An android application reconstruction method for smart watches

Abstract

The invention discloses a smart watch-oriented Android application reconstruction method. The method is as follows: 1) For a set Android application, create an empty folder Mobile, migrate all the source files of the application to the Mobile folder, and then generate a Wear module under the root directory of the application; 2) Add the code that supports watch features in the Wear module, and add the dependent library files of the watch; and copy the application source code to the Wear module; 3) Replace the API in the Wear module with the API of the watch application; 4) Replace the The overall page layout of the application is reduced according to the corresponding ratio of the mobile phone and the watch; or firstly identify all unit controls in the application page, and then reduce each unit control to a size that fits the width of the watch screen, and determine the importance of the unit controls Sort. The method reduces the development and maintenance cost of smart watch applications.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a smart watch-oriented Android application reconstruction method, which uses program analysis and reconstruction technology to reconstruct an Android application developed for a smart phone into an application suitable for a smart watch, and belongs to the field of software technology. Background technique [0002] "Analysis of the Development Status and Future Prospects of China's Smart Watch Industry in 2015" shows that smart watches may become another epoch-making product in the field of consumer electronics after the era of tablet computers led by the iPad. At present, mainstream smart watches include Apple Watch equipped with Watch OS, Gear, LG, Moto360 and so on with Android Wear system. Taking Android Wear as an example, smart watch applications are still relatively lacking, and most Android applications cannot be easily transplanted, because smart watches have small screens, different interaction methods from mobile pho...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Although this method guarantees the experience of the application, there are two problems: on the one hand, for individuals or small and medium-sized enterprises to redevelop smart watch applications, the development cost and cost are relatively high; on the other hand, when it is necessary to modify the application content , it is necessary to modify two different applications of the Android version and the Android Wear version at the same time, which will increase the maintenance cost

[0004] It can be seen that although redeveloping a smart watch version of the application will give users the best experience, the development cost and maintenance cost are relatively large.
