How to install Clock Face?

I'm trying to understand how to install a custom watch face I created? I used an example from Tizen SDK and created a project based on 'Analog Clock' project. I can install it and open the app on my Gear S. But when I press Home button, the other Clock Face appears. How do I configure my watch to use that Analog Clock face? I don't see it in Settings -> Style -> Clock -> Clock Type???

Hi,

If you install your clockface properly on your Gear S, you can see it in following menu.  I would suggest you to check logs when you install it.

   settings --> style --> Clocks --> Clock Type

In case of clockface, you need to setup it in the setting after installation.

I install it in Tizen SDK via Run command. After installation I see this in logs: 

Tizen application is successfully launched.

The application is not available for run. So the application is just installed.

Then I can launch the app on the watch. But it doesn't appear in the 'Clock Type' menu. I see only stock cloks there?

Any advice on this?

Hi,

I would suggest you to check configl.xml whether it includes below one. It is required for watchface.

    <tizen:category name="com.samsung.wmanager.WATCH_CLOCK"/>

In my project it's set to 

<tizen:category name="http://tizen.org/category/wearable_clock"/>

Is this incorrect?

Hi,

I think that below one is for Gear S2( Tizen 2.3.1).

   <tizen:category name="http://tizen.org/category/wearable_clock"/>

 

Therefore I would suggest you to use following one for Gear S(Tizen 2.2).

  <tizen:category name="com.samsung.wmanager.WATCH_CLOCK"/>

Hello,

I agree with Daniel comment: you need to use WATCH_CLOCK category for clock face on Gear S device.

Note from documentation:

To run your application on Samsung Gear 2, Samsung Gear 2 Neo, and Samsung Gear S devices, use <tizen:category name="com.samsung.wmanager.WATCH_CLOCK" /> instead of <tizen:category name="http://tizen.org/category/wearable_clock" />.
