Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences.

Represents a predefined or user-defined key-value pair.

Introduced in Wear OS 4.

Syntax

<Metadata key="string" value="string" />

Attributes

Each Metadata element contains 2 attributes, key and value. User-defined metadata elements must use strings for both key and value.

Predefined values for key include the following:

PREVIEW_TIME

Sets the time that appears in the watch face preview. The value must be in HH:MM:SS format; for example, 22:10:00 represents 10:10 PM.

If this value is invalid or unspecified, the watch face uses the system's default time.

CLOCK_TYPE

Specifies the primary watch face type, either DIGITAL or ANALOG. Even if your watch face supports both types, you must specify a primary type to appear in the watch face preview.

If this value is invalid or unspecified, the system uses a default value of ANALOG.

STEP_GOAL

Sets the daily "number of steps" goal that appears in the watch face preview. This value must be a positive integer.

If this value is invalid or unspecified, the watch face uses the system's default daily step goal.
