Support for the new Watch Face Format #944

Closed licon4812 closed 1 month ago

licon4812 commented 1 month ago

Android application type

Android for .NET (net6.0-android, etc.)

Affected platform version

VS 2022, WearOS 5

Description

Is it possible to support the new Watch Face Format in dotnet for Android, and Visual Studio?

It is a requirement that all watch faces for wearos5 are designed in this new format

IntelliSense for the new XML format would be awesome as well (I am not sure where to ask for this)

Relevant log output

If I'm understanding this correctly, there's no usage of Java or executable code in this project type:

Created in partnership with Samsung, the Watch Face Format is a declarative XML format to configure the appearance and behavior of watch faces. This means that there's no executable code involved in creating a watch face, and there's no code embedded in your watch face APK.

As such, I don't think there's anything for .NET for Android to support if it's just an XML file.

Likely the best bet would be to use Android Studio if it provides any support for this project.

That makes sense. Thank you for the quick response
