I can't find anything in the samsung CUP documentation provided in your cup library download you gave us , or in the official documentation about how to add vibration as a property to the alert, or notification, or how to "officially" use the android CUP stuff to cause say, a custom alarm.
Say if I wanted to create a customizable alarm app that is compatible with CUP and the gear fit for instance, and I want to send a vibration (type) of notification to the gear fit which causes it to vibrate for a long period of time..
(without stopping) until say a menu item is pressed on the fit.
How would I do that?
Is such a thing possible for third party developers? Please help me.
THanks.
raw sensors from samsung gear fit
is it possible to get raw 3D accelerometer and gyroscope signals from samsung gear fit ?
if so how ?
Any possibility to add vertical aka portrait mode?
Dear zwegnet,
First of all thank you so much for your effort to enable Gear Fit development by providing CUP SDK.
It seems 1.0 version of SDK was developed when portrait mode was not available on Gear Fit as it was added in some of FW updates. Thus, ScupDialog seems not to have any method to turn the picture or get current screen orientation.
Of course, maybe protocol itself does not have the command for this, but I expect there can be some way embedded into the protocol.
Is there any chance to investigate that and make new version of CUP SDK with screen orientation feature detection/change enabled?
Problem with App Connect
Hello,
First of all thanks for that API, but I got one problem with it. When I use my gear fit app connect to run application it's doesn't provide any information that the application has been launched with the gear fit, it would be better if I could create a Listener or something like that because now when I use app connect it's run my application on phone and I don't know who started running the application, user on the phone or on the gear fit, if it goes from gear fit I would like to create Dialog on it, but when it's from phone I would like to only resume application, but didn't show anything on the clock, so use method onResume is not possible.
If you know how to solve this problem I would be very grateful.
How to run the app.
Hi,
I have made the app as per your given example. I have s3 (android version ) and gear fit. I have connected my gear fit with android.
After installing the apk in my phone, when I open it , it is throwing error "unforthunately fitapp has stopped".
Do i need some type of settings in my gear fit or s3?
Trouble with Gear Fit CUP SDK Example
I grabbed the example App "CUP_SDK_SAMSUNGINTERNAL.zip" from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-fit/development/samsung-gear-fit-sdk-available-t2872803
When I open the example in Android Studio as an Android Studio project it creates a Gradle App is that what it is supposed to do? If so is there a way to run an Android app like that? There are no android packages visible.
how start the apps in gear fit manager?
Once created the app in eclipse and installed the apk in the phone, how to start it in gear fit? just connect to gear fit and start the app?
Thanks for the sdk!!!
CUP SDK Samsung Gear Fit
On the Gear Fit, Is there a way to listen broadcasts associated with the GEAR FIT power button. I would like to tie an event to multiple button presses just like the emergency messaging "SAFETY ASSISTANCE Send help messages"?
Hi,
would it be possible to get the raw accelerometer data from the gear fit whit that?
Thanks,
mac

Hi
No, it's not posible. Samsung CUP is only for creating user interface of Gear Fit Apps.
At this time only Samsung apps (S-Health, Fitness, ..?) have access to device sensors.
Getting IllegalStateException
Hi there,
I came across this Thread and would like to try writing an app for my gear fit. But when I use the sample Code in the Documentation, the only thing i get is an IllegalStateException: Scup is not initialized
Code:
04-01 15:00:52.748 29498-29498/de.chrosey.gearfitone E/AndroidRuntime﹕ FATAL EXCEPTION: main
Process: de.chrosey.gearfitone, PID: 29498

at de.chrosey.gearfitone.cup.HelloCupDialog.<init>(HelloCupDialog.java:15)

...
I tried using the suggested
Code:
<uses-permission android:name="com.samsung.android.providers.context.permission.WRITE_USE_APP_FEATURE_SURVEY" />
but it didn't help.
I am testing on s4 lollipop stock Rom.
Can Somebody help me?
Lollipop compatibility
Is there any compatibility with Android 5.0 and newest version of Gear Fit Manager? Because i've got this error: java.net.BindException: cannot bind service and don't know what to do
Thanks

Help with sensors in gear fit CUP
Hi everybody!
I have just installed Android Studio and I tried to make a wearable application using CUP's library.
Thanks to some guides I attempted it, but I have no idea about how I can collect data from Gear Fit's sensors, especially the heart rate.
Thanks!!
It is not possible to direct access to sensor data. The only way to get that information is through S Health service.
Anybody know if this app will run with the gear without being bluetooth connected?

It will not. It will say Failed to connect to service. I had hoped to use Endomondo as a standalone fitness tracker without my phone but that is not possible. S Health is the only app I've found that can work without a phone.
Endomondo (and S Health of course) can read the heart rate from the Gear S while Runtastic and Strava cannot. Hopefully an update will bring full standalone functionality.

It blows my mind all the data that the s health app will show you on the watch, but not in the app on the phone.
Also wish s health would give audible notifications at every mile like endomondo does.
+1 On Endomondo bringing full standalone functionality. To me the potential of this watch is its capabilities to be able to do more standalone tasks. The watch just came out so support for it may take a little time. The watch certainly has the capabilities to accomplish more than what it does out of the box, but we need developers support in order to take it to the next level. Hopefully more developers get on board.

^^ this. I would imagine the development team didn't design it for use as a stand alone app as prior to the GS, there was no standalone capability. I bet they are working on it now.

But, how can I understand this
This app could only be linked to one Android app, which means that our PRO users must use our Free app when using Gear S! But fear not – when you download the Free version and log in with the account associated with your PRO app, all your PRO features will be automatically unlocked.
?
The pro features work on the free app if you use the same account that is associated with your pro account.
So, I understand that it will not work with stand alone. I have a sim card in my watch, shouldn't the phone be able to connect to the watch, even when it is not within bluetooth range by using cellular data? I get the sam error, can't connect to service.
Endmondo will not work unless Bluetooth connected to the phone unfortunately.
Hi,
There is a fully functional WhatsApp app in the Tizen store - for the Z1. Is there a way to install it on the Gear S, and what steps would I need to follow?
Thanks!
No, this is not possible. Tizen is the complete environment for phones, Gear smartwatches use Tizen wearable, a simplified environment.

Hi everyone,
I'm very excited to announce my Klokker app for the Gear S in the Samsung Apps Store.
The Gear S is an impressive hardware masterpiece that the only thing it needs are fancy apps.
Klokker is an information safe repository especially designed for Samsung Gear S smartwatches.
You can store in your Gear S valuable information sometimes difficult to remember like your car insurance number, your passport number, your VISA card number or your bank account number. This information is protected under a password or passcode to avoid non-authorized access.
I really like my Gear S and I'm working very hard on several ideas to bring new apps to this smartwatch. I'm not only working hard, I'm working with illusion. I'm posting this announcement here because I know I will receive feedback about my work. I want to make the Gear S something really useful in our lives, something that can help us or solve some of our daily life problems.
I'm focused primarily on standalone applications. Companion apps are cool, but I wanna make the Gear S as much independent as I can. In fact, the Gear S is the most independent smartwatch of all. So I'm not following a wrong approach right now.
I will populate my Facebook page, my blog in Tumblr and my Youtube channel with more information in the next days. If you would like follow me on Twitter to keep in touch with all my projects.
Take a look at my support site at ayalawilson.com or look for Klokker in the Samsung Apps store.
Your feedback will be really valuable for me.
Thank you very much in advanced and I hope you like my app!

Hi TheManMountain,
The app Klokker is available in the USA, of course.
There is a problem with several apps (including Klokker) when your phone is a Galaxy S6/S6 Edge/S6 Edge+.
They cannot see my app listed on the Samsung Gear Apps store. Something similar happened with the Opera app last April.
Right now tow users have this problem. You from the USA and another guy from Spain.
I'm investigating the issue and I reported the case to Samsung.
Best regards,
JMAW
Nokia Navigator
Hi all!
Could anyone rip Nokia Navigator?
I live in China, where due to political reasons we couldnot get foreign map apps from Samsung gear store.
There is no result if search Navigator in Samsung app store or gear app store.
So I'm here to ask if anyone could provide the install package for gear s.
Thank you very much!
