Add Android Wear Module To My App

I want to make an Android Wear that will be installed when you install the Phone's app from the play store.

I looked around and found that the way to do this is to create new Android Wear Module and build it there.

But, I have a problem with that. Because the phone module minimum SDK is 13 and the Wear Minimum SDK must be 20 (4.4W), I can't install the app itself on my phone, Only on the watch.

How can I fix this to work? Thanks (And sorry about my not-so-good english).

The phone minSdkVersion should stay the same (as it was - 13 in your case). The Wearable "part" of app should have minSdkVersion set to 20, but this is not a problem - Wearable app won't be installed on your phone (only on watch).

Phone apk just holds the wearable apk inside, but wearable apk doesn't affect phone app in any way. The only constraint that wearable app adds (to the existing phone app) is that phone app manifest should include all permissions declared in wearable app manifest. That is because user have to agree for using all permissions (by "both" apps) at once.
