I want to make an application that can be controlled from the application on the phone at the same time with Android wear os. I would appreciate it if you could suggest a source or an example for this.
Android XYZTouristAttractions Sample is good place to start
This sample aims to be as close to a real world example of a mobile and Wear app combination as possible. It has a more refined design and also provides a practical example of how a mobile app would interact and communicate with its wear counterpart.
looked everywhere but no one had an answer to this sadly.
Been trying to use an android app that comes with the Android development tools called SDKcontroller. This app is suppose to let me test the multi touch capabilities of my apps. This app is suppose to send input information from a real android device to the emulator. It should let me control the emulator by using the touch sensor in my android device.
I fallowed the instruction and the app is telling me that is connected to the emulator but that is as far as i get. I can touch and touch all I want but the emulator is not responding.
Has somebody been able to get this to work? If so please let me know.

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'm currently developing an app for android that uses the flash. My miserable problem is that I don't have a device featuring a flashlight... Is there any emulator in the world that shows the flash state?
Thank you guys in advance!
José.
There is no emulator that can allow you test the flashlight. You need a real device for it.
You need to add the permission also to your manifest file - "android.permission.FLASHLIGHT"
If you are working with laptop then You can use bluestack to check your application related to flashlight it will work
The android emulator does not work with "flashlight apps".
I was also disappointed to hear this when I started developing my flashlight app quite some time ago. I haven't found a solution either, except for having a development device (my phone) to test the app on.
In general, it helps to have a development device on hand because the emulator is not always 100% accurate.
Best of luck.
