Pro Android Wearables: Building Apps for Smartwatches

Pro Android Wearables details how to design and build Android Wear apps for new and unique Android wearable device types, such as Google Android smartwatches, which use the new WatchFaces API, as well as health-monitoring features and other cool features such as altimeters and compasses. It's time to take your Android 5 Wear application development skills and experience to the next level and get exposure to a whole new world of hardware.

As smartwatches continue to grab major IoT headlines, there is a growing interest in building Android apps that run on these wearables, which are now being offered by dozens of major manufacturers. This means more revenue earning opportunity for today's indie app developers. Additionally, this book provides new media design concepts which relate to using media assets, as well as how to optimize Wear applications for low-power, single-core, dual-core or quad-core CPUs, and how to use the IntelliJ Android Studio IDE, and the Android device emulators for popular new wearable devices.

《Pro Android Wearables》詳細介紹了如何設計和建立Android Wear應用程序，以適應新型和獨特的Android可穿戴設備類型，例如使用新的WatchFaces API的Google Android智能手錶，以及健康監測功能和其他酷炫功能，如高度計和指南針。現在是時候將您的Android 5 Wear應用程序開發技能和經驗提升到新的水平，並接觸全新的硬體世界。

隨著智能手錶繼續成為物聯網的主要焦點，越來越多人對開發運行在這些可穿戴設備上的Android應用程序感興趣，這些設備現在由數十家主要製造商提供。這意味著對當今獨立應用程序開發人員來說，有更多的收入機會。此外，本書還介紹了與使用媒體資產相關的新媒體設計概念，以及如何為低功耗、單核、雙核或四核CPU優化Wear應用程序，以及如何使用IntelliJ Android Studio IDE和Android設備模擬器來開發流行的新型可穿戴設備。
