Communication between Tizen wearable and Android phone

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

Hi~,

Samsung Accessory Protocol (SAP) enables Gear apps to communicate with Android apps.

You may try Samsung Accessory SDK to communicate between Tizen wearable and Android phone.

See this link: http://developer.samsung.com/gear/develop/creating-your-first-app/native-companion/setup-sdk

Read from section "Native (Companion)"

  1.  Advanced Set up
  2.  Create a native app project
  3.  Use the Samsung Accessory Protocol (SAP) API
  4.  Configuration
  5.  Interact with the application on the Android device
  6.  Build a simple UI
  7.  Run a native app
  8.  Use the Accerssory SDK in Android
  9.  Gear Emulator set up for testing companion type apps

Hope it will work for you.
