##Overview
Sunshine's mobile app (used in the Udacity Advanced Android course) synchronizes weather information from OpenWeatherMap on Android Phones and Tablets. Go Ubiquitous project is used to design a watch face for Android Wear so that users can access Sunshine's weather information at a glance.
##Prerequisites
The app source code is provided in the course [repository] (https://www.udacity.com/api/nodes/4292653440/supplemental_media/xyzreaderzip/download)
-
The app is built with compileSdkVersion 23 and requires JDK 7 or higher
-
Android Studio
-
Update your SDK tools to version 23.0.0 or higher
-
Update your SDK with Android 4.4W.2 (API 20) or higher
-
Android wear or emulator(instructions to configure which are given below)
-
The Wearable Support Library provides the necessary classes that you extend to create watch face implementations. The Google Play services client libraries (play-services and play-services-wearable) are required to sync data items between the companion device and the wearable with the Wearable Data Layer API.
##Instructions
###Get the source codes
Get the source code of the library and example app, by cloning git repository or downloading archives.
-
If you use git, execute the following command in your workspace directory.
$ git clone https://github.com/Ruchita7/sunshine_watch_face.git -
If you are using Windows, try it on GitBash or Cygwin or something that supports git.
###Import the project to Android Studio
Once the project is cloned to disk you can import into Android Studio:
-
From the toolbar select File > Import Project, or Import Non-Android Studio project from the Welcome Quick Start.
-
Select the directory that is cloned. If you can't see your cloned directory, click "Refresh" icon and find it.
-
Android Studio will import the project and build it. This might take minutes to complete. Even when the project window is opened, wait until the Gradle tasks are finished and indexed.
###Build and install using Gradle
If you just want to install the app to your device, you don't have to import project to Android Studio.
• After cloning the project, make sure ANDROID_HOME environment variable is set to point to your Android SDK. See Getting Started with Gradle.
• Connect an Android device to your computer or start an Android emulator.
• Compile the sample and install it. Run gradlew installDebug. Or if you on a Windows computer, use gradlew.bat instead.
###Set Up an Android Wear Emulator or Device
It is recommended that you develop on real hardware so you can better gauge the user experience. However, the emulator lets you test out different types of screen shapes, which is useful for testing.To set up an Android Wear Emulator or Device follow these instructions
