Sharing Data between iPhone and Apple Watch apps

#Sharing Data between iPhone and Apple Watch apps

So we've already taken a look at some of the issues we've faced building our Whiskr Apple Watch app, next we're going to look into how we shared data between the iPhone and Apple Watch app. This was probably one of the hardest aspects to learn and get right, and the current documentation isn't all that great!

To do this we'll have to create an App Group which is essentially a space which both apps can use. It was brought in with the exetension framework in iOS8 so apps can communicate with their Today widgets, or custom keyboards, and amongst other applications.

Add Capabilities

The first thing we have to do is add the app group capability to both our iPhone and Watch Watch Extension targets.

Getting Started with a library project in Android Studio

Getting Started with a library project in Android Studio

So we're working on creating Android Material Awesome, a library which will hopefully incorperate the benefits of Material Design, Twitter's Bootstrap, and FontAwesome. What we really wanted is a project other people can easily include into their projects using gradle dependencies. To do this we needed to create a standalone library project so we could make it as lightweight as possible for including as a dependency, and a sample app that would use it for testing. These are the steps we took to get started in Android Studio (version 1.1).

Create Projects

The first thing we needed to do was to create two new projects, with all the default settings (Blank Activity etc). One for our sample app, and one for our library. We added both of ours into the same GitHub repo, however you can save them wherever you like.

Fix Up Library Project

How to Add Multiple Row Types in an Apple Watch Table

#How to Add Multiple Row Types in an Apple Watch Table

Since we've got our project set up one of the first interface items you might be using is a table. There are a lot of blog posts on how to get started with tables however one of the things we wanted to do with Whiskr was to use multiple types of rows in a single table e.g. we have a loading row, a heading row, and a content row. This blog will help you use several types of rows in your app too!

##1. Interface Builder

Firstly, we want to open the Apple App Storyboard (found in the WatchKit App folder). You should have an interface controller with a table in it. To create different types of rows you need to add more rows by selecting the table and in the inspector increase the number of rows. This will g
