[Wearable][Gear]How to launch Samsung Gear Apps from my application?

I create a Tizen application for Gear S2 and I want to add feature to install another application (I know app id, name and other information).

Also I know how to launch Galaxy Apps or Samsung Apps from my Gear S2 application to install something but I can't find any information how to launch Samsung Gear Apps from my code.

The question is how to launch Samsung Gear (Samsung Gear Apps) application installed on my phone from my code (from application on Gear S2). I just need to know correct url.

 

Note:

To call Samsung Apps I use the tizen.application.launchAppControl() function and pass data like this:

 var appid = "com.samsung.w-manager-service"
         ,   type = "phone"
         ,   url = "samsungapps://MainPage/"
         ,    extra_data = [
                 new tizen.ApplicationControlData("type", [type]),
               new tizen.ApplicationControlData("deeplink", [url])
             ]
         ,    appControl = new tizen.ApplicationControl(
                "http://tizen.org/appcontrol/operation/default",
                null,
                null,
                null,
                extra_data
         )


I would appreciate any information you could provide.

Hello Kostiantyn S!

use the next code (Native)

        app_control_h a_control_inner;

        app_control_create(&a_control_inner);
        app_control_set_operation(a_control_inner, APP_CONTROL_OPERATION_DEFAULT);
        app_control_set_app_id(a_control_inner, "com.samsung.w-manager-service");
        app_control_add_extra_data(a_control_inner, "type", "gear");
        app_control_add_extra_data(a_control_inner, "deeplink", "samsungapps://MainCategoryList/");
        app_control_send_launch_request(a_control_inner, NULL, NULL);

        app_control_destroy(a_control_inner);

Hello,

 

When I watched your code, I think you are creating the web application.

As Mykola Solyanko's comment, you need to use the AppControl API.

 

There are sample web application using AppControl in Tizen SDK. (AppCallee, AppCaller)

I think it will be helpful to you. It is very simple and easy sample

 

Please refer it.

Thanks.

Hi,

Does this mean that we can open Samsung Gear Appstore on Android phone connected with Gear S2, if we run the above commands on Gear S2 ?

Mykola Solyanko

Hi,

Yes

Hi,

 

I am developing web application for Gear S and Gear S2.

I tried to launch Gear Appstore on Android Phone from Gear S Emulator.

I am getting the following error:

launchUrl failed: given package is not found

 

Is it not possible to launch through Emulator or am I missing something ?

I also checked the comments in the thread

https://developer.tizen.org/ko/forums/web-application-development/wearable-send-intent-phone?langswitch=ko

 

but got the same error.

Hi,

It is not possible to launch through Emulator. You should use Gear S2 device only.

I tried with Actual GearS2 device and it was successfull.

Thank You very much for the information.

Hi,

How can I get the url of any particular Gear app available in Samsung Gear apps store.

I know a way to get url of app in Google Playstore, but unable to locate in Gear Appstore.
