Wayne Piekarski, Developer Advocate for Android Wear, will give a technical deep dive on writing applications for Android Wear. We will discuss the overall architecture of Android Wear applications, and how it compares to developing for existing Android devices. The features of Google Play Services that are used to support efficient communication between devices will be explained, which is important when developing apps for a power and resource constrained platform. The talk will also cover the wearable support library, which provides extra functionality to develop great wearable experiences. It includes common user interface components that developers can use to support round and square watches, notification cards, long press to dismiss, countdowns, confirmations, 2D pickers, and selection lists.
