1 2Android WearNotifications Sample 3=================================== 4 5Sample demonstrates best practices for using NotificationStyle Notifications (Inbox, 6 BigPicture, BigText, and Messaging) for both Mobile apps and native/local Android Wear 7 apps. It also covers Notifications on Wear 1.+ and Wear 2.0. 8 9Introduction 10------------ 11 12Steps for trying out the sample: 13* Compile and install the mobile app onto your mobile device or emulator (for mobile 14scenario). 15* Compile and install the wearable app onto your Wear device or emulator (for Wear 16scenario). 17 18This sample demonstrate best practices for using [NotificationStyle][1] 19[Notifications][2] for two scenarios: 20 211. Launching Notifications from a Mobile app WITHOUT a native Android Wear app. 22Notifications appear both on mobile and Wear (bridged to appear like a local/native 23Wear app). 24 252. Launching Notifications from a Native/Local Android Wear app. Notifications only 26appear on Wear device. 27 28The Mobile and Wear apps demonstrate [BigTextStyle][3], [BigPictureStyle][4], 29[InboxStyle][5], and [MessagingStyle][6] Notifications. 30 31Although there are two apps (Mobile and Wear) running, each should be looked at as a 32separate experience. That is, neither app uses nor relies on the other. 33 34They are packaged together simply to show both scenarios in one easy sample. 35 36Both apps also cover the Notifications being displayed on Wear 1.+ and/or Wear 2.0 and 37using some of the new features of Wear 2.0 (inline actions). 38 39[1]: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/NotificationCompat.Style.html 40[2]: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/NotificationCompat.html 41[3]: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle.html 42[4]: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/NotificationCompat.BigPictureStyle.html 43[5]: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/NotificationCompat.InboxStyle.html 44[6]: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/NotificationCompat.MessagingStyle.html 45 46Pre-requisites 47-------------- 48 49- Android SDK 26 50- Android Build Tools v27.0.2 51- Android Support Repository 52 53Screenshots 54------------- 55 56<img src="screenshots/mobile-1.png" height="400" alt="Screenshot"/> <img src="screenshots/mobile-2.png" height="400" alt="Screenshot"/> <img src="screenshots/wear-1.png" height="400" alt="Screenshot"/> <img src="screenshots/wear-2.png" height="400" alt="Screenshot"/> 57 58Getting Started 59--------------- 60 61This sample uses the Gradle build system.
