Android wear support? #711

Open gofirst2220 opened 8 years ago

gofirst2220 commented 8 years ago

I have Moto 360 and I'm wondering if you are going to add Android wear support to the app?

nwalters512 commented 8 years ago

Are you talking about adding the ability to browse all of TBA on Wear? We have support for notifications on Wear. Porting the entire app to Wear would be a major undertaking.

Well, more like interactive notifications like Google Now Cards on Android Wear 6.0.1. You can like get latest scores, ranks, etc.

This reminds me of #88. To do what you're describing, we really have to be able to take intelligent guesses about what the user cares about at any point in time, and do it in a way that doesn't result in information overload. Otherwise, we have to show all scores, and all event rankings, and then we're pretty much at the point of having to rebuild the app.

@phil-lopreiato any thoughts on this? It would be mega cool to have this work, but definitely difficult. Maybe (another) big summer project?

I think this first priority in this area should be to try and get a Google Now card. I recall a while back they opened it up specifically to some third party apps, but I haven't seen anything available for new ones. Anybody know anybody at Google we could inquire with?

As far as I've been able to determine so far, Google Now still doesn't have an available API besides the email integration.

They have an API for it but it's invite only at the moment. So only big apps have it.
