Chapter 3. Let us Help Capture What is on Your Mind - Saving Data and Customizing the UI

Building the note-taking from scratch was a good learning experience. In this chapter, we will understand upgrading the same code for a new user interface with Wear design standards. The Wear-note 1 app will get migrated to Wear-note 2 with the following update:

  • Integrating the Realm database
  • UI updates
  • Integrating custom fonts and assets
  • Finalizing the project

To further assist the open wear-note 1 project in your Android Studio, compile the project and check the project screen by screen. You will discover that the main functionality of the application is saving notes on Wear devices. In this application, we have a white color background and black color font. SharedPreferences is helping the application to persist the data.

Further recapping, we know how to work with WearableRecyclerView, DelayedConfirmationView, and BoxInsetLayout for getting the best application experience on Wear devices.

Taking it forward...
