How to import “android.support.wearable.watchface” in Eclipse for Android Wear?

Question

I'm doing my best to figure out how to develop apps in Eclipse for Android Wear (I really don't like Android Studio). I have made a couple of apps so far for Android Wear in Eclipse that work perfectly fine, but I'm running into a big problem when trying to create a Watch Face.

I can't import the following:

import android.support.v7.graphics.Palette;
import android.support.wearable.watchface.CanvasWatchFaceService;
import android.support.wearable.watchface.WatchFaceService;
import android.support.wearable.watchface.WatchFaceStyle;

I have added the wearable-1.0.0.aar as a library as discussed here . I have tried adding as an external jar the "android-support-v7-appcomapt.jar" file located at "...sdk\\extras\\android\\support\\v7\\appcompat\\libs", but still no luck.

I am using the "Watchface" example given by google. When using it in Android Studio it works perfectly fine. The exact error I'm getting is:

CanvasWatchFaceService cannot be resolved to a type

Also, in my project under Android Private Libraries I have "classes.jar" and "android-support-v4.jar".

Does anyone have a fix? I figure it has something to do with external libraries and/or a jar I've missed.

Answer 1

Managed to figure it out. For anyone else who comes across this thread, the answer lies in the wearable-1.0.0 library in that it does not contain CanvasWatchFaceService. After looking through some of the other wearable projects, I found that the later versions have it. Just go to ...sdk\\extras\\google\\m2repository\\com\\google\\android\\support\\wearable. I chose the wearable-1.4.0 version.

Also, I added the external jar "android-support-v7-palette.jar" from the Android tools folder.

Now everything works perfectly for me.
