TileService


public abstract class TileService extends Service


Base class for a service providing data for an app tile.

A provider service must implement onTileRequest and onTileResourcesRequest to respond to requests for updates from the system.

The manifest declaration of this service must include an intent filter for ACTION_BIND_TILE_PROVIDER.

The manifest entry should also include android:permission="com.google.android.wearable.permission.BIND_TILE_PROVIDER" to ensure that only the system can bind to it.

Constants

ACTION_BIND_TILE_PROVIDER

Added in 1.0.0
public static final String ACTION_BIND_TILE_PROVIDER = "androidx.wear.tiles.action.BIND_TILE_PROVIDER"

The intent action used to send update requests to the provider. Tile provider services must declare an intent filter for this action in the manifest.

EXTRA_CLICKABLE_ID

Added in 1.0.0
public static final String EXTRA_CLICKABLE_ID = "androidx.wear.tiles.extra.CLICKABLE_ID"

The ID for the Intent extra containing the ID of the Clickable.

METADATA_PREVIEW_KEY

Added in 1.0.0
public static final String METADATA_PREVIEW_KEY = "androidx.wear.tiles.PREVIEW"

The name of the metadata key that should contain a drawable to be presented as a Tile preview.

Public constructors

TileService

Added in 1.0.0
public TileService()

Public methods

getActiveTilesAsync

Added in 1.4.0
public static @NonNull ListenableFuture<List<ActiveTileIdentifier>> getActiveTilesAsync(@NonNull Context context, @NonNull Executor executor)

Returns the list of active tiles belonging to the passed context's package name. A tile is considered to be active if it is present in the carousel.

The result reflects the state of carousel at the time the call was made, which might've changed by the time the result is received. onTileAddEvent and onTileRemoveEvent should be used instead for live updates.

Compatibility behavior:

On SDKs older than U, this method is a best-effort to match platform behavior, but may not always return all tiles present in the carousel. The possibly omitted tiles being the pre-installed tiles, all tiles if the user has cleared the app data, or the tiles a user hasn't visited in the last 60 days, while tiles removed by an app update may be shown as active for 60 days afterwards.

Parameters
@NonNull Context context

The application context.

@NonNull Executor executor

The executor on which methods should be invoked. To dispatch events through the main thread of your application, you can use getMainExecutor.

Returns
@NonNull ListenableFuture<List<ActiveTileIdentifier>>

A list of ActiveTileIdentifier for the tiles belonging to the passed context present in the carousel, or a value based on platform-specific fallback behavior.

getUpdater

Added in 1.0.0
public static @NonNull TileUpdateRequester getUpdater(@NonNull Context context)

Gets an instance of TileUpdateRequester to allow a Tile Provider to notify the tile's renderer that it should request a new Timeline from this TileService.

Parameters
@NonNull Context context

The application context.

onBind

Added in 1.0.0
public @Nullable IBinder onBind(@NonNull Intent intent)

Added in 1.0.0
Deprecated in 1.2.0
@MainThread
protected @NonNull ListenableFuture<ResourceBuilders.ResourcesonResourcesRequest(

Called when the system is requesting a resource bundle from this Tile Provider. The returned future must complete after at most 10 seconds from the moment this method is called (exact timeout length subject to change).

Note that this is called from your app's main thread, which is usually also the UI thread.

Parameters

Note that this is called from your app's main thread, which is usually also the UI thread.

Parameters
@NonNull EventBuilders.TileAddEvent requestParams

Parameters about the request. See TileAddEvent for more info.

onTileEnterEvent

Added in 1.0.0
Deprecated in 1.5.0-alpha05
@MainThread
protected void onTileEnterEvent(@NonNull EventBuilders.TileEnterEvent requestParams)

Parameters
@NonNull EventBuilders.TileLeaveEvent requestParams

Parameters about the request. See TileLeaveEvent for more info.

onTileRemoveEvent

Added in 1.0.0
@MainThread
protected void onTileRemoveEvent(@NonNull EventBuilders.TileRemoveEvent requestParams)

Called when a tile provided by this Tile Provider is removed from the carousel.

Note that this is called from your app's main thread, which is usually also the UI thread.

Parameters
@NonNull EventBuilders.TileRemoveEvent requestParams

Parameters about the request. See TileRemoveEvent for more info.

onTileRequest

Added in 1.0.0
@MainThread
protected abstract @NonNull ListenableFuture<TileBuilders.TileonTileRequest(@NonNull RequestBuilders.TileRequest requestParams)

Called when the system is requesting a new timeline from this Tile Provider. The returned future must complete after at most 10 seconds from the moment this method is called (exact timeout length subject to change).

Note that this is called from your app's main thread, which is usually also the UI thread.

Parameters
@NonNull RequestBuilders.TileRequest requestParams

Parameters about the request. See TileRequest for more info.

onTileResourcesRequest

Added in 1.2.0
@MainThread
protected @NonNull ListenableFuture<ResourceBuilders.ResourcesonTileResourcesRequest(
    @NonNull RequestBuilders.ResourcesRequest requestParams
)

Called when the system is requesting a resource bundle from this Tile Provider. This can happen on the first time a Tile is being loaded or whenever the resource version requested by a Tile (in onTileRequest) changes.

The returned future must complete after at most 10 seconds from the moment this method is called (exact timeout length subject to change).

Note that this is called from your app's main thread, which is usually also the UI thread. If onTileResourcesRequest is not implemented, the TileService will fallback to onResourcesRequest.

Parameters
@NonNull RequestBuilders.ResourcesRequest requestParams

Parameters about the request. See ResourcesRequest for more info.

processRecentInteractionEvents

Added in 1.5.0-alpha05
@MainThread
protected void processRecentInteractionEvents(
    @NonNull List<EventBuilders.TileInteractionEvent> events
)

Called when the system sends a batch of Tile interaction events that happened since the last time this method was called. The time between calls to this method may vary, do not depend on it for time-sensitive or critical tasks.

This method is called from your app's main thread, which is usually also the UI thread.

Parameters
@NonNull List<EventBuilders.TileInteractionEvent> events

A list of TileInteractionEvent representing interactions that occurred.
