I am a Windows Phone developer who writes apps for wearable devices like the Pebble that are not supported or poorly supported on Windows Phone. In order to understand the Bluetooth protocol for the device I normally download the manufacturers apk for their device and decompile it to understand the Bluetooth packet requirements.
I have been using a Nexus 7 which has worked well but the last couple of devices I have purchased, Google Play will not allow me to download the apk because my Nexus 7 is not a phone. So the question is what would be the recommended pre-owned device I should get that will still allow me to download apps meant for an Android phone but still allow me to get to Google Play and the apk when downloaded.
If it makes a difference, I use Verizon but if a suitable phone was not available or too expensive, I would be willing to go with a phone I could not use on Verizon but still use Google Play on.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
I have a Gear Fit but I do not have a Galaxy S5, would it be possible to develop an application to download the information from the Gear Fit without using S Health?
If there is no app, I would appreciate if someone can direct me on how to create one.

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,

Thanks,

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

I am testing on s4 lollipop stock Rom.

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.
we are about to roll out approx 100 Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 devices.
we are looking for a way to configure one device to the way we want it, with a couple of non play store apps and various restrictions and settings pre-configured, and then create an image of that so we can then use it to install on the rest.
is that at all possible?
no-one?

Can I use Galaxy book experience by applying this?
Get Galaxy Book Experience from the Microsoft Store
Galaxy Book Experience
apps.microsoft.com
Address of the Galaxy book experience.
Excuse me, have you tried it? Is it ready to use?
Now I open the Galaxy Book Experience with a non-Samsung laptop and it shows that this app is only for Galaxy Book
No, the Galaxy Book Experience app is specifically designed for Samsung Galaxy Book devices and is not intended to be used on other computers. The app is designed to provide an enhanced user experience and additional features that are optimized for the Galaxy Book hardware, such as a touch screen and stylus support.
If you want to access the features of the Galaxy Book Experience app on another computer, you may be able to find similar functionality in other software applications that are designed for use on desktop or laptop computers. For example, Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Suite both offer a range of productivity tools and creative features that can be used on a variety of devices, including laptops and desktops.
