How To Show A Screen If Sony Smartwatch Is Locked

How to show a screen in sony smartwatch 2 when screen is locked like we does with a call application. even if the screen is locked when we receive a call it shows upfront. I am abl

Solution 1:

To start a ControlExtension on SmartWatch2, there is a startRequest command, which can be sent this way:

protectedvoidstartRequest() {
    Intent intent = new Intent(Control.Intents.CONTROL_START_REQUEST_INTENT);
    sendToHostApp(intent);
}

where

protectedvoidsendToHostApp(final Intent intent){
    ExtensionUtils.sendToHostApp(mContext, mHostAppPackageName, intent);
}

• mContext is the Context of your activity or service, from where you are sending the command
• mHostAppPackageName is the name of the invoked device host application, in this case for SmartWatch2: "com.sonymobile.smartconnect.smartwatch2"

This command will start and show the ControlExtension, which is registered in your application.
