#AndroidWear Preview : Connect to Emulator

  Yesterday, I couldn't install Android Wear Preview app from Google Play on my tablet Nexus 10 (even it is KitKat). So, I asked on the developer forum. People told me that the app just doesn't support tablet yet (phone only) and somebody suggested me to find apk file (try searching on XDA website)and install it directly. Today, I just did it.

1. I ran the Emulator up. Read this page for the setup.

2. I connected my Nexus 10 to my computer via USB cable and open the Android Wear Preview app then set it's notification access as they say on the Get Start page

3. Then I connect the emulator and Nexus 10 by running below command on the terminal.

adb -d forward tcp:5601 tcp:5601

4.Finally, the Emulator displayed my Nexus 10's notification.  Wow !!

That is for today. See you next time :)

Jelly Bean Emulator

So jealous people who got Nexus 7 and Nexus Q at Google I/O ... I really hope I could be there one day. Whatever, Today I just updated Android SDK and the Jelly Bean (Android 4.1)  was here. I run it on emulator. From my point of view, It's look pretty much the same with Ice cream but they said it was a lot of improving performance. May I need a real device to prove it.
