How to create an APK watch pack

So you have created an awesome watch with WatchMaker and you want to distribute through Google Play? Well, from WatchMaker 3.3.0 this is now possible!

You can create “WatchMaker Watch Packs” with one or more watches inside. The APK will contain the Pack Name and will contain the embedded watch file(s) which in themselves, will contain embedded images and fonts.

Requirements

  • WatchMaker v3.3.0 or above
  • Google Play developer account
  • Eclipse or Android Studio

Create Watch File(s)

So you have already created your masterpiece in WatchMaker? All you need to do now is create a watch file, which you probably know how to do already.

  • Make sure you are on the watch preview screen (hit back if you are already on the edit screen).
  • Hit Export / Share
  • A watch file has now been created at BeautifulWatches/export, e.g. steel-green.watch
  • Send this file to your PC / MAC as you will need this in the next step below.

Build Eclipse / Android Studio Project

  • Download sample project from HERE
  • Uncompress this project to a new folder in your workspace
  • Rename the folder to your “WatchMaker Watch Pack” name
  • Copy the watch file(s) into the “assets” folder of your new project
  • In Eclipse / Android Studio, select “Import Existing Projects into Workspace”
  • Browse to the project folder and select Finish
