Cordova Android Wear Plugin

The plugin has functions that allows your app to have bidirectional communication with Android Wear Smartwatch applications and Cordova applications.

Installation

With Cordova CLI, from npm:

$ cordova plugin add cordova-androidwear
$ cordova prepare

Usage

1. Add the plugin to your cordova project.

2. Bundle your watch apk in your project by following the instructions in the documentation.

Example

AndroidWear.onConnect(function(e) {
    alert("Connection Successfully Established - handle: " + e.handle);

    AndroidWear.onDataReceived(e.handle, function(e) {
        alert("Data received - handle: " + e.handle + " data: "+ e.data);
    });

    AndroidWear.sendData(e.handle, "Hello From Cordova!");
});

A slightly more complete example is available.

Notes

Please note with the introduction of Play Services 11.8.0, there's been a breaking change, requiring you to specify a capability in your wearable project of cordova_messaging. This is required for connect / disconnect sensitivity.
