable
|
|
app</a> with watch faces, they become available in the Android Wear companion app
|
|
on the handheld device and in the watch face picker on the wearable device.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This class teaches you to implement custom watch faces and to package them inside a wearable
|
|
app. This class also covers design considerations and implementation tips to ensure that your
|
|
designs integrate with system UI elements and are power-efficient.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> We recommend using <a
|
|
href="{@docRoot}sdk/index.html">Android Studio</a> for Android Wear development as
|
|
it provides project setup, library inclusion, and packaging conveniences that aren't available
|
|
in the Eclipse Android Developer Tools. This training assumes you are using Android Studio.</p>
