Communication between Tizen wearable and Android phone

Communication between Tizen wearable and Android phone

BY 13 Oct 2016 Native Application Development

Hi,

I’m developing a native application for the Gear Fit 2 that needs to send accelerometer and gyroscope data to an app running on a connected Android phone for processing. I have managed to create a simple native Tizen app that displays sensor values on-screen, but what is the best way to communicate in real-time with a phone?

I’m new to Tizen development but have experience with other wearables.  On other wearable platforms I’ve worked with, there is an API specifically for real-time communication between watch and phone, but I haven’t found one in the Tizen docs… does one exist?  Should I be using the Samsung Accessory SDK?  Or one of the Bluetooth APIs?

 

thanks
