Bluetooth API for wearable devices
Dear Team,
 
I am planning to prepare an app for Samsung Gear S which would be using BLE profile to access external Bluetooth enabled hardware. After connecting I wanted to send and receive commands between BLE hardware and the the application on Gear S.
 
I wanted to know that is it possible to use BLE SDK for Gear S BLE development which uses TIzen wearable OS?
 

Awaiting your reply.

Thanks

As far as I know the BT connection is only for pairing with Samsung devices

Is it possible to use the Bluetooth API at wearable SDK (Web Application) ??

For example, Like Mobile Web Application,

var adapter = tizen.bluetooth.getDefaultAdapter();

I heard that this feature is supported in mobile applications only. 

I hope to use the Bluetooth API such as adapter, profile, connection and so on at wearable devices.

And then i am gonna attempt to connect Wearable device(Gear2,S) and PC by using SPP bluetooth profile.

Please let me know how to access Bluetooth API at Wearable Application and connect to other device like PC.

As I wrote above... Wearables Bluetooth is only for pairing the wearable device with the Android-Host device. You cannot use Bluetooth like on mobile application to pair it with any device.

Hello,

You cannot use Bluetooth API in wearable app.

Bluetooth using only for pairing with host device (smartphone). And use SAP for pass data between host and wearable.

Thank you for your advice !

It is so helpful to me.

Hello,

according to the documentation, this feature is supported in mobile applications only.

Hey,

is this still true with Tizen 2.3.1? I also would like to create a Bluetooth Connection in a Wearable Standalone App and there is an API mentioned in the documentation:

https://developer.tizen.org/dev-guide/2.3.1/org.tizen.web.apireference/html/device_api/wearable/tizen/bluetooth.html

So, is it possible now? 

AVSukhov

Hello,

Apparently with 2.3.1 version you can use Bluetooth API in web app =)

Also, you can use it in Native app, as 2.3.1 werable supports native apps.

Marco Buettner

Yeah, 2.3.1 allows to use Bluetooth on Wearables

Hello,

as far as I know, Tizen 2.3.1 allows to create a Bluetooth connection in wearables app.

Developer Guide for Bluetooth(for 2.3.1): https://developer.tizen.org/dev-guide/2.3.1/org.tizen.guides/html/web/tizen/communication/bluetooth_w.htm

Hey, these are great news. Thanks for your answers. One more question: Compatible wearables are only the Gear S and Gear S2? Or are there any other Smartwatches that allow to create apps that connect to an other device via bluetooth?

Marco Buettner

All wearables with Tizen 2.3.1 firmware =)

But I didnt know which tizen version is the latest on gear 2 ..

Henrik Dransfeld

Thanks, does anybody know which Wearables will update to Tizen 2.3.1? 

Alessandro Montanari

Does somebody know if I can use sdk 2.3.1 on the Gear 2 Neo?

Thanks

Hi,

Gear 2 neo supports Tizen 2.2. I think that you need to change required_version as below in SDK 2.3.1 to run on Gear 2.

config.xml

       <tizen:application id="XIQbjfoxch.TransferSender" package="XIQbjfoxch" required_version="2.2"/>

 

F.Y.I

     Gear 2, Gear 2 neo and Gear S supports Tizen 2.2.

     Gear S2 supports Tizen 2.3.1

Regards

Palitsyna

Hello,

As daniel kim said, Gear 2 neo supports Tizen 2.2 so you should change required_version in your config.xml file to 2.2 in order to run your application on Gear 2 using SDK 2.3.1.

Or you can use Wearable SDK 1.0.0 for Gear 2 Neo as this device support tizen 2.2.
