Android: getting a "missing feature watch" error

Question

I developed wear app and mobile app separate with the same package name. After that I embedded the signed wear apk to the Mobile app SDK.

After embedded when I try to run into mobile am getting an error "MISSING features watch"

For embedded am following:

1. Copy the signed wearable app to your handheld project's res/raw directory

2. Create a res/xml/wearable_app_desc.xml

   1 1.0 wearable_app

3. Add a meta-data tag to your handheld app's application tag

   <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.wearable.beta.app"
              android:resource="@xml/wearable_app_desc"/>
   

I am not getting why the issue occurs.am using all the user permission which I used in the wear sdk in mobile sdk.

Answer 1

in android studio beside device chose, you can chose your package, select the app , not the wear module and run the project.

Answer 2

Solution 1: I don't know whether you are giving the below feature tag in the AndroidManifest.xml file in the wearable app module. If not, please give it which will solve your problem.

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.type.watch"/>

Solution 2: If you are having different flavours for your mobile app and having only one flavour for the wear app, you need to use the application id of the flavour you used in mobile app in the wear app.

For example: Say you are having two flavors for mobile app 1. com.wear.app.prod 2. com.wear.app.dev

If you are using com.wear.app.prod, the same should be used for your wear app. If you changed to com.wear.app.dev, then the application id of the wear app should be changed to com.wear.app.dev.

Note: This is for apps having only one flavour for wear app and multiple flavours for the mobile app.
