I want to develop a application which is a standalone application and doesn't let other applications to be run on the device. I understood that they are typically a kiosk application and Android supports it natively. However, I would like to create a web app using reactjs and run it on a tablet with kiosk mode. Is it possible? If so please help me with the details
I am wondering if it is possible to run an tizen wearable app in background. I need to run an app in background. I am using several sensors and I need to save these data continuously.
another thing Can we get the sensor in Samsung Gear S2 data such as Heart Rate directly from an android app directly without any widget on the Gear S2.
I appreciate any help or suggestion.
Thanks,
I'm also new on this and I'm starting with Samsung Gear S2.
When I read your post, I thought I read somewhere that Gear S2 would only run web app, yet, I opened the Tizen IDE, used a sample native app, and installed it an ran on Gear S2, so, I would say that you probably can do it. I would just explore the native sample apps for start, you'll have to develop in c/c++ and as you might know, you'll need to instal the Tizen IDE and the Samsung Extension SDK (http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000248)
hope it helps.
It wasn't possible in the first Tizen version that supported wearable (2.2) but became possible later (2.3) when native and hybrid apps were added to the wearable profile.
Not sure how running Android apps on Tizen is really implemented, but I'd expect the chances of Anrdoid apps getting access to device information (sensor and other) is fairly unlikely, as those come through Tizen-specific APIs with also Tizen-specific privilege requirements - the mapping would be complex, but who knows, someone may have managed it. You don't need a widget for that though, the same device information API (and more) is available through native apps.
Yes it is possible to create wearable background app but only with Tizen 2.3 & above and only in Native app versions not in Web apps.
If you want to build app in web version then u can write your service in native and UI in web app and make the app as hybrid app.
Follow the guide in link below to pack a hybrid app:

I am new to Android programming. I am developing a wearable application. So far, I have a mobile and wear module. All I want to test is that a button on the handheld app triggers a notification to appear on the wearable device.
To test it, I have both physical devices (Watch and Mobile). I have the LG Watch R and an Android mobile device. I have ADB debugging enabled on both devices. I downloaded the Android Wear app on my handheld and it syncs fine with the watch. I have both devices connected to my laptop through USB.
How do I test the whole project?
Do I have to run the mobile module first and then the wear module? I tried researching Google's examples but they only explain a handheld connected to a wear emulator.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
It doesn't matter which is loaded on first unless you are debugging. If you're just monitoring Logcat then you can switch between the two devices fairly easily in Android Studio.
You don't need to rebuild each of the separate modules each time either. For example, if you make changes to the handheld module and not the wear module then you only have to build the handheld.
I have a Android phone without service. (no phone company I am using with it) Am I able to test my Android app with this phone? If yes what step I should go? I am using Eclipse using HTML5 and phoneGap to develop app.
Should work fine.
Just remember to connect to wifi if your app requires the internet in order to work.
I have been developing an Android application and testing the orientation sensor using SensorSimulator. It's great, but I would really like to test it out on an actual device.
My problem is that I do not have an Android device. I do however have an iPod. Does an app exist that could send the iPod's orientation information to the android emulator on the PC?
I think there's no way except you develop an app yourself to do that!!
