TileService


abstract class TileService : Service

Known direct subclasses
GlanceTileService

TileService which can consume a Glance composition, convert it to a Wear Tile, and provide it to the system.


Base class for a service providing data for an app tile.

A provider service must implement onTileRequest and onTileResourcesRequest to respond to requests for updates from the system.

The manifest declaration of this service must include an intent filter for ACTION_BIND_TILE_PROVIDER.

The manifest entry should also include android:permission="com.google.android.wearable.permission.BIND_TILE_PROVIDER" to ensure that only the system can bind to it.

Public functions

getActiveTilesAsync

Added in 1.4.0-alpha01
java-static fun getActiveTilesAsync(context: Context, executor: Executor): ListenableFuture<(Mutable)List<ActiveTileIdentifier!>!>

Returns the list of active tiles belonging to the passed context's package name. A tile is considered to be active if it is present in the carousel.

The result reflects the state of carousel at the time the call was made, which might've changed by the time the result is received. onTileAddEvent and onTileRemoveEvent should be used instead for live updates.

This method may not always return all tiles present in the carousel. The possibly omitted tiles being the pre-installed tiles, all tiles if the user has cleared the app data, or the tiles a user hasn't visited in the last 60 days, while tiles removed by an app update may be shown as active for 60 days afterwards.

Parameters
context: Context

The application context.

executor: Executor

The executor on which methods should be invoked. To dispatch events through the main thread of your application, you can use getMainExecutor.

Returns
ListenableFuture<(Mutable)List<ActiveTileIdentifier!>!>

A list of ActiveTileIdentifier for the tiles belonging to the passed context present in the carousel, or a value based on platform-specific fallback behavior.

getUpdater

Added in 1.0.0
java-static fun getUpdater(context: Context): TileUpdateRequester

Gets an instance of TileUpdateRequester to allow a Tile Provider to notify the tile's renderer that it should request a new Timeline from this TileService.

Parameters
context: Context

The application context.

onBind

Added in 1.0.0
fun onBind(intent: Intent): IBinder?
