I have been working on a project where I need a button on a mobile to start up an activity on the watch. I have been going through the data layer sample in the sdk but can not get it working. I set up a wearable listener service class, but it is not picking up any messages. The service is added to the manifest but it is still not working. I do have other services too and I am thinking I might have too many services.
On the Wear watch, does an activity have to be running in order for it to start another activity? I want the watch to run nothing until it receives a message, is this possible?
Also, what should my edit configuration settings for wear module be? (eg, do not launch activity, launch default or launch from activity) I just want the wearable to boot up when a message is received.
If anybody can point me in the right direction, it would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks.

Accessing the Wearable Data Layer
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener{
private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addApi(Wearable.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.build();
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
@Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
Log.d("GoogleApi", "onConnected: " + bundle);
}
@Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
Log.d("GoogleApi", "onConnectionSuspended: " + i);
}
@Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
Log.d("GoogleApi", "onConnectionFailed: " + connectionResult);
}
GetConnectedNodes
Wearable.NodeApi.getConnectedNodes(mGoogleApiClient).setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<NodeApi.GetConnectedNodesResult>() {
@Override
public void onResult(NodeApi.GetConnectedNodesResult getConnectedNodesResult) {
for (Node node : getConnectedNodesResult.getNodes()) {
sendMessage(node.getId());
}
}
});
SendMessage
public static final String START_ACTIVITY_PATH = "/start/MainActivity";
private void sendMessage(String node) {
Wearable.MessageApi.sendMessage(mGoogleApiClient , node , START_ACTIVITY_PATH , new byte[0]).setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<MessageApi.SendMessageResult>() {
@Override
public void onResult(MessageApi.SendMessageResult sendMessageResult) {
if (!sendMessageResult.getStatus().isSuccess()) {
Log.e("GoogleApi", "Failed to send message with status code: "
+ sendMessageResult.getStatus().getStatusCode());
}
}
});
}
Wear
Implement a Message Listener
WearDataLayerListenerService.java
public class WearDataLayerListenerService extends WearableListenerService {
public static final String START_ACTIVITY_PATH = "/start/MainActivity";
@Override
public void onMessageReceived(MessageEvent messageEvent) {
super.onMessageReceived(messageEvent);
if(messageEvent.getPath().equals(START_ACTIVITY_PATH)){
Intent intent = new Intent(this , MainActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
}
}}
Add Listener Service to Manifest
<service
android:name=".WearDataLayerListenerService">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.gms.wearable.BIND_LISTENER" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
