I'm not a very big fan of Google play services. I don't know what they do under the hood and they are not open source.
I would still like to connect my app with Android Wear to have a basic communication without the google lib. Is it possible?
Your phone has bluetooth, your wear device has bluetooth, you can connect them using the standard bluetooth api. Or, as both devices have wifi, you can make them connect through a server. You have to write your own server for that, i.e. your own "Play".

I want to share information from browser using bluetooth but chrome extensions does not have a bluetooth api.So is there a way to send the information from the extension or from the browser itself to the app and use the android apis for bluetooth?
If you are not insistent on using Bluetooth, why don't you try maintaining a service + DB somewhere and make calls there, that way all of your clients can access the data, they just need to hit the right endpoints?
If you are insistent on using Bluetooth, I know firefox has Bluetooth APIs that let browsers use Bluetooth to connect with devices.
I'm working on an application where i'm planning to get the Heart Rate Vitals from Samsung Gear Active 2 and 3 watches by developing a Tizen Watch App(Web Applicatoin) which keep sending the vitals to the Android app either using Peer to Peer connection or Web API. So far i have a clear idea on how to get this feature done in Android, but for iOS App i want the same vitals to be read from samsung gear.
But it is not possible with Tizen Watch app communicating with iOS App.
So I'm thinking to Implement a RESTFull API Services in the watch application, which i should able to implement those same services in iOS to read the vitals data.
If the above approach is achievable, i have few questions related to the same.
Is it possible to have RESTFul API Services implementation in Tizen Watch App (Web Application).
Does Tizen has its own networking layer to implement RESTFul API Services?
Is there any other way of sending Tizen Watch App data to iOS Application ?
Any help/suggesstions is appreciated.
Thanks
I'm trying to implement Android device administration on a range of company-owned devices. The network these devices will be on does not have an internet connection - It will only have Wi-Fi connection to the enterprise network.
I have the device working with a policy controller, all hard-coded into the app loaded via Android Studio.
My next step is creating an Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) console, but the documentation seems to explain that it's cloud-based and require Google accounts. Is there a way to implement this functionality on an offline secure network without Google accounts?
Yes, there is a way to implement device management functionality on an offline network.
Headwind MDM, the project I am working on, is a self hosted mobile device management solution which can manage Android devices without Internet connection (using Wi-Fi or private APN in mobile networks). Also, it is open source so you can adjust the code for your needs.
The only exception is that you may need Internet connection during the initial setup of your Android devices, because some models require access to Google Play Protect when installing the device owner application.
Working on an Android app which utilizes ArcGIS Android SDK. In the project, I am having a requirement where in I need to show some maps of our client. Those services are all secured and can be accessed only via VPN. The VPN server type is Juniper for which I had installed Junos Pulse app in my phone. Made the VPN connection in Junos Pulse app. Trying to make a ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer instance by passing the URL of my client's map service. But it's giving me EsriSecurityException.
Would like to know is my app not able to recognize the VPN connection made in Junos Pulse app? Other than providing the credentials (while making the VPN connection) do I still have to pass the credentials by my app as well? If yes, in what format?
Can somebody please guide on how can I utilize some secured Map Services of a particular domain?
Thanks.
Get your VPN connection working and your ArcGIS services will work. This is a problem with Junos Pulse, not with ArcGIS.
I have been looking into Google LVL to address stolen apps issues.
The API states the device need to "Run a system image on which the Google Play client application is preinstalled"
This cannot happend on a Wear device, but I am wondering if it can leverage the host phone instance of Google Client.
Has anyone faced this scenario?
You can't leverage the phone instance directly but a common approach at getting anything the phone can provide (network status etc) is to use the messaging api to send a custom message to request the information and get a message from the phone as a response. You could easily add to your wearable listener service on the mobile side to call the licencing and then wrap up a response and send a message to the wearable.
Depending on what your app does I'd try to put this as part of an existing message from mobile to wear to save unnecessary chatter.
