Android Wear 2.0 for China - Developer Preview

Posted by Hoi Lam, Developer Advocate

Today at Google
Developer Day China, we are happy to announce a href="https://developer.android.google.cn/wear/preview/?utm_campaign=android wear_launch_chinadeveloperpreview_121316&utm_source=anddev&utm_medium=blog">developer preview
of Android Wear 2.0 for developers creating apps for China. Android Wear 2.0 is
the biggest update since our partners launched their first devices in China last
year.

We're making a Developer Preview available today and plan to release additional
updates in the coming months. Please send us your feedback by href="http://g.co/wearpreviewbug">filing bugs or posting in our href="https://plus.google.com/communities/113381227473021565406">Android Wear
Developers community.

Developing for the Chinese Market

With Android Wear 2.0, apps can access the internet directly on Android Wear
devices. As a result, for the majority of apps, having a companion phone
application is no longer necessary. This means that most developers creating
apps for Android Wear 2.0 may no longer need to import the Google Play services
library.

There are two situations where developers will need to import Google Play
services for China:

• Apps that require direct interaction with the paired mobile
  device - some experiences require Android Wear to connect directly to a
  paired phone. In this case, the href="https://developer.android.google.cn/training/wearables/data-layer/?utm_campaign=android wear_launch_chinadeveloperpreview_121316&utm_source=anddev&utm_medium=blog">Data
  Layer API introduced in Android Wear 1.0 will continue to function.
  
• New href="https://developer.android.google.cn/training/articles/wear-location-detection.html?utm_campaign=building-for-wear-215&utm_source=dac&utm_medium=blog">FusedLocationProvider
  for China - we have added location detection to the SDK for Chinese
  developers. With the user's permission, your app can receive location updates
  via the FusedLocationProvider.

You can find more details about how to import the China compatible version of
Google Play services library href="https://developer.android.google.cn/training/wearables/apps/creating-app-china.html?utm_campaign=android wear_launch_chinadeveloperpreview_121316&utm_source=anddev&utm_medium=blog">here.
