Integrating Android Wear

If I want to integrate Android Wear into my app, do I need to rewrite the whole app for the Wear Device or can the App on the wear device use the SharedPrefs, functions and so on from the "normal" Device? Is there a good tutorial for that?

You should consider app for Android Wear device as a separate app (it's inside separate apk bundled in parent apk i.e actual Android app) that communicates with your master Android app on the device. It's run directly on the wearable device and does not have direct access to things like SharedPreferences. Of course you can implement such access using Data Layer API.

I'd recommend you to start from Android Wear official developer guide: https://developer.android.com/training/building-wearables.html
