This class is deprecated.
use the androidx.wear.ambient.AmbientModeSupport provided by the Jetpack Wear library instead.

Base activity class for use on wearables. Provides compatibility for Ambient mode support.

If this library is passed through proguard optimization, make sure to add the com.google.android.wearable:wearable jar to the list of proguard library jars. Using gradle this can be accomplished by adding the following dependency line: 

 dependencies {
     provided 'com.google.android.wearable:wearable:1.0+'
 }

Constants

EXTRA_BURN_IN_PROTECTION

public static final String EXTRA_BURN_IN_PROTECTION

Property in bundle passed to onEnterAmbient(Bundle) and onUpdateAmbient() to indicate whether burn-in protection is required. When this property is set to true, views must be shifted around periodically in ambient mode. To ensure that content isn't shifted off the screen, avoid placing content within 10 pixels of the edge of the screen. Activities should also avoid solid white areas to prevent pixel burn-in. Both of these requirements only apply in ambient mode, and only when this property is set to true.

Constant Value: "com.google.android.wearable.compat.extra.BURN_IN_PROTECTION"

EXTRA_LOWBIT_AMBIENT

public static final String EXTRA_LOWBIT_AMBIENT

Property in bundle passed to onEnterAmbient(Bundle) and onUpdateAmbient() to indicate whether the device has low-bit ambient mode. When this property is set to true, the screen supports fewer bits for each color in ambient mode. In this case, activities should disable anti-aliasing in ambient mode.

Constant Value: "com.google.android.wearable.compat.extra.LOWBIT_AMBIENT"

Public methods

dump

public void dump (String prefix, 
                FileDescriptor fd, 
                PrintWriter writer, 
                String[] args)

Parameters
prefix String

fd FileDescriptor

writer PrintWriter

args String

isAmbient

public final boolean isAmbient ()

Returns
boolean true if the activity is currently in ambient.

onEnterAmbient

public void onEnterAmbient (Bundle ambientDetails)

Called when an activity is entering ambient mode. This event is sent while an activity is running (after onResume, before onPause). All drawing should complete by the conclusion of this method. Note that invalidate() calls will be executed before resuming lower-power mode.

Derived classes must call through to the super class's implementation of this method. If they do not, an exception will be thrown.

Parameters
ambientDetails Bundle: bundle containing information about the display being used. It includes information about low-bit color and burn-in protection.

onExitAmbient

public void onExitAmbient ()

Called when an activity should exit ambient mode. This event is sent while an activity is running (after onResume, before onPause).

Derived classes must call through to the super class's implementation of this method. If they do not, an exception will be thrown.

onUpdateAmbient

public void onUpdateAmbient ()

Called when the system is updating the display for ambient mode. Activities may use this opportunity to update or invalidate views.

setAmbientEnabled

public final void setAmbientEnabled ()

Sets that this activity should remain displayed when the system enters ambient mode. The default is false. In this case, the activity is stopped when the system enters ambient mode.

setAutoResumeEnabled

public final void setAutoResumeEnabled (boolean enabled)

Sets whether this activity's task should be moved to the front when the system exits ambient mode. If true, the activity's task may be moved to the front if it was the last activity to be running when ambient started, depending on how much time the system spent in ambient mode.

Parameters
enabled boolean
