Teleport - Data Sync & Messaging Library for Android Wear

Teleport is a library to easily setup and manage Data Syncronization and Messaging on Android Wearables.

The library is thought for Android Studio.

##Quick Overview

You can see Teleport as an Android Wear "plugin" you can add to your Activities and Services.

Teleport provides you commodity classes to easily establish a communication between a mobile handheld device and an Android Wear device.

• TeleportClient provides you "endpoints" you can put inside your Activities, both in Mobile and Wear.
• TeleportService is a full-fledged, already set-up 'WearableListenerService'.

Both these classes incapsulates all the GoogleApiClient setup required to establish a connection between Mobile and Wear.

TeleportClient and TeleportService also provide you two AsyncTask you can extend to easily perform operations with the synced DataItems and received Messages:

• OnSyncDataItemTask provides you a complete DataMap of synced data
• OnGetMessageTask provides you access to a received Message path in form of String.

You just need to extend these tasks inside your Activity/Service and you're good to go!

To Sync Data and send Messages, you can use commodity methods like

• sync<ItemType>(String key, <ItemType> item) to Sync Data across devices
• sendMessage(String path, byte[] payload) to send a Message to another device.

• TeleportClient in Activity: How to setup a TeleportClient.
• TeleportService: How to setup a TeleportService.
• Sync Data: How to Sync Data

• Advanced Usage: AsyncTask Factory and Callbacks

##Can I have an example of how easy is Teleport to use?

There you go :-)

Here's a Mobile and a Wear Activity already configured to Sync Data.

• The MobileActivity synchronizes a string "Hello, World!".
• The WearActivity shows a Toast with the synchronized string.

###MobileActivity.java

    
    public class MobileActivity extends Activity {

    TeleportClient mTeleportClient;
    
        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_mobile);

             mTeleportClient = new TeleportClient(this);         
         }

        @Override
        protected void onStart() {
            super.onStart();
            mTeleportClient.connect();
            }

        @Override
        protected void onStop() {
            super.onStop();
            mTeleportClient.disconnect();
         }
    
  
        public void syncDataItem(View v) {                   
           //Let's sync a String!
           mTeleportClient.syncString("hello", "Hello, World!");   
        }
        
    }

###WearActivity.java

    public class WearActivity extends Activity {
    
        TeleportClient mTeleportClient;
        
        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_wear);
    
             mTeleportClient = new TeleportClient(this);
             
             mTeleportClient.setOnSyncDataItemTask(new ShowToastHelloWorldTask());
             
        }
    
        @Override
        protected void onStart() {
            super.onStart();
            mTeleportClient.connect();
        }
    
        @Override
        protected void onStop() {
            super.onStop();
            mTeleportClient.disconnect();
    
        }
    
        public class ShowToastHelloWorldTask extends TeleportClient.OnSyncDataItemTask {
        
                @Override
                protected void onPostExecute(DataMap dataMap) {
        
                    String hello = dataMap.getString("hello");   
        
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),hello,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
        }
            
    }
