17. Companion and Standalone Applications
Companion Apps
• 2 parts: Host app runs on Android phone,
and Gear app runs on Gear Device.
• Host app is developed using Android APIs.
• Gear App is developed using Tizen APIs.
Standalone App
• Gear app that is developed using Tizen APIs.

18. Additional Features
Samsung Accessory Protocol
• Companion apps use SAP to communicate between Host Android app and
Gear app.
• Most common architecture followed for Gear Apps. Host device does the
intensive or repeated processing and sends the results to the Gear through
SAP. SAP acts as the medium to transfer data from the Host to the Gear
device.
• Received data is then updated in the UI of Gear apps
Seller Office
• Sell, manage, and promote Gear apps via the Seller Office portal.
Gear App Beta Test
• Seller Office also provides an option to publish your apps to your internal QA
team.
You can also receive feedback from testers.

19. • When you turn on the wearable device, the watch face is the first screen displayed. When
you press the Home key, the running app closes, and the watch face is displayed.
• Limited gestures are supported in a watch face
(such as ‘Tap’ and ‘Double tap’).
• Watch Face States:
• Active
• Watch face is displayed only when watch is active.
• Watch face is displayed in full color.
• Always On
• Watch face is displayed when watch is inactive.
• Watch face is displayed in limited color and brightness.
