Gear Manager Settings for Gear S2
Hi,

I have a working client side only Gear S2 app (a wgt file) where I want to add some settings on the Gear Manager, but I have multiple problems/questions on this matter.

What I did until now, is creating a settings.xml file in the settings folder and adding the tizen:operation remote_settings param in the config.xml file. In short, I followed this link "https://developer.tizen.org/forums/web-application-development/gear-can-you-explain-settings.xml-and-updatedsettings.xml"

Questions:

1) the only way I can show the settings in the Gear Manager app of my smartphone is by creating a dummy APK file and adding th wgt file as asset. If I then install the apk file on my smartphone, I can see my application in the Gear Manager app. Is this the only way? Do I really need to create an APK file that does nothing? It's very difficult to develop an app this way...
2) If I try to open the settings of my app in the Gear Manager, I get a "Gear plugin stopped working" error. Already looked in the logcat file but no usefull info in there... What else can I do to pinpoint the problem? Any info is appriciated.

Best regards,
Gregory

Hi,

I observed same problem before and I think that you need to have a dummy apk for setting in the Gear Manager.

If there is someone who has actually done this on a Gear S2, would he be so kind to share his settings.xml file?

I would like to exclude a bad settings.xml file.

Hi,

As per this attached document of following link, I guess that settings.xml is available in Gear 1, Gear 2 and Gear S only.

I would suggest you to visit this link.

Thank you for the info!

So I only see one option left: creating a small android APK myself were settings can be entered.
