Summary
We began this chapter with a discussion of how to keep our apps running when our wearable device goes into ambient mode. We then augmented our step counter activity using our Today
app from Chapter 7, Voice Interaction, Sensors, and Tracking, to make it always on, thereby getting up close to the parts of the Android Wear API that let us enable ambient mode for our apps. We then concluded with a brief note on debugging wearable apps over Bluetooth before proving a sneak preview of Android Wear 2.0.
