Cannot install helloAccessory widget on Galaxy Gear 1

Hi All

I have followed http://img-developer.samsung.com/contents/cmm/SamsungGearApplication_GettingStarted_1.0.pdf to generate apk along with wgt inside its assets folder. However, no widget is found in Geart Manager on my host device after apk installation is done.

Any idea?

Thanks

Environment : Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy Gear One

I have the same problem, anyone installed the sample application on Gear1?

Gear 1 is android and Gear 2 is Tizen!

How you expect the Tizen widget to run on Android?

I'm installing the apk on the host (which is android) so that should work fine. and according to the guide, as soon as the apk is installed, it sends the wgt to the gear and let it install there. Also in the guide, they do not specifically say for which model it applies... they just say "Gear", so I am assuming their guide is not restricted to Gear 2.

 

Is there any 'Galaxy' word in the guide?

Gear 1 was named : Galaxy Gear

Gear 2 was named: Samsung Gear

It won't work. You need Gear Tizen device.

Just use the emulator although it is painful

Samsung Gear Application consists of the Host-side Application which runs on Android-based Samsung mobile devices, and the Wearable-side Widget which runs on Tizen-based Samsung Gear devices. The Host-side Application can be developed in the common Android development environment, whereas, the Wearable-side Widget can be developed with Tizen SDK for Wearable. In addition, Accessory package, in Samsung Mobile SDK, is the necessary component for communicating between the Host-side Application and Wearable-side Widget.

Penny dropped. But, how can I develop on gear 1? Probably just write a simple HelloWorld app?
